I'm there saturday for a look around as I'm racing in the sprint at 1pm on sunday. Hopefully the rain will hold off for both days but I can see it being a little wet sometime!
I'll be there on Saturday, racing at 1:40.
Looks like its going to be a complete washout weather wise!
It's my favourite sprint course because it's one of the toughest going!
My boss is doing it as his first tri so look for a stocky Irish man limping around!
Not sure how we'd recognise each other - without a t-shirt or an avatar I'll be anonymous. Could be that I'll just look like a ginger drowned rat!
I'm going off Sunday @12:00 I will be wearing my Banana Army Tshirt with the 220 buddies banner across the bottom as long as i dont burn it when i try and iron it on.
Bring on the sun and the hills.....
Mat
Come along early and shout "Come on Jase" really loudly - You'll tell its me cus I'll be the one waving back as I haven;t got a t-shirt
Getting nervous now
Good luck to one and all. I'll look out for the t-shirts.
Went back today to watch a mate from the tri club do her sprint and managed some forum t-shirt exposure in between the rainy patches; saw Clarkey before his swim as he started after my mate and watched him whizz past on the bike/run in good style. There were an awful lot of people there though so didn't spot anyone else although have an inkling that I recognised joolzd in a wetsuit as I legged it down to the lake late for my start time! Arriving late for the swim was a good idea as it gave me no time to panic whilst waiting; just joined the queue as last few got into the lake and had about 2 minutes to get my bearings. I'd recommend it to nervous types ha ha.
Was there today too at the Transition, working..cheering everyone through and making sure everyone got to run out in the right direction and not go with helmets still on...it's amazing how people run/bike in the wrong direction, sit down, take wetsuits off, check hair.....must be the adrenelin affecting the brain!![:)] [:)] Saw Clarkey too and his mate, think they did a good time, well done all who completed today and yesterday...another great event, despite yesterday's waterlog weather!![:D]
Also checked out the results and did 1h40m27 came 231 out of 855 ladies which given last year I was in the bottom numbers I'm pretty damn pleased with myself - haven't seen category results yet! How did you get on?
