shawnvan Posted April 2, 2014 Posted April 2, 2014 Surely that was an April Fools joke.... Cancelled swim? The weather has to be really, really bad for this to happen. No there was never really talk of swim being cancelled, just saying its a good that this is pretty much off the cards with the current weather. If a big front came through its always a possibility. I've heard somewhere that in hindsight WTC thinks Paul should never have let the swim in 2012 go ahead... they were lucky nothing went wrong.
Garfield2010 Posted April 2, 2014 Author Posted April 2, 2014 I saw sms's doing the round about swim being cancelled so I assumed you meant that.

Came out in 1.30 (still in the top 1/3rd of the field)...They pulled a couple of people from the water and a good few didn't make it in cut-off.
hboli4 Posted April 2, 2014 Posted April 2, 2014 Good luck everyone, hope to see none of you in the medical tent!! Me too!!! Spent some time there last year after I finished...I passed out on the way to the car and gave everyone a big scare.

Red Zone Posted April 2, 2014 Posted April 2, 2014 Leaving tomorrow, going home soon to pack up, will do a last tune up ride tomorrow morning before I hit the road. I sure hope that those butterflies in my stomach have some nutritive value otherwise they are just irritating for no reason. The butterflies also seem to multiply every day
