CStar Aug 2021 7:24pm, 8 Aug 2021 8,227 posts	0 CStar London Tri: Horrible - Just don't ever consider doing it. Swim: Choppy, with next waves of swimmers swimming over the top of you. Bike: dangerous in the wet and the wind with not enough marshalls, leading to crashes and people going the wrong way. Run: the most boring up and down 3 times route imaginable, especially in lashing rain (which was actually a distraction). Hated almost the entire thing Oh and it took over an hour to escape out of the traffic hell around ExCeL.

TROSaracen Aug 2021 7:42pm, 8 Aug 2021 23,701 posts	0 TROSaracen Never done the London Tri, never will. It’s either the premium (Outlaw’s, Ironman) or small friendly club events that I do these days. Sorry for your experience, maybe see if there is a nice local late season sprint to take some good memories into Winter? By a coincidence marshalled our club Tri today. Lovely event, 45% of the field ladies, tons of excited/nervous/thrilled newbies and the rain held off until after. Minimal social distancing requirements made it all feel normal again. A great, great day.
