You can have mine for nothing if you want, but when I checked the website it said no transfers after April. Dont know if anyone knows the organiser and can see if he will change the name?
Otherwise you can pretend to be me for the day. Big shoes to fill though, literally, Im like size 13.

It said in the email that he’s sent the final list off to the insurers so it can’t be changed. So the only option would be to race ‘as’ someone else, but there’d be no insurance cover for you and may compromise the organiser in the event of an accident. Though i’ve never heard of there being watertight participant lists going to insurers before?

Yeah not sure about that. Dont remember consenting to my details being shared with a 3rd party either but perhaps that’s in the T&Cs I didnt read.

I really wouldn’t consider racing under someone elses name especially in a Triathlon, ie more risk of damaging yourself, someone else or their property than say a running event. If I’d been racing under someone elses name last year I dread to think of the world of shit that would have arrived soley at my doorstep after the accident due to insurance being invalid etc.

Yeah I wasnt being serious about racing under my name. Realise thats a big no no.

Not suggesting you would. I’ve done it in a few running races and probably would have done a Tri, but I really wasn’t fully aware of the potential consequences until that accident. Just wanted to give a first person account of how it could go badly wrong.

Cheers @Doonhamer …but who are they? 
What we got…4 weeks. Pffff
Swim
Amazingly ticking over fine. Open water every week. No shoulder pain for first time since 2013. Might even enjoy it.
Bike
Decent 25TT this week. Need a couple more longer ones and hope the improving hip/glute holds out, else be a painful day.
Run
First outdoor relatively pain free run yesterday. Just need to find the extra 16km 
Attempting a longer run/walk tomorrow see how things react
