Gah. I thought he’d put sandbags somewhere.
Only some Fossies innit.

@fruit_thief - To be fair. Both positions look fine to me, so go with the one you enjoy the most. As you’ll probably perform better on that.
Why not have two TT bikes :man_shrugging:t4::sunglasses:
I’ve got umpteen pairs of shoes.

You look marginally more aero & comfortable on the P2, but this is not my area of expertise.

OK, it’s taken me 2.5 beers to have the clarity of thought that my previously stated targets are a total load of optimistic bs! :joy:

My training really hasn’t stacked up in the last 2 months to be backing wild claims like that.

But…

Im gonna go hard and enjoy myself. I think I’ve got more in the jug of potential, that needs a few stars to align to realise - the usual culprits: time, family, work etc.

I’ll have a rethink of some silver and gold targets.

I will do it for you:
32/2:30/1:22 +4 for transitions = 4:28.

I deffo can’t swim that fast! :joy:

My prediction then.

45 * / 3:00 * / 2:15 * + 15 for transitions = 6:15

  • shark attack
  • double puncture
  • tripped dismounting of the bike and broken toe.

@jeffb wrong person to get worried. I am a total wildlife nerd. I would love to swim (naturally) with sharks.

Went looking for scorpions and snakes in Africa and Oz. Looked for grizzlies in Cali, sharks in Borneo etc etc. I love it. :heart_eyes:

And still faster than my first HIM :sob:

Although @joex can attest to how hard Hever Castle summer 2018 was.

On the other hand, if anyone is looking for the sandbags this morning, they were last seen near Watford with @Jgav :grinning:

This as part of 17km run it looks like?

Forgot to start the watch. That’s as good as it gets I’m afraid, was ready to cough up a lung at the end
