IronMan UK Bolton 2022 - July 3rd

Me sending them

I’ve had two “ good luck tomorrows “ …!

Ive been asked “are you going to go to the townhall and get your free bag”. NO.

It’s a great race but other priorities at the moment.

Good luck @Adam and @Toyota_Crown hope the weather is benign and you have good races.

It’s the riptide you need to be careful of.

2017 sounds right as I was there that year.

There was a wince inducing video of the start of people jumping off the pontoon straight onto the rocks and ending their race

I was volunteering that year and everyone was told not to jump in off the side but some ignored it. Some people looked like they’d done some serious damage. :flushed:

Wilf had a 59min swim, he’s hoping for 9:20 using BBS, etc.

Looks like it didn’t register his chip on the first swim exit!

Unless he’s really taken 66mins for 1.9km???

His T1 hasn’t registered either.
Could be a wonky day for tracking @Adam if so :sob:

Tracker showing him as 4th AG out of T1 :exploding_head:
@adam was 68th overall out of T1 :medal_sports:

Look at the Top 10AG swim times.
Only two people under an hour :scream::open_mouth:

OR…looking at T1 times…the swim timing mat has failed on the Aussie exit and only registered a few people having a full swim :joy::joy::joy:

Erm…this is mainly 20km of a slight uphill at 1-2% from the lake to the roundabout outside of Bolton, then a bit down Chorley New Road.
There’s little to no wind here this morning, but it is damp.

48th overall.
2nd in AG :open_mouth::scream:

Mate on course at 42km says roads are damp but other than that good conditions, hardly any wind
