Fatman to Ironman

Some real timing issues at the event yesterday, 20 racers out of a field of about 70 now show DNF/Disqualified (including me) which is pretty frustrating.  I'm sure the timing company will sort it out, but a bit of a pain.

Do the whole event in your wetsuit.

nearly but not quite - 

 that's top pro Matty Reed at IM 70.3 Boise earier this year - reasons given here - http://triathlon.competitor.com/2012/06/features/the-story-behind-that-matty-reed-wetsuitbike-photo_55567

well done those who raced yesterday.  I was reffing at Crawley Tri and it was bloody miserable, cold and wet - luckily the worst of the rain held off until everyone had finished.

Saturday was the day for racing, Sunday was the day for staying in bed  

I hear the New Forest HIM had it's very own Marshman experience, with T2 being closed later in the day on safety grounds...

You should always ask me .. the mouldy one is always right 

Just been for a wee swim.  Felt great, and no ill-effects since  .  Drugs, heat pack and lots of exercises are doing the trick.

Here's my race report from yesterday.

Just finished virgin London time on watch 3hr 5 mins

I thought I was the only pirate there, I didn't spot anybody else in yellow & black.

Well done, great time in those conditions, you beat me by miles

Good read DTT.

Can you tell me how to do links like you've done in your post, rather than put the whole web address in?

Surely there's a law about blatant lying on here???

No Raf there isn't and you can crawl back into your box and stay there
