Superb event!
Loved the swim start - jumping off the pier! Swim was tricky with the current. Pretty quick bike with stunning finale over beachy head. Great support running up & down the seafront, but by god the run was hard…no shade, the sun was relentless!
Well done, organisers, volunteers & officials👍
the girl who came 3rd overall had the fastest marathon time of the day and was flying when she came in!
but also take a look at the bike times - 2nd fastest overall bike time (fastest had a DNF later) was female - Emma Cockcroft, a top biker who was semi-pro GB rider. one guy said she passed him on the bike like “he was standing still”. she was 2nd into T2 (behind the overall winner) and we had to check her computer as we thought she might have cut the course short. distance was bang on which is a lesson learnt for us as TOs - don’t assume that females can’t bike quick!!
Run course is fast, but some incredible runs in that heat!
good feedback - organisers will be pleased!
Sounds a great event.
As a physiology rule of thumb little females are least affected by the heat IIRR.
Lionel …
Not sure we’re to put this but Doka has been in an accident … a bad one I think, if this is in another thread I apologise.
Hope he recovers well, and ride safe everyone.
He’s posted it in the rant thread
It’s in the Rant thread
I never go on there … it makes me …. Rant !
Thanks fellas
Not sure there was any where beter for this. Lisa Norden is racing IM Lake Placid this weekend. I really rate her having watched loads of ITU on their free subscription last year, she was a consistently very good performer, solid across all 3 disciplines. Hope she racees well. She was racing pro-cycling which can’t hane done her any harm.
I did say I was busy didn’t I. Busy winning my AG at Castle Howard sprint.
Well done, how was the swim, the water was disgusting a few years ago.
Nice one @pacha 
Hell to the yeah! 
Yep, still murky and stinks
Well done!
A cheeky win, eh? Well done @pacha .
Nice result, congrats @pacha
How did you get on @jeffb? I think I spotted you at the start but I was running late and faffing about. I’d forgotten to bring a pump with me but managed to borrow one. I think I saw you on the bike course as well, 284? Otherwise I said hello Jeff to a random! Waves out were tough. I gave up and just swam breastroke
