Cotswold Classic / 113

Having a bit of FOMO here!! It’s ~250 miles each way though so would need to be there a few days to justify it, and then in Holland about 4 weeks later, followed by UTMB!

** all assumes I actually get rid of this injury and train a bit :roll_eyes:

@jeffb I didn’t even look how far away it was.
And I also can’t really run right now. Biking also hurts… And my shoulder always hurts swimming.
But I’ll worry about that next year :rofl:

Mentioned it to Mrs GB last week and she seemed pretty unconcerned by it.

Severley tempted for a bit of a TT mashup. But also wondering whether i should go find another race, as i’ve done this twice now. But i do like it. Good mix of not too big, not too small. Pretty close. Decent enough course (if i go the right way) and maybe reset expectations on how slow the run course is.

You’ve done it twice, but weren’t they different bike courses?

:grin:

For 2 different reasons, yes! haha
And only one swim!

This is very, very true!

Cmon - get involved :hugs:

Competitor email came out today. I assume it has to be a TriTalk mass start?!

[quote]For the last couple of year’s, we moved away from several mass starts for each eave to a rolling start format.
This was very popular with the majority, but there still was a minority that wanted to do a mass start so they could tell exactly who they were racing against, and not wonder if the person in front of them on the run course was actually 5 mins behind them etc.
In order to try and cater for both sides of the argument, what we’re going to trial in June is as follows :
Wave 1 - Mass start with limited numbers
Waves 2 Onwards will be rolling starts whereby you get a 10minute window in which you can start, and your start time will be at the point in which you cross the timing mat into the lake.[/quote]

I’ve both entered and I’ve done some training but likely to still be a very long way back in the standings
