Ironman UK 2019

Will drive it Saturday, and I assume its fine being main roads, but checking theres nothing to be really aware of on the bike between Pennington and loop?

On another note … is there no pro field in IMUK this year?

It’s not appearing on Thorsten’s TriRating site.

No, it’s AG only this year

I do like racing in the UK, but, it’s Bolton!

Registration was empty....

Loads of over priced stuff

£11:50 for a mug…
Who actually buys them …?

Not surprised empty this early in the week especially with no briefing today. Tomorrow will be bit busier but early briefing rules out lots at work.

Does our swim stuff get transported to Bolton from T1? Can’t find anything in guide.

Wetsuit goes in bike bag after bike stuff comes out…?!
Never done the bag thing before
Bit strange …!

Yeah assume goes into the T1 bag, just want to make sure we don’t need to go back to Pennington to collect!

Registered with a guy who did it last year, everything ends up in Queens park
Ended up on a TT bike with proper brakes (34x30) should see me spinning up those long drags, at least on the first lap.

Yes. And the equivalent in T2 with bike stuff going in the red bag.

The bag system confused me on my very first 70.3, but it’s actually all very logical.

Just packing the bags now …!

Comments are, in the main, for the race.
And mocking her :rofl:

It is a bit of a non story, really, but you can’t expect all locals to be over the moon. Towns that embrace these races (Tenby, Roth & Hilpoltstein, etc.) can do really well out of the race, but even there you get frustrated locals (recall that 2 years ago someone poured oil on a tight bend at Wales).

Humans, eh!?!?

looks like another bike course for 2020

Fk her, her cafe and her son who I went to school with. The type of people that take pot shots at cyclists while they are driving.

I’m registered, was racked and back home today by 11am.

There is a mini party at the 90degree left hander coming into Ainsworth. Camper van and a fair few people. That’s my lot.

My years training so far:
6 swims - 2hr 9min
997 miles on the bike
271 miles run.

Time training since the 113 - 2 hours.

Gonna set out near the back and plod my way round. Actually quite looking forward to a very long day out.
I deserve nothing and expect nothing. I’ll high5 some kids and try to have a laugh.

Good luck everyone.
