I forgot @doug , wore a TT jersey to commute one day, early morning start at Guys hospital pool and i was acosted by a bloke in an Irnbru top in the changing room
Has anyone met @Whisk?
Is he the original & most refined Italian Bot?
oh shit, I forgot @whisk as well. Met him and Mrs Whisk at the Alpine Challenge and probably met him at the Roche Camp in Mallorca but didn’t know him then.
Phew, reassuring to hear .
I’ve met a few over the last 18 months.
@Poet
@gingerbongo
@Jgav
and I think a few others at Cots but I’m not totally 100% on names
@Matthew_Spooner TCR Stuff
@Mungo2 at Hyrox London
Yeah, I met @FatPom in Annecy in 2015(?).
TBH I haven’t done a triathlon of any sort since 2018 and it’s a long time since I’ve done many in a season.
We had a big TT meet-up at IM Austria in 2006 and I think I met @AndyS there and maybe @explorerJC and Towel and probably loads of other TT1.0 regulars.
There was a few TTers at the world long course champs in Almere in 2008. I think I met @doug there?
I met other folks from TT1.0 at Lanza in 2008 and 2010, Nice in 2009 and St George in 2011, but I don’t think it was anyone who is still posting now
I’m just a bit antisocial IRL
2014 I reckon, I’m sure it was before LO was 1yr old.
My last tri was 2018 also
Yes I was at Almere in 2008
I’ve met too many from TT1.0 to list starting at London Tri and Vitruvian in 2004, a couple of TT training camps, IMUK, Forestman, Swashbuckler.
There were also a lot of the RW Pirate mob as well. Me and Mrs FB were there - I had a DNF, Mrs FB had a DQ.
Even a ‘busy’ season for me was maybe only 5 Triathlons if I was doing an Ironman
- Sprint/Oly opener
- HIM
- Sprint/Oly (maybe)
- Ironman
- HIM (maybe)
- late season race
2019 was my last season: Sprint/HIM/IM done.
New age group, time to challenge yourself and see if you’ve still got it
I met a bunch at a Dec TT social in that there London maybe 2010. Badger, Kemptonslim, Lex, Savaloy, Lizzie - probably others I forgot, Bought wheels off TonyP.
Carlito around Edinburgh at various events
Adam at a SwimSmooth day
Aliice at NYD Edinburgh and again IMUK 2015. Think I was a bit quicker than her at NYD but she absolutely smashed me at anything longer.
Was on my homeymoon…and did an IM…with a hangover…
i forgot that was a meet up…
Ah yes, met Kemptonslim in Zofingen…
Should of course have added @p00key from Thames Path trotting/Western States and Chamonix
I forget her TT name but that was the year we met ‘Princess Liz’ who appeared to be the most beautiful being ever to have existed. That sounds a bit weird but MrsS agreed and when Princess Liz got all European at the end of the peer it means we didn’t really talk about anyone else from Austria 2006.
I think she was a scientist from Germany, built a laser as part of her degree, went on the conquer the world!
Yes, that’s Lizzie. She had to brush off a few tipsy dudes while we were chatting at the TT meet up I was at. I’m nothing special mind, she’d kindly done some translation work for me
I’m not sure that Lizzie was into dudes, was she?
Correct she has a wife - we meet up every now and then.
