Cheers chaps.
Same deal as IMUK innit.
Use my new found “maturity” and be really boring 
Swim “easy” (59-63)
Slow and relaxed through transition
There’s A LOT more pedalling here, so having done lots of centuries around Cheshire with zero freewheeling, I know a VI of 1.02 of constant pedalling takes more out of me…so 210W will be fine.
Just keep an eye on that power meter.
Time will be what it’ll be, can get quite windy and desolate up on the northern loop.
Slow and relaxed through transition…
Walk a minute out of transition.
Run 9 minutes.
Repeat.
I’ve just done 15 of them.
Just another 6 to do on race day.
What could possibly go wrong

Does the ‘you got this’ and tailwind work if it’s not an Ironman ™?

It doesn’t work quite so well but it’s counteracted by those ‘tap for power’ signs the kids hold up.

Sure does, only works with Ironman if you add ‘bro’ or ‘bruh’

You lot are ace
I’m pleased as (grape) punch that I copied my
Last three weeks before Bolton to Outlaw.
I thought on my jog today “Why am I doing this? COS YOU’RE GONNA GET A SPOT! England vs Denmark, round 2. Outlaw vs Copenhagen”
I’d had the latter signed off at home, found a hotel, flight and a couple of TTers helped me out with bike transport options and stuff, too.
But then @mw22 linked me up to my nemesis race 
Just great to be part of this forum.
