He certainly did. 11:40 ish I believe.
He’s aiming just to get round with a smile on his face on Sunday

I’m 932.
Not sure what I will do TBH. Plan is just to take it steady and see what transpires. But I reckon swim will be about the same as last time depending how well they’ve measured the new course. Bike should be a bit faster than last time as I was on road bike with clip on bars. Running is probably a bit better than then but I will set off slower than last time and hope to hold it longer, last time I did one run of 25km as my longest but this time I’ve done a few of them, one 28km and one 32km. No gluten and Maurten should help injest more calories too.
Swim: 1:10-1:15 min
T1: 5 min
Bike: 6:00
T2: 3 min
Run: <4:00
So a good day will be a bit over 11 - 11:30

Thanks buddy 
Pop over and say Hi , it’ll be good to catch up mate, it’s been a few years (ha, just realised it’s literally a decade!!) since you handed me my arse at Oulton Park Du and gave me the one fingered salute at the finish I’ll be around the race briefings and that FoodCell stand for a while too
Good luck and tail winds (in all directions, if the forecast is right! )

Just printing those sheets off now.
There’ll be no salutes at this one.
Just a smile and lots of sweat 
@Adam - Cheers for the offer.
It’s only 80 miles from mine, so a nice home bed an 0230 alarm call to arrive on site in time 
I cant leave my wife alone or expect her to stand around all day waiting for me.

Yeah same. Roped my mother in law to give my wife a helping hand.
Long time since I’ve been to the rodeo…
…so the “change bag” - can we drop this off on Sunday morning? Can we drop all bags off on sunday morning?
Where do I leave my car key?
Two bags into transition on the Saturday. Swim to bike and bike to run.
3rd bag to be dropped off on Sunday which will have your pre/post clothes.
Car key is going to be an issue for me also. Not quite decided what to with it yet.
Current options are put it in the 3rd bag, tool kit, bento box on bike or a lanyard and wear it, obviously can’t do that for the swim and it will irritate the fuck out of me on the run
Why would you not put it in the street clothes bag? That’s where my wallet, phone, etc always go for races?

Yes agree. Probably is the best option.
I’ve actually never been to a triathlon without my wife to dump all the valuables with!
Agreed, always trusted valuables in normal bag.
Oh! There’s secure lockers somewhere at HPP.
It’s mentioned in the race pack.
But yes, if we can drop off the post-event bag on Sunday AM, then it can go in there.
Fourth time I’ll be doing Outlaw solo.
I’ve just forgot what goes down!
(But you can be sure as hell I remember the lake )

If you click our profile photo, it should show our real names 
Just been messing about with BBS, reduced my FTP and power target for the day, seeing as I think I’ve lost fitness. aim is to not do anything over medium at all on the bike.
I’m registering and racking Saturday AM, attend the 11AM briefing. Then off back home for some luncheon and put my feet up 
The bike course is quite a bit different from 2012, so should be good

You’re doing a 160 mile round trip the day before you race, and then another 80 miles on the day?!
That sounds like madness to me, unless you really like your car!

If I get my act together I’ll aim for the 11am briefing but I’ll probably end up at the 1pm. Drop bags off, rack then head to the cinema I reckon.
Same, except for the cinema bit. Family arrive in Nottingham for about 5 so will pick them up from the train station.

Yeah a bit strange having time on my hands. First time I’d say since having kids that I’ll have nothing to do!

Worked perfectly for me 2017, ideal way to get off the feet without distraction or stressing. Dunkirk wasn’t the best choice of film before getting in the water mind

Weighing up my options at the moment.
