That's me in the orange kit who nearly went down - thanks to the blue bike rider for popping me back upright

Swim was lekka, definitely longer than 1.9. Cycle went well and was beautiful when I remembered to look up and at the coast. The run was brutal on last 8 km, hit 3 cokes + extra water at the same aid station at some point but pleased with my result. Aimed for 05:30 and came in at 05:24:16 SWIM 00:40:52BIKE 02:41:19RUN 01:53:27 OVERALL 05:24:16 TRANSITION DETAILS T1:SWIM-TO-BIKE 00:05:33T2:BIKE-TO-RUN 00:03:05 There were some animals out there on the bike. Definitely adds to the experience hearing TT bikes coming up from behind and seeing them become little dots in the distance - inspiring!

1219 - First time IM event! Fingers crossed we get to swim on the day

Camel toe is more pleasing to the eye than moose knuckle

Would be interesting to see a figure of the collective years' of experience per group based on number of tours, and how that ties back to the groups with most crashes. Not saying number of tours is the be-all and end-all ito rider experience but it would be interesting to see ... even more so if a minimum number of tours + time were used as seeding criteria in the groups where speeds are generally higher. Personally I feel safer surrounded by ballies with high single and double digits on their backs

Perhaps blocking off the road and burning said tyre in front of the shop will help

Not exactly the same (or as exciting as CF) but have been doing a bodyweight exercise programme called simplefit - combo of pull-ups, pushups and squats for twenty minutes, three times a week. For the time spent, the results have been good ito strength gains, and little bit of muscle too The website is simplefit.org if you want to check it out.

Wonderful idea! Anyone for Goodwood to Century City bus?

Sounds great, and easy! Reckon you could substitute espresso with strong instant mix or will that not be as effective?
