Awesome work yet again.

Now stop mincing about with these sprints and get locked onto a middle. Your bike would be devastating to the other girls and you'd had a potential for a nice buffer for the run

The swim being only 400m more than an OD won't matter that much.

And that's never a good move, especially in open water.

Hold fire for a few weeks, everybody... Windsor beckons. I reckon a mid-pack swim will be followed by a frighteningly fast bike (easy, fast and familiar course) then a 50min 10k.

The only possible fly in the ointment is that Windsor is apparently a 'long' bike course: the organisers call it a 42km bike, although everybody's Garmin measures it at about 39.9-40.1. That said, there are few sub-2:00 finishers in the AGers so maybe true.

CCS, you have a lot more to give in the run. Tbh you'd be quicker if you cut your head off, because I reckon that's the only bit that slows you down.
I had fun once. It was awful.

I am so looking looking forward to the Windsor reports :D
It seemed like a good idea at the time :? .

Great result. You really need to have a go at AG qualification. Think there is a sprint left still at Big Cow on the 6th September. With a bike like that the run shouldn't matter!

Toying with the idea. Think it is the 16th - had planned a TT that day but thinking about swapping...

If it's The 6th of September, oh the decisions, the Big Cow, the birthday party or The Sundowner, so much to do ;)

Always good to have choices :D
