No way!!!
That must be his first ever accidentā¦
ā¦it looks pretty bloody bad 
Sorry to hear about the accident, hope heās ok. I heard a few people saying someone had gone done and the ambulance was on the scene.
Not sure whether to post this as Iām like a sloth compared to most on here butā¦after blowing up on the run in spectacular fashion I dragged myself around in 12.25. 11/40 in the 50-54 AG.
I had 110.9 on the bike and 40.1 on the run. Mind you the swim was long (and cold) and the wind was a bas***d so swings and roundabouts. Itās a great event and location, only issue for me is the open roads being quite difficult at times, itās an added stress but then you get what you pay for. I had to dead stop about six times which is a pain.
Organisation and support is second to none, couldnāt fault it. Good weekend all in all.

Very welcome post regardless, but also I wouldnāt say 12:25 was sloth! Hearing nothing but good things about value of Lakesman

Good job! Definitely wouldnāt describe that as sloth-like!
I agree with your sentiments about the swim and bike. Coming back into Keswick the traffic was stacked up which meant some waiting in queues. My other gripe was the bag storage and transition tentā¦bit too cramped. Fairly minor and would still highly recommend the event.
After 6pm the weather really turned for the worse and i saw the last finisher came in after 22:30 with marshals in supportā¦ thatās dedication!

In case anyone is tempted, entry for next year is open and entry is frozen at this yearās price until 21/06 (Ā£300)
Ā£300
And this is one of the less expensive events?
First Outlaw was Ā£195.
Forestman 2009 was Ā£175.
With inflation, thatās about Ā£232.
Whereās the other Ā£68 come from???

Hope TC is alright, any news?
Didnāt he fall of his bike a few winters ago and broke his pelvis or something, and still turned up at London Marathon!

To quote the Facebook postā¦he has a nasty head injury, had a CT scan and was clear of serious problems and has been told not to compete until full cardiology exam.
Medical team reported he was desperate to get back on his bike

See his comment that his face looks worse now than it does in the photos 
Ah, I thought it was around Ā£250, but still not many cheaper but options. This weekends inaugral Yorkshireman was around that I think when opened (Ā£290 to enter now last minute), so interested to see how that goes. Freebird normally do good events.

I think thereās only about 80 entries for the Yorkshireman full, Iām doing the half, will be interesting to see if they run it again next year.
Think thereās about 500 for the half.

They did announce it quite late, I imagine lots of people had season plans already especially around now. Hope it goes well and they can try for a second year before judging if viable.
