Erm, so I’ve just entered another race!
Hung around and got the last slot of 6 for St George
Felt a bit sorry for another guy, they asked for anyone in the top 30 and 2 of us went up, he’d finished 29th!
I thought I’d come back in the off chance thinking a lot beyond the top 10 would have gone home. Think there was only about 1 of the top 10 accepted.
Sadly it means my retirement has been put back another month or two

Hi. Can anyone help with the loan of a bike? I’m visiting from Adelaide and doing the super sprint at Dorney on 7th May. Don’t want to drag my bike across the World for a 20km ride. Ideally a 56cm and between the venue and Winchester. You’d get a triathlon contact in South Australia in return!

Chilly Compared to the racing so far this year. Stiff breeze and according to BBC weather 8 degrees so it was arm warmers and gloves for me, 5Km in and I was regretting that decision until I was on the bike.

telehone call for @FatPom - can you help a fellow Aussie??
I probably can if said Aussie wants to ride a Focus Paralane with boat anchor wheels?
@NickBrigham , happy to help if I can, even a crow eater.

Doh, yeah I’d forgotten you went for 2023. I presume you are taking your own bike? I was going to hire one but think he’s sold out.
I’ll have a ponder.
At least 4 of us going.

@jeffb , you absolute hero. Loved keeping. Up with you on the app, and stoked about your postponed retirement.
@leahnp , also brilliant racing. Serious envy on your Strava splits.
Kudos both!

It’s great news though, means we get pension tips on the over 50s thread for a while longer

Haha - thanks mate. I’ll PM you.
Ah - I can’t see how to PM you. Any chance we can start a conversation if you find me on FB messenger please mate.
I’m not on FB. I’ll need to know a bit more detail before I just lob my bike at anyone. It would also be good if you engage in the forum here, rather than just use it to borrow a bike.
Ha. No worries mate I quite understand. I’ve just found the forum and will contribute a bit. Don’t expect anything for nothing at all.
No probs. One of our members here is currently in SA, making a bit of a ‘noise’ on the scene. (bloody pommies ).
I think when you have a few posts you can PM me and we can work out the details.
State middle distance champs this weekend,
Biggest noise I’m making is wingeing about a hip flexor tendinopathy.
But the longer term outlook is looking good with rehab
