Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

Edith won her place in the Risk and Assurance Dream Team with the following answer:

‘I’d keep running of course. What’s a bit of shit running down your legs compared to the chance of being on the start line once graced by legends like Deenzy, Beeber and that leathery, shouty Chef wanker with the hair transplant’

Edith is without doubt a banker

So as I sit here the day before Oulton at 68.8kgs the following should be said.

I have bike legs although Ironically not sure I have 30 mins of them but if I can find a wheel and get a minute off around half way expect a solid bike.

Run legs are unknown. Usually weight loss is coupled with more run miles but not the case here. I am largely untested with18.12 on a lumpy multi terrain course my only run that was anywhere near a brick session and I had about 40 mins between.

Yeap no brick work as I just don't have the focus for duathlon at this time of year unless fun on an mtb.

So to wrap up

No brick work at all run to bike
1 session bike to run
Minimal run work
No 5km test of note
No bike work for this beyond saying for 16 mins I can ride a long way above 10 mins power and Thursday saw a spikey 10 mins just below 330watts at my current weight
Gary at Sportstest advised I didn't go below 70.3kgs but I have by a lot and largely through shrinking my Upper body as my legs are bigger.

I do expect to be strong on the slope and my bike craft is awesome.

What could possibly go wrong?

Good luck Gobi.

"What could possibly go wrong?" Well I suppose your too big 30 inch trousers could fall down?

Last long run before Manchester half done. Mrs Nico now slightly better on the shitting bricks front. I'll give her Edith's advice just in case.
