Ironman UK 2021

40 slots total, distribution to be determined as far as I can tell.

Think that was a post I saw in Fbook

Only 40 slots in total, so max of 4-5 in the big AGs I’d say

Chap i was following now officially DNF after the swim. He was a full 20 mins slower in the second half. Was it a 2 lapper? Gutted for him. Pretty certain he wasn’t the type of guy who’d be flirting with cutoff normally.

First MPROs out on the run…Sam Laidlow 4:51 bike :clap: :clap: :clap:

EDIT: Oops not quite that fast I think that was the 174km time :rofl: 4:55 to T2

Raining heavily in Preston and cloudburst has just passed over. Hopefully no one came off.

Can’t imagine it’s much fun in this!

Tony Cullen M45-49 looks to be dominating the dojo, 20 minutes ahead of 2nd place

@sidsnot was 4th through 127km but looks like someone has snooked in front at 152, hope he can keep it going

Phew, Sid has come through! But clearly had an issue, lost 20mins or so, but still in 5th!

It’s drying up now
It pussed down, I’m soaking !!
No thunderstorms at least

I’m in South manchester just back from a Cheshire ride and the rain was and still is biblical here. Propper bouncing down with lots of flooded roads. Bolton motorway web cams showing a lot of spray so it must be wet there. Great in 2019 but really wouldn’t fancy that bike course in the wet. Read about possible issues, so hopefully all ok and going strong and no more issues for the rest of the day.

Ah, bugger. Hope I didn’t jinx him by saying he had a comfortable gap to 6th. Guessing in the conditions being talked about, punctures are probably more likely

There a lot slower through this corner now.

Someone is Sid’s AG has clearly cut the course. He’s apparently done the last 46km in 32mins

Chap leading M45 has a huge margin.

Two hitters from M35 way out ahead also

Skipper up to 3rd about 11 mins down on Sam.

@stenard Yeah I saw someone registered 85kph for that section :joy: and gained 37 places

Naughty naughty.

How’s that possible? I thought it was a huge lap. Is there a small out and back?

Very weird. He’s now showing as having done 10k on the run?! And no T2?!
