Leap year next year, so it’ll be the 18th or 25th I think.

Based on previous timings, I would guess the 25th :man_shrugging:

You didn’t see a fellow Brit, Rhodri, in the finishers tent by any chance? Finished within a few minutes of you.

Actually, yes I did chat very briefly to “rod” and his partner at the finish

I guess 1 more with this one, and then you’ll need to get another partner?

Could be an exponential series where the nth term= 2^n, in which case there’s 2 more races in hand? :wink:

Anyway well done guys. Watched this with mixed emotions as my name was finally on the start list, having wanted to do this race for about 20 years. But we scuppered things by moving to a galaxy far far away & it all got too complicated.

As race day approached I wondered if ducking out was the right decision. But on race day, tuned in on the tracker and felt at peace with not being there. Doing it was a dream from another time, doubt I’ll enter another IM now.

Hope they used my £600 to buy some nice stuff for the pasta party lol.
