Thanks - never learnt how to use co2 in the heat of battle though, and always have this slight anxiety about getting n+1 punctures where n is how many cartridges.
Planning on carrying 1 spare tube, 3 levers, pump, repair kit in case 2nd/3rd/4th/5th puncture, chain link & mini multi tool with chain tool, 2 * 750ml bottles, maybe 4 geis. Think thatās it. Not quite sure where on the bike it all fits though.
Sorry of this makes no sense, may I confess have been home alone all afternoon and broke the 2 pint rule somewhere around 3pm

Tape the gels to the top tube. If you tape the rip-off tab you dont have to worry about dropping that and it opens it as your rip it off. As for the rest a saddle bag should do you

The really nice thing is that the chain is super clean, if you have to change a wheel or otherwise meddle with the drive train you donāt end up looking like a coal miner. Itās worth it just for that 
Edit: my mork having just put newly waxed chain back on, no gloves

You need some tape on that valve hole.
And some FSA TriMax cranks.
Also, biggie smalls. 3 oāclock. And your borders need weeding

Not a single weed in that border sunshine. I specifically selected that site! 
Yeah Iāll tape up the hole for the race. Donāt know what those cranks are! Some tt1 joke I assume?

If both bikes are the same speed e.g. 10 speed you should find that the cassette will work with either SRAM or Shimano.
Very nice looking bike though!

Those in the pic are late season strawberries. The early season ones have flowered. 
Good spot though

First bash out on the TT.
First ten minutes spent wondering how on earth I sat on it for 5+ hours last year.
Hips need some work.
Power crap. Pace ok.
Didnāt need to mow or edge the lawn 
Edit. Yes itās a canyon. I know they need to work on their branding. So subtle.

Thereās a position! Making me think I need to get my bars dropped under the bottom spacers now so donāt miss out on the gainzz
I donāt think Iām particularly aero on it. No matter how much I change things, I seem to end up in similar place.
Annoyingly when I crammed a last minute bike fit last year, the fitter sat on it and his position looked a million times better than mine

Elevation you say???
Have you been to the Fens?
Or Amsterdam?
Those canal bridges make more elevation than this course.
Itās crazy flat.

Thereās a bridge over the A-road that you do a few of times I think?
Very slow hour on the treadmill. Butā¦ Itās an hour on feet and the knee felt better after the run.
Might actually finish this race if can keep building like this.

I too have been focusing on weight reduction. Extreme dieting ended yesterday and almost hit my target.
Only now can I start increasing the training. Tbh Iām starting from a low bar so have a lot of catching up to do.
Just getting round and hopefully enjoying it is my A Plan. First triathlon in 6 years.
