2022 races

Erm, so I’ve just entered another race!

Hung around and got the last slot of 6 for St George :grin:

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 :joy:

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? :smile:

@NickBrigham, happy to help if I can, even a crow eater. :wink:

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 :grinning:

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 :grin: ).

I think when you have a few posts you can PM me and we can work out the details. :+1:

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 :muscle:
