-10 what? Degrees, km, kg, minutes…
I did the same course they had been running since it’s inception as Quelle Ironman Europe. Not sure when the changes were made; mid 2010s?
Nah, we met at IMCH the year before. Or possibly Bala that year. I do remember you in your lovely motorhome and MrsF and I (and a few other pirates) in our tents.

C’mon. You’re being disingenuous there 
They’ve shortened the course 
3.5km swim. 175km bike. 41km run.
That’s why it is fast

Brilliant - well done
Did it in 2010 when Christie Wellington broke the world record and she gave me my medal at the end of my race

I know they changed it, but it was after I did it. You saw my comment about it & the run etc further up no? If it had been that short when I did it, I would have defo sailed under 10h. It was won in 8:09 year I did it.

I seem to remember the run was about 4mi short in Bolton one year because of a ‘cone error’. Did you get that far? 
What about the year the bike was 90mi.
The downside of this site is we remember everything.

Nah. I didnt
Just a 9.75km 10km to my name. I’m also pretty sure my 1:20 half marathon was a touch short, too, but shush.
Yeah, saw the run comment. Roth just seems too fast to be believable for me.

I know what you mean, but look at Kona times in the last 10 years! All my best IM times pre-date modern GPS watches; so would have been interested to see what they came out as - although they’re not exactly that accurate.
