Must admit I had Laidlow down as all mouth and no trousers but that was some race yesterday, very impressive

With a 5 min penalty. He won in 2018 with 7:52:39 so arguably this was an equal performance in similar conditions. But 10th.

Skipper 12mins faster

Tim OD same time as 2018

Wurf 10mins faster

And Skipper - a 7:54 with a 2:45 run would usually have you vying for the win. Not this year!

… paled into insignificance given the huge benefit the drafting gave him during the bike leg :+1:t3:

I too thought Laidlow would blow on the run - what a performance from him - truly humble with Mike Reilly after the race too

Amazing considering what he has been through health-wise. Pretty sure I’d have taken up fishing at that point.

Were conditions more favourable than Thursday?

Some absolutely rapid AG times being posted too

And he downed three pints of (non-alcoholic) beer on the podium, showing the Norwegians how it’s done :muscle::joy:.

Congratulations to @SidSnot with a 10:30, looks like the back end of the run was tough! :hot_face:
