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 :man_shrugging:

I’m just a bit antisocial IRL :roll_eyes:

2014 I reckon, I’m sure it was before LO was 1yr old.

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.

More recently have met @FatPom and @Clive

  • Sprint/Oly opener
  • HIM
  • Sprint/Oly (maybe)
  • Ironman

  • late season race

2019 was my last season: Sprint/HIM/IM done.

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? :man_shrugging:
