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!

I got one from Amazon Pix - go for orange as they’re the most visible in the water

Super sprint Tri-d. A clusterfuck, but an AG win.

Arrived late, and found I’d left the crack pipe to inflate my rear disc at home. Inflated my front which was at 45psi so had to ride the rear at similar.

Swim, 7:08 steady but really got held in traffic as you tap feet but have to wait to end of lane to pass. Some fumbling in T1. I was cranking it on the bike, then misread a Marshall’s signals and turned left instead of right….had to scream to a halt and u turn. Long stretch of new chip seal which felt ok on 45psi. 30:31 bike.

T2 ok, then blasted out 2 mile run which was amazingly hilly, 13 mins. Forgotten how much these little blasts hurt, not sure I quite dialled into the required intensity - 4 years since last sprint Tri.

Overall 53:13, 9th o/a and despite captain cock up turning up won M50-59 by over 2 mins.

Nice result, but will need less errors to challenge at Outlaw half next Sunday.

Sounds stressful TRO but well done on the AG win.

Agree with Frags re: orange for visibility on a tow float. I think they're all pretty much of a muchness so you don't need to pay extra for a branded one. I like my DHB one as I can fit quite a bit of kit in it too - should you ever be swimming from point to point or worried about someone nicking your stuff from the river bank!

Well done Captain Cockup!

I've got a swim secure float - doughnut shape. It's good but the waterproof pouch bit in the middle isn't. Looks like a nice day for OWS, I'll be in the open air pool this week though as I appear to be a wimp at the mo!
