The over 50's

Not really although quite a few rule changes (I’m a tri official). Best check the BTF website on these or if you have any questions fire away.

A key rule change this year is banning of towels in transition apart from a small 12"x 12" one kept under the bike

Crystal Palace has a bit of a hilly run, might want to do the park run there first!

Don’t know how I deleted that last post :person_shrugging:.

Anyway we now have carbon plated shoes, tubeless tyres, 100+g/hour carbs, power meters & all sorts of “improvements” but you shouldn’t trade any of them in for the opportunity to race with your daughter :heart_eyes:

you can swear all you like - just don’t do so against officials and event crew (volunteers). I have DQd someone for telling me to fuck off - not helped by the fact he threatened to punch my lights out.

I did the Crystal Palace tri about 10 years ago. I was a 9 lap bike course, iirc. If that’s still the format then worth having some bits of tape on your bars to help you remember how many laps you’ve done. Welcome back @Turbohobbit !

Can we overlap that graph with the revenue at Wetherspoon please?

To be fair, Wetherspoon is probably posh in Hartlepool

Coincidence? I’m not sure.
