We arrived at Kuala Lumpur Airport at 17:32 Malaysian time after a 12 hour and 22 minute flight from Heathrow. We now had a 4 hour and 18 minute stopover in the transit terminal. I’d planned a quick session in the gym at the transit terminal hotel so headed off there. Whilst there I met Derek and his wife. Derek was also an age-group athlete travelling to Auckland for the Triathlon World Champs. We had a chat and a quick spin on the bikes in the gym along with a small core workout. Nothing too much, just and excuse to move about a bit between flights and have a shower.<\/p>\n

Kuala Lumpur<\/p><\/div>\n

Anna, Morgan and my parents meanwhile explored the transit terminal and then we all met up for a little wander through the Rain Forest Boardwalk and a coffee and cake. It was then time to board Flight MH131 to Auckland. Anna as usual was doing a good job of\u00a0handling\u00a0all the paperwork, tickets , passports, boarding cards etc and we were soon through security and ready to board the flight.<\/p>\n

Flight MH131<\/p><\/div>\n

This flight was a 10 hour flight covering 5408 miles aboard a Boeing 777. The \u00a05 of us were sat in the middle row seats, so no window seats again, but the food was good and there was wine and beer available for free too. I managed to resist temptation though as I was trying to be good and stick to my ‘diet’ especially as the race was looming. Morgan thought the ‘Spicy Prawns’ for breakfast were called ‘Mighty Prawns’, a name that stuck for the whole holiday.<\/p>\n

This flight was a little quieter, the first one had been really noisy for some reason but I still didn’t manage to sleep at all. The flight was OK but we were all glad to get off the plane at Auckland after two full days of travelling.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
