Recovered by the wagon.
The not moving was me waiting in the biblical rain for a pick up.
But they had more needing people to pick up (hypothermic, accidents)
I’d have finished if I’d have got back to T2 on my own, done an Outlaw mara split 
(1:27 first half, 1:58 second 
)
I have poured my heart and soul (not to mention cash) into this race.
To say I’m very very upset is an understatement.
I kept up with Tim Don on the Winchester Way hill as he lapped me
Sam Laidlow went past me like a rocket ship.
Elliot Smales gave me a thumps up as I gave him a time check

Oh bugger, 4 punctures is incredible bad luck.

Terrible luck. On the bright side you’ve not destroyed yourself running the marathon so if you can muster the motivation you’ve got a great race in you yet this season. Still 4 punctures sucks

Cheers folks - yeah, I’ll be entering something tomorrow. Maybe something fast and Spanish where people may or may not draft to a 9:3x

Gutted, there are no words. Sport can be so cruel. Hope you can find something later in the year…
Tough luck Poet. Sounds like a difficult ride in that rain. Hopefully not too cold now

Bloody great event!!!
Support was OFF THE CHAIN 
I biked to my power and swam to my plan.
T1 went to plan.
Nutrition went to plan.
@funkster - That wasn’t aimed at you 
I had an old training partner do it - he couldn’t SBR as quick as me, but somehow did a 9:39 
Not that I’m bitter
