TROSaracen 30 Jul 8:05am, 30 Jul 2024 28,125 posts	0 TROSaracen Duathlon would be profoundly dull. The interest in the race that should be going now was whether the swim-bikers could open up enough of a gap on the runners. Result could have been an exciting chase if they’d carved out a minute or more. Yee and Wilde would run comfortably up front in Run 1, nestle themslves into the pack for the bike and run away in run 2 - very predictable. I’ve heard potential thunderstorms today which would probably eliminate any chance of holding the events tomorrow (not sure there is much chance now tbh….). Next contingency is both races Friday I’ve heard.

Couldn't find a thread so thought I would start one.

Who else is off to watch or who is watching at home?

We're doing Lille and Paris and a mix of sports. Currently trying to find travel insurance that includes ticket cancellation as some of the trains in the UK might be difficult and we have some internal French trains to do as well.

Also need to work out the new Paris metro ticket/app combo (Navigo I think).
