cant really tell but does this event have the most low key finish of any race, by the sound on the video a few people clap quietly, might just be the clip but it seemed to lack the impact of ironman or outlaw finishes.
well done to all finishers - looked pretty crappy weather to start with
There is the full on music blaring stuff going on, but in terms of people, it is a bit quiet towards the end Doner, I think most people had buggered off by then if it wasn't for the pirates then it may well have been one man and a dog waiting at the finish for me .

Nice jon Iron Scuba, I didn't realise what a bunch of crocks you all were or I wouldn't have been so nice when I shouted at you all!!
Fraggle, sounds good! Cheers!
I'm still wearing my "athlete" wrist band.
'cos it's official.
I've still got the wrist band on - and what's left of the tattoo's. The tattoo's are disappearing a little more with each passing day though.
Went for a run today...very hard to get motivated for, and also felt really lonely without the crowds of Henley, trying to spot you guys, hi 5's....
Also no big grandstand at the end !!
thanks for sharing the video Cougie - makes me want to do another !!!
Yes please fraggle! The last hour or so at an IM finish is a strange time, often only inhabited by Pirates!
will do Gladys
I liked that link to the Challenge video. The swim start was atmospheric, don't you think?
"atmospheric", hmmm yes, there was lots low level atmosphere Blisters
OK.
The race is over. The photos are in. A week has passed and other folks are more current affairs news than us.
Where are we going to meet for friendly abuse now?
Ironman nice thread
You can see my finish here!

Two things stand out;
1) That was possibly the slowest plod down the finish of any Pirate and I was only doing the wimpy half!
2)There was NO MINCING BECASUE I DON'T MINCE!

Checking your watch like a true pro Gladys!!
Nice video clip apart from that big head who was stood in the way.
Nope, I saw no mincing, I saw a very relaxed runner crossing the line like he'd only had half a day out.
Have you seen the photographic evidence?? I can post it if you like!!
I believe Gladys has 'remodeled' his style!!
You post that pic lil Sis and the only mincing you'll see is from Cougie!
And Blisters, you can feck off too!
I'm sure Cougie was spotted mincing at Outlaw, and he was definitly light of foot as he went through the Tri2O feedstation on the run at Henley.
Don't worry, it's been posted once already!
That would have been the cat!
Twas I.
A load of waffle about the event this year (and a little bit about next year, but nothing really!):
