To Doug, Nikki, Gerry & Mary.
To quote Lance Armstrong
"This is not Disneyland, or Hollywood. I'll give you an example: I've read that I flew up the hills and mountains of France. But you don't fly up a hill. You struggle slowly and painfully up a hill, and maybe, if you work very hard, you get to the top ahead of everybody else." –
I’m sure you remember a cycle last winter when the wind howled as the rain fell sideways, you’re nose more snotty than a Childs, and you asked yourselves was it all worth it, as you questioned your sanity.
Well all I can say is, it will be well worth it, that I know
As for the sanity I’m not so sure.
The very best wishes. I am flying over to the race to shout at yea as well.

well, I don't know but the guys in the UK are playing a blinder ...... I think Santa Clause is in trouble this year with Mary Daly topping out at 348mph (time to go back to paper and pen for split times I think ) .... I must admit , the on-line live feed is not as much fun as driving a fiesta with 5 grown ( well grown) adults in the back up the mountains around Nice. Just not the same really, killing me I am not there to soak up some of that rain . Looking forward to the race reports. Duffy, last bike split @ 342mph.... now that is impressive. TOTAL SWIM 2.4 mi. (6:23) 0:10/100m 195 31 FIRST BIKE SEGMENT 34.2 mi (12:31) 163.94 mph SECOND BIKE SEGMENT 36 mi (12:40) 170.53 mph THIRD BIKE SEGMENT 36 mi (13:04) 165.31 mph FINAL BIKE SEGMENT 5.8 mi (1:01) 342.30 mph Nicky peaked @ 172mph but nothing to be sniffed at!!! TOTAL SWIM 2.4 mi. (7:35) 0:11/100m 639 4 FIRST BIKE SEGMENT 34.2 mi (11:55) 172.20 mph SECOND BIKE SEGMENT 36 mi (26:12) 82.44 mph THIRD BIKE SEGMENT 36 mi (--:--) -- mph FINAL BIKE SEGMENT 5.8 mi (47:22) 7.35 mph Douglas : again a wopping 156mph... LEG DISTANCE PACE RANK DIV.POS. TOTAL SWIM 2.4 mi. (6:28) 0:10/100m 223 51 FIRST BIKE SEGMENT 34.2 mi (13:22) 153.52 mph SECOND BIKE SEGMENT 36 mi (13:46) 156.90 mph THIRD BIKE SEGMENT 36 mi (14:58) 144.32 mph FINAL BIKE SEGMENT 5.8 mi (--:--) -- mph Mary daly : toping out at 348mph... TOTAL SWIM 2.4 mi. (8:01) 0:12/100m 826 11 FIRST BIKE SEGMENT 34.2 mi (12:59) 158.05 mph SECOND BIKE SEGMENT 36 mi (12:53) 167.66 mph THIRD BIKE SEGMENT 36 mi (13:31) 159.80 mph FINAL BIKE SEGMENT 5.8 mi (1:00) 348.00 mph |

Some achievement all. I'm tired even thinking about it. If G.Duffy goes for the hat trick he has to swim/bike/run home from the event no matter where it is!
Congrats to all
