Let’s hope he’s sorted now

Roads are mostly dry as they start the fast bit back to Bolton

Lokking at tracker everyone swam slower than expected.

Some by 10-15 mins

No, but the link posted in the alternate thread worked :+1:

Press tracking and select normal and it should appear?

Is it 2 loops? Could be congestion?

Think it’s 3.

The chap I was also tracking has got out the water in 2:21. :slightly_frowning_face:

Seems odd if 1:06 for Poet is 6th fastest swim in one of the biggest AGs.

Did he make the cut off?

Not sure. I don’t know how strict they would be. He’s a good cyclist so he’d probably be able to stay ahead of the cutoffs on the bike if he’s allowed through.

I know a lot of people doing this race
Apart from one there all 5-15 mins slower.

Slow day ?! Not sure that applys to the swim?!

He’s been in transition for 30 mins so either something’s happened or he’s been DQ. :slightly_frowning_face:

Poet back in the game it seems 25kph to 51km, which looks like a slower section…

Go poet! :crossed_fingers::muscle::+1:

Good to hear

Yeah, that looks like expected speed, so could well have been a puncture or mechanical, or the grapes.

Sid through 74km in 4th (AG) place :clap::+1:

Yeah, that split is about the same ballpark as Sid and my club mate. A definite issue in the first section. He’s on tubs right? That’s probably a concern if he’s already used his spare

Pretty certain he was packing a spare in his special needs bag.

And with the lapped format he’ll have access to that 3 times?
