I mean 4.06 is ficken rapid for an amateur (and for some pros too)
Yeah that’s the lad. Don’t know him personally, but he trains with an old school friend of mine. Solicitor as well. Some people are just gifted! Ha ha
Was the bike fully self sufficient?
What did you carry?
Yes. But as mentioned, there is an emergency aid station if you need water. But you have to stop, rack your bike, sanitise, help yourself from a table, then go back to your bike and remount.
I carried more than I needed, but it’s a flat course so no penalty. I ejected one rear bottle on the first lap as well. I only got through about 600ml of PH1500 and 400ml of Maurten.
Thanks. Good point with the course being flat
That emergency aid station sounds a complete faff!
At some of the tri’s i’ve marshalled at, that would be a helpful approach for some racers, regardless of the virus…

maybe so but only way it’s allowed under the COVID regs
Yeah, I get that and its good they are offering it and Im sure its useful for some but I’d rather try & carry an extra bottle
Does that 4:26 (and his 4:06) include transitions?
No. The official results neutralised transition. I did about 4:29:30 including transitions.

Wow, that’s some fast transitioning 
Overall time also not too shabby

I genuinely don’t know what people do in transition. I actually took a “long time” in this one, as I knew it was neutralised. I didn’t bother starting to strip my wetsuit off until I was at my bike.
superb racing mate. Now weymouth is cancelled,i think your race report has sold this event to me for 20th september.

Yeah, it appears so. I even thought about racing again in Sept yesterday, but it’s showing as closed. I got lucky with my Classic spot - Graeme allows transfers and I got the spot off an injured clubmate
