I am sat in the shading thinking what the hell am I doing as my race is scheduled for 1:45 today and it is predicted to be 33°. I don’t even get to have a splash in the river either.

Where is it?
And what is it?
I’m just sat in my garage cooling down after an off road jog. Debating doing the garden. Or just collapsing in it, instead

Good luck
Hot ?!?
Yeah it’s toasty.
Temps are getting close - I’d love a non wetsuit race 
(not that I’ve got a swimskin with me).
It’s a beast of a run from swim exit to T1 too

Non wetsuit ?!!??
You’re a fish though !
Be tracking
Don’t do what I did last year… run shoes in the white bag swim exit! When I got out the swim I changed my mind and carried them to T1 
Got a few comments “why are you carrying your shoes” but ran past a lot of people bare foot… it was okay.m with my hobbit feet.
Good look luck its a nice course imo. Wish I was there (if I had any fitness)

Despite visiting Wales regularly I’ve never been to Swansea - the dock area all around the race is pretty nice, enjoying it so far.

Upton upon Severn. The sprint du is the last of the world qualifiers. 90 mins to go and I am seriously thinking of running in my bucket hat

I survived the race finished 5th overall and 1st in the 50-59 AG. 1-4 were in the 20-29 AG. Booked a double header for Abu Dhabi for 2026.
I don’t have the run speed in the heat so gave up a few mins but took it all back on the bike. Transitions were slow as I decanted a litre of water over me each time so I could try and regulate my body temp. Racing in 34° with zero shade.

Well done, you might need to get used to the heat if you go there though! Unlikely in Scotland though 
See if a local uni has a heat chamber?

I think Heriot Watt has one, after today I think I need more time to acclimate
