really hope this not the last year
looking back 2 weeks out was when the nerves really kicked in i am really glad i did the race in its prime & no i have not got my rose tinted glasses on , every year it was different and every year we all said it was the toughest year and i always felt broken at some point during the day.
But i can still remember the mass start the helicopter hovering over head really low the strong smell of fuel from the support boats and getting to the first bouy and proper sxxting myself with the mass of people trying to get round and switching to breast stroke till i calmed down,. remember the support out and about and the average joe bloggs cheering you along the strip as shuffled along as sunset approched

Apparently LCB is racing but I think is sponsored by CLS?
Menās field is very strong with Laudlaw, Lange, Ditlev and a few others.
Good job fruity isnāt there this year to put them back in their box

Yes, I think LCB has some sort of a sponsorship deal with CLS. Maybe just free accommodation and use of the facilities for training?
I saw her there a few times during race week doing press etc even when she wasnāt racing herself

She has put out a few YouTube vids training from CLS. Remember one where she was doing a 16km run at race pace and popped into a shop halfway round to buy a drink, absolutely minging and dripping with sweat. Couldnāt decide if the shopkeeper was smiling or grimacing.
