2026 Races

Still a winner.

I would probably have grabbed the watch and carried on swimming with fists drill. Not sure if that would have been a good option with my (lack of) technique.

Oh boy. The water better cool a bit this week otherwise there will be a lot of panicking women on Sunday when they have to swim without a wetsuit.

ETA: on the other hand - if it doesn’t cool, maybe I should enter the aqua bike after all :face_with_hand_over_mouth:

I lost my Fenix 5 in the Waldsee at IM Frankfurt three years ago that way. Couldnt grab it in time so it’s probably still in there.

Well done!

Shameless plug but the Steelman still has entries, cheap and cheerful, shortest transitions anywhere!

Mostly quiet roads.

One more week easy then you can start training! :joy:

If you’ve not been there before there’s an amazing olive tree by a church in the backstreets. Have a look around before the race. And check out some red wine chorizo combos.

Date ?

1st august if that’s a Saturday?

It’s also a 10am start which makes it even better!

70.3?

No other options distance wise ?

Yes, 70.3, shorter races have been unless you do the aquabike.

@jeffb I’ve got a place on Sunday so will see you there.

Not done an Olympic distance for about 8 years I think, will be in Leicester all day Saturday dressed as a First Order Snowtrooper and will have a bit of Frankfurt fatigue in the legs…just getting the excuses in now

Great, I’ll look out for the bike lapping me!

My excuses are, I’m supposed to be doing a 165k audax around York on Saturday before driving down, although there is a 105k that I might do instead.

I also seem to have some kind of infection or bite on my face, I’m hoping it will go down.
