Go @Paul at least you won’t be hungry 
Edit: in fairness this is exactly what I would do

Haha thanks! I am not ashamed of my little bags of treats 
I was told early on that a common big mistake 14-16hour plodders make is to still approach fuelling like a sub-10er would (encouraged by all the articles that are written by/for people in the upper Age Grouper pace I suppose) and just extrapolate it up, so say just taking 6 more gels for 2 more hours on the bike and thinking that’ll do.
Good luck to anyone going round Kalmar/Copenhagen (or both?!?!) this weekend. I’m in for Tallinn, so another week to go. Just being prepared because I’m now anxious as hell.

You do you @Paul
On my first IM I’d previously heard of someone having to retire on the bike because of a split tyre, so - & I shit you not - carried a spare tire because that was one less thing that was going to stop me.
All the best

Apologies, I thought you were doing Copenhagen, far too organised for a race that’s at least another week?

Do you have a second home in Copenhagen?

I think @Paul is more organised than me. I’ve just got kit strewn everywhere in the back of the van at the moment

I am 1816 tomorrow at IM CPH
Mrs A said yesterday, “Shall we have a quick look around the shops?”. F*ck me, I walked far more than I should have. My legs feel battered. She wasn’t happy when I said I won’t go to see the Little Mermaid in the evening (they did). They’re going to.do.stuff today without me. I will take my bike and bags in shortly and have a short swim. Then it will be back to apartment and sleep.
No aspirations for time tomorrow, just get around without a drama and enjoy it.

Can’t remember bob’s name! Yes, checked for Robert’s but none jump out as the same from the half marathon

4 hours in.
I know @Bob from IM Wales, but don’t want to dox him….. however, I think I can safely say his swim is a good bit faster today & at this point his estimated bike is a whole shit load faster .
I think he’s having a happier day.
