An amazing sounding race and great write up @Doonhamer

What a sight that must have been. Fire engine and flares to show the way in a dark cold lake

Sounds like you did yourself proud :clap:t2:

I hope the flashing lights didn’t obscure Venus in the sky and ruin your sighting.

Great report.

Cheers Guys, it was an incredible event. I’d recommend it.

You’re all quite right that my wife is an absolute saint. That pontoon was exciting enough to cross during the day never mind never mind trying to take on a never ending parade of pumped up triafleeeets.

A couple more shots of the swim start so @Adam knows what to expect :grin:

They normally put out a wee video of the event that captures the vibe pretty well. Thatcshould be coming out in a week or two.

I have entered a local sprint tri on Sunday

Looks about as grassroots as they come.

400m/22km/5km

Planning to reccy the route on Saturday, it’s a bit lumpy and the run is off road.

Question, will I look like a spanner if I pitch up on P2 with disc wheel cover? I reckon >50% of the field will be novices on MTBs

Our local Tri is pitched as “novice”.
400/15.5k/5k
I think 48 mins is now needed to get close to winning it 🤷

Edit 46 mins :sob:

I assumed you mean Erewash?
It was for the first few years, then all of TFN rocked up and now the fast boys still do it.

Who was the last Winner?
