How are you setting the FTP on your Garmin? (given you mentioned it kept changing back or something) The new ones don’t like it if you set it on the device. You need to set it on the app, make sure you click somewhere else on the page, and then press save. Exit that page and then go back to it to check the app has correctly saved it, and then it’s normally fine.
It is not entirely straightforward I will admit. Whenever I change mine, I go through a trial and error process to get it to work!
My 935 wants to update my FTP after every hard effort over 20 mins i.e. Zwift races.
In some ways, you could argue that your best 20 min power in an all-out race is also a metric you could use…as FTP is in reality a moveable beast.
I turned off the Garmin feature of trying to automatically update FTP
Haven’t worked out how to do that
In terms of setting FTP, I set it manually in device, then set it in Garmin Connect, then saved, then sync device
Don’t set on the device. It does nothing, and just reverts back to what was on the app almost immediately. For me, I just have to update it once on the app, properly and so it actually registers, on either the 920 or Edge 520 profile, and then it will automatically apply the same update to both.
On the (android) app …
Then, once you resync, it will update that FTP value across all relevant Garmin devices.
That’s how it works for me anyway (this should probably be in the Garmin section!)
Thanks, my Garmin App did update properly, so all aligned (for now)
The Taupo thing must have been a mistake. Now gone from the website (the statement of 100 slots for Nice is now just repeated twice…they’ve just overwritten what was there for Taupo with the Nice info again).
Main concern having walked part of the run course this afternoon is whether to give the vapors a bash or not. A lot of gravel paths, and reasonable stretches of quite uneven cobbles. Yet there’s long flat road sections too for much of the lap. Decisions decisions.
Conditions look a bit better here than in Cork 
After having a gentle paddle, and making himself a cuppa in T1, @Matthew_Spooner is absolutely motoring on the bike 
Looks like he’ll pass @stenard around 66km at this rate.
@stenard seems to be having a decent swim, good T1 and is pacing the bike well 
@stenard is now tearing the run course a new one. What shoes does he have on ?
Great T2’s by both of them.
@Matthew_Spooner had a storming bike and is now bringing it home on the run. Think he has two AG places to make up.
Great racing chaps!!!
Been fun tracking you this morning.
Was there a massive hill in the run over the last 4km?
Life’s a breeze when you don’t have an Ironman to train for eh
Waiting to see how far it rolls down… fingers crossed. Insane times today.
Whatever happens really happy with 4:28… I thought that had over-bikes, but managed another run PB on a full length course. Happier with my swim than St P, still my weakest, but I swam 1:44m/100m which is OK
Well done you two! Very impressive.
That bike was IMPRESSIVE 
Looks 300-730m short to me 
(People who Strava have tagged as having Run it with you)
The bloke who won M45 won Edinburgh 70.3 last year and might have taken a slot there, can’t completely remember as it did roll. He was also first age grouper overall!
Think he was an ex pro rower.
Good luck with the roll-down, at least you are in one of the big groups, fast times though, excellent show from TTowel as well, second in M45.
Jeff
I got the last slot for Nice; Awsome day, Sub 4:30 and NQ
Finally I am not just talking about it
Excellent news Matt 
Was TTowel in Elsinore? The guy who was second in M45 was B****y quick
Yes, fairly certain it was Hywel on the results.
Jeff
It was Hywel Davies who was second, also took the slot for Nice - 4h5m deserves serious respect, faster than Holly Lawrence and half the pro men
I was only 2 mins slower on the bike, but he blitzed the run and swim
