Ha, fook me, what do I have to do to get a race this year that isn’t weather affected 
bloody headwind on the bridge was relentless and the drag from the tunnel to the towers was longer than I thought 
Kind of enjoyed it though and not too disappointed with 1:37 tbh, only 3 men broke 71 minutes which is pretty slow for a race with 40k athletes.
I was wrecked at the top of the bridge but the descent helped a bit, then there were 2 false finish gantries I sprinted for the first thinking I was going to do 1:35 only to realise it was either a footbridge or advertisement gantry could barely run after that
Good day out and if it was ran in reverse I definitely think it would have been a lot quicker.

Was it one way , ie into a headwind the whole way? That sounds grim!
Any echelons and run-drafting?

There were quite a few walking from 12k, I was slowing but hanging on.
I think quite a few of the sub 90 pacers didn’t make it. Talking to a lad on the train back who’d squeaked a 1:24 and said there pacers were struggling but just about made up enough time on the descent and a fast last 2k

Yeah, if it was the other way I reckon possibly 5 minutes faster!
It was pretty splintered, either faster than me or quite a bit slower so very difficult to sit behind people.

Lac des Sapins Tri for me today, 1500m, 48km/800m & a trail 10km/160m
Chaotic start with 500+ people starting from a narrow beach & first 90° turn after 100mtrs. Just tried to keep body intact & make sure my head didn’t fall off.
67th overall & 3rd in Cat.
Run to bike was long & a bit ouchy along gravel paths & park grass. Gave feet a wipe, put Tri shoes on to keep feet grit free & ran to mount line.
Not done a lot of cycling so happy to cap effort around 220W.
Lumpy & well marshalled but not closed & some surfaces better than others.
Heavens opened for last 20km of descent & I took it much more conservatively than Pierre, Jean-Claude et al 
I’m now 99th overall & remarkably still 3rd in Cat.
Run to T2 was more grit & grass so kept shoes on.
The run was much more technical than I was expecting & those ASICS Fujispeed 2 that @buzz posted up earlier in the year were ideal, as they have also been for my SwimRuns . Anyway, it was 90% off-road with lots of cambers, roots & quite the mud-fest. Loved it, worked into first km, then started picking people off & kept shape until the end.
Finished 73rd overall & ran myself into first in Cat 
None of you medal tat here, honey & green tea
