They can’t be the original ones he found in a skip years ago, can they?
Has he found someone that’s actually selling them new???

Holy moly!
Isn’t that the total elapsed time so a bike split of 7h29?

Used my first spare tub on the rear at 22km.
Front wheel Latex sealant started pissing everywhere at about 78km, luckily it worked and half a CO2 fixed it.
Front Puncture again at about 130km, in the town centre, made it to the Oompa Loompas and fixed it.
20km later and it goes. Sealant canister didn’t work. Massive gash.
I also thought I needed to pass wind after the swim, but had to take a massive dump 
The rain was biblical - everyone in the broom wagon was hypothermic.
I actually saw two people come off, luckily someone else stopped and I went on ahead to get Marshall’s.

Before the swim, they played THUNDERSTRUCK…then announced 100 Kona slots.
I cried.
It was emotional.
Swim was easyAF, super controlled. Felt ace.
I biked at 227W NP.
Be interesting to see my moving time.
Very quick with no oncoming traffic and road closures.
I am very very pissed off

Are you on the run course now?
No.
It just picked up my timing chip.
I’m a DNF. I got picked up at 140km by the sweeper van.

Hard luck @Poet, not much to say…sounds bad. Did you have to get recovered or did you make it back to T2?
EDIT: Ah I just read your reply. Bugger.

Very sorry to hear Poet, that’s some awful luck. Make sure you have you planned triple burger finisher meal because you’ve still earned it after that!

Gutted to hear that. Such a shame
Horrible luck Poet, at least when I had my many p******** in Switzerland I was on clinchers so easy to get spares.
It’s early but any thoughts on a race you can pick up this season?
