    I'm in to do it, though my swim estimate was a little ambitious I think!! Does anyone know if you contact Concept will they change your seeding for the swim?



    Not sure if my knee is going to hold up fo the run, but will give it a go!



    I do hope the weather is better - On Saturday morning I was struggling to hit 20kmh on the bike on the flat in places into the breeze!

    I put the time I got in my last tri down for the swim and have ended up in the second to last wave with one of the low race numbers [&:], and am bricking it a bit now, I think it's natural. Not sure if they will change your wave though - they won't do it on the day.

    I did exactly that last week and got an email through this morning updating my swim time.

    Race number 23 if anyone wants to come and say hello..



    In true fashion had to buy something new to race with (ie not following the adage about always practising with what you know so the bike has a nice set of new tyres!!!



    See you tom morning...

    I'm race number 25, if you haven't changed your wave I'll say hi poolside.
  • diddsdidds Posts: 655
    and I'm 123!!!



    Good luck chaps!!



    I'll be starting hours before you blokes I am sure, but probably finishing at the same time ! we may be able to meet up afterwards.
