Salford Tri World Cup

[Deleted User]

did anyone go and watch or take part in the open event?

[Deleted User]

I was reffing / crewing.

Was a great day, although I'm still suffering from severe Panda-eyes from a combination of uncharacteristic salford sun and Oakleys ;-)

[Deleted User]

looks like it was a great day in Salford for once this summer

sorry i didnt get down there now

[Deleted User]

can they do that - shove each other out of the way on the pontoon?

[Deleted User]

SUpposed to be in race number order, but when some of them miss the line up, then the gap isn't there on the pontoon.

[Deleted User]

oh i thought you could just someone out of the way - shame !

[Deleted User]

Sorry, watching it on sky+ a few minutes behind.

Saw what you mean now. No pushing not allowed, but I seemed fair enough. There had been a bit of argy-bargy in the swim just before, and it was her own fault for goig the wrong way.

cougie

no crashes on the bike ? Pah ! Great to see how swimming should be done !

[Deleted User]

Been on TV once so far, just in the background ;-)

cougie

you media star you !

cougie

check out the trek at the front - it has the wwll fighter paintwork on it - v cool !

Jj

Sky + is fab.

ta for the reminder cougie - I remembered that I could phone home and have Mr Jj record it on our new toy!

:oD

now I can have a much needed bath, replace the 15 litres of water I sweated over the past eighty minutes, and watch li'l Tim at my leisure.

cougie

good yomping leppy !

[Deleted User]

i would have to have shorts - couldnt run in my knickers

[Deleted User]

do all Triathletes have that prancing pony style run or just the uber athletes ?

or is that the effect cycling on running style ?

[Deleted User]

i mean is that how a high volume of cycling affects running style

[Deleted User]

We'd all run like that if we were on TV in a g string.

cougie

prancing pony ? Must say there are some bad outfits being worn out there - and some great ones too ! Amazing speeds they do - the bbc should show this so you can see just how fit they are !

[Deleted User]

TV totally failed to show the transition speed. That was stunning.

cougie

blimey craig doyle qualified for the worlds as an age grouper ? He must be a bit good !

[Deleted User]

??

For Ireland I assume.

Ultra Kanga Kazzaaaaah

Ooh, like I need any more encouragement to give a tri a go!!! ;o$

[Deleted User]

i thought Doyle was taking the p then?

they are bliddy fast - the swim amazes me as it isnt easy to be a fast swimmer and cyclist/runner

cougie

tee hee - that should put the viewing figures up a bit ! Yeah forgot he was irish !

[Deleted User]

dodgy outfits?


Dons looks a bit

at least there is noone wearing a Borat style thongsuit like the guy who ran alongside the TdF!

[Deleted User]

i wouldnt want to crash out with my feet out of my shoes at the end of the bike - that could be soo nasty

[Deleted User]

it still comes down to being a strong fast runner thos doesnt it

so id be wasting my time
