Sorry my report is only brief, I don't have much spare time and it takes me an age to write. this is copied form the other side that Mr Wiganer frequents. well done by the way, I can't believe you are retiring in your prime.
It wasn't a good one for me over an hour slower than last year.
Having downed my pre race pint and half of Guinness Sat night, I arrived home with the odd sniffle and sneeze. I took a hay fever tablet and went to bed, woke in the morning with a sore throat, bugger! Swim ok, T1 Ok, link to and first lap ok, second lap fading third lap suffered. T2 ok set off running ok then started to lose it on Chorley New Road. made it to feed station at the Beehive washed a gel down and still feeling rough as I passed a helper with two cups of water who asked, did I want them? I said yes, he said over your head? please, Brilliant that guy saved my run, I was clearly over heating which I should have know, coming of the bike with the wind generated cooling me to the relatively still air around me whilst running doh! I hung on and hung on to finishing in 13:09:35.
