Oi..I struggle with the last 2 weeks in taper.

 

Similar to 70.3 earlier the year, i get SO many excuses NOT to train. Doing a super taper again. This is purely mental now.

 

I do have a tired body after Two Oceans, but i did a LSD for Two Oceans, so I am just making excuses to myself.

 

So with my SUPER taper, I am hoping for a 13hr this year! 2015 - 14h50, 2016 14h04. This year i have the marathon legs as well as cycling, basically doubled my training in the last 4 months compared to 2016.

 

Holding thumbs for a beautiful day! No planning to tri-bike in 2018 again after IMSA :eek: Looking forward for a 2 year break from Tri's

2016 I did a 14:03 iirc.

Stupid question time. If I put gas bombs in my luggage on aeroplane is that ok?

 

The last time I flew we were only allowed 2 in our hand luggage and be careful when 'describing' it to the security :whistling:

 

One of my mates forgot his in his luggage and was called to security to remove them and get a talking to...

 

For all the hassle, buy at the expo.

Shouldn't be a problem wrt "exploding", but security might take them off you. Hide them in your luggage, or just get some at the expo.
