Gastank is number 808 on Sunday for those that wish to follow him
w00p! Go Gasbag!
Actually racing might be less stressful!!! Run is going to be a pig, but hoping for a solid swim and bike, Jessica has had a complete overhaul this year and only her frame remains
I'll be racing in my charity colours, blue
Jess is very recognisable in white BMC time machine with world champ go faster stripes, matching helmet, green bar tape black spin on this deep section wheels
In his own words

Good luck Gastank, smash it!
Good luck Gastank, enjoy
Good luck Gastank - you'll have a blast
can't find out how to track people at Challenge Barcelona
Has he started/finished yet
probably still gas-bagging in T1
If it's anything like Vachery last year he'll be in there for aaaages!
come on, he should be finished by now ?
no luck with accessing the challenge barca website, so hope you've had a fabulous day GasTank 
But
I got it it done
I think my time was just under 16 hrs, lots of DNFs
And unfortunately one of my friends tragically lost his life on the swim... I don't quite know how to feel this morning to be honest
Oh, that's sounds awful GasTank, I didn't know that conditions were so awful for you yesterday.
Congrats for finishing, and my heart goes out to your friends family
Oh Gas, very mixed emotions. Huge congratulations to you, sounds like an incredibly tough race. Condolences on your loss and thoughts are with your friends family.
Well done for the finish, and thoughts for you and yours too.
Gas, that's just awful, I'm so sorry.
Congratulations and condolences Gas.
well dne gastank, but it was really sad to hear of the death of one of your friends
thanks guys...
Tuesday was never again
Wednesday was maybe but no fekkin sea swims
Thursday was ok but only if I a) lose weight b) learn how to run properly c) get some help for the OW panic which prevents me performing in race conditions (and also very very risky in light of recent events)
I'm overjoyed to have realised a dream and saddened by the loss of a friend, but its unforunately a risky sport and it doesn't care if you can swim really well or not... fact, it's dangerous and it can happen to any of us
I guess i'll be run training and CX racing over the winter with the odd 4000m swim thrown in for good measure!
Welcome back IronGasser. So, what's your next race?
I seem to have a cyclocross race on the 26th?!? i'm conisdering a winter mara/ultra so that i do some fekkin' training at least...Mighty Deerstalker is a deffo in March this year (unless i get sent somewhere by werk)
Well done IronGasser. Sorry to hear about your friend
