Seems bonkers I know. Been commuting into town for years, just gets longer each time we move to a bigger house!
Car is a massive no with the traffic and a train/tube combo will be grim in this heat. Just have to leave your ego and watts at home and roll in and out. I will be just shy of 500km for the week though
I’m the guy who can’t get his wetsuit off. Drops helmet etc… Weymouth last year I ran with a gel in my shoe - forgot to take the bugger out. Felt awful until it popped and and made a massive mess inside my shoe
Although I think there will be helpers to rip wetsuits off and someone to dump your bike to at t2 so there may be hope for me
Swim 62 to 65
T1 4 to 6
Bike 5:15 to 5:30 (I’d already done a BBS on it - saying 5:19 @ 0.71IF)
T2 2 to 4
Run 3:24 to 3:45
Sub 10 to 10:30.
I’ve done two 100 mile rides since April, all on the road bike.
A few 140k rides before that.
Not ran over 30km. And that was once.
Not swam over 40 minutes.
Not got a hotel, but have an air bed and large boot.
No family with me this weekend and I can’t remember if the room I booked is a twin or not but if you get desperate there should be some sort of room to pitch an air bed!
Also meeting up with a former tritalker and a good friend of mine who I believe you know
If it’s the Leigh I’m thinking of, that guy pops up all over the shop. Did a ParkRun at yeovil a couple of years ago, picked up my mate at Glastonbury and ‘his mate’ Leigh jumps in my car as well!
It may well be. Lived in Hants, where we went to school. Moved to the West Country. I’m fairly sure he’s settled just outside Swindon now but still pops up in Milton Keynes and the surrounding area
Sounds like him. I’m sure he did the first Outlaw with me, we did a final swim at Mychett Quays then a long ride. IIRC at Outlaw, he went 11.xx maybe faster. (back when the race was hard-er )
