Jeez, any thoughts about just leaving it until you’re a lot older before going for Kona qualification go right out the window - there’s tonnes of 60+ blokes in there :open_mouth:

1138 for me.

17 pages of withdrawals / deferrals 😮‍💨
(It was 55 pages, now 38)

Is that Matthew Evans from here @Mr-me ???
Kept that one quiet…

Stacked in M35-39.
I’m just gonna focus on getting my entry fee back in Maurten gels instead :sob::sob::sob:

you’ll only need to grab about 5 then!!

They’re probably bringing all the old, failed QS batches! :rofl:

Nah not this time (although I am feeling rather envious). The other triathlete Matthew Evans might be the Matthew Evans who was one of the guys instrumental in setting up IM Wales -I think he’s still involved in the Long Course Weekend

F’ing good.

I’ve just cried my way round 161km in the pouring rain, frozen to the core, then somehow managed to put my running kit on and shuffle 5km before shivering away to nothing.

We’ve all done it though! For the sake of 5km, I’d just run in my cycling kit.

Is that your last long ride?

YUP!!!

Got a 2km swim, drive up to do two loops of Bolton and a 16km off the back of that on Monday (I’ve not seen just how hilly it (the run course) is yet…)

Then hit up Merlin Cycles :money_mouth_face::money_bag::money_with_wings:

Well…it’s my daughters birthday and Fathers Day this weekend, as well as a BBQ, so I’ve shifted out my weekend session to Monday (I did this weeks ago…)

Rest day tomorrow.
I’ve got eight beers for tonight :rofl::roll_eyes:

Is the course in the area that Sturgeon’s making illegal to visit? And are there any Scot’s who might stop @Poet getting his kona place that we should shop to the rozzers to stop them racing?
