Weather looking delightful…

Doing my kit packing and I’ve got two wetsuits

HUUB super duper one, but is an effort to get on

Zone 3 basic, but much easier to get on.

My thinking is to take the Zone 3 as the time loss in the swim is going to be minimal, but the saving of mental energy between races will be reasonable

Sound logic?

Makes sense to me. Your swim is very strong so wearing the Zone3 won’t handicap you too much.

Have a good day out :flexed_biceps:

Take both? With the aim of doing so many races, there’s always the risk of a tear across the two days? So having a spare is probably sensible anyway. And you could always wear the huub one for the first race each day regardless, where you aren’t constrained by time?

Presumably the risk of rearing the Huub is high if you are repeatedly putting it on while wet?

I’ve brought both but will probably do what @stenard suggested.

Bumped into this guy who is also not impressed with the weather

Just make sure you beat him. That’s all we ask.

Do we have a way to see how @funkster is getting on?

There’s a tracker here… 2026 Supertri Blenheim Palace Triathlon » RTRT.me

What a day.

Saw TC after race 1

Weather was horrific which made the bike course super sketchy.

Managed 4 with a minute fade on the swim for 3 and 4 and a big fade on run 4

Was eyeing up 5 but couldn’t make the cut off due to the logistics of being solo (and slow)

Quite a lot of people did 4 today so will be interesting to see how many tomorrow, me included

Brownlee did 6

The tracker is confusing

Garmin died at T2 on no.4 yesterday hence the shorter distance and time

I think @Toyota_Crown sneaked in 7 as well.

Would have been tight on the course cut off I think

I keep reminding them on SM(as do my kids) that I did 11 sprints back in 2020 :grin:
