Comments: For those reading this report thinking about doing IM70.3UK - it will find you out if you don't train properly for it. I got found out - no excuses. For comparison 2 weeks earlier at The Outlaw Half on a very flat course I went 5:02. For this race I was 1'20 slower. How Ritchie Nicholls ran that course sub 1:15 is a complete mystery to me. It was utterly enervating after the bike leg.
Excellently run event though - no complaints about the organization. Plenty of volunteers and a great crowd. Just a shame that the weather was rubbish.
