Nice video, I did weymouth as well and it was my first ever 70.3. Like you only had done 2 sprints before. Had an aim of under 6 hours as well. Was on target for under 3 hour on the bike by the 70km mark and then had a puncture which took 30mins to change as I lost my tool to take off my wheel at the 20km mark. Had issue with quad cramps on the bike which meant I wasn’t able to stand on my bike going up that big hill! This was all despite probably drinking at least 2 litres of fluid with electrolytes. Run is my worst part and took 2:35. Already signed up to go bigger and do the ROC trilogy next year.
Thanks mate! That's so awesome. Gutted you got a puncture, I was thinking the entire way round I would be lucky not to get one. I had one tube and a canister, so bit of a gamble and I struggle with the rims I've got ha. You did good to change it. Cramp is a nightmare, did you take a decent amount of sodium? Just had to Google ROC trilogy. That looks insane 🤣
So motivational this! Made my signup for my first 70.3 in june. Question: how do bike aid stations work? You have to drive through? Refill your own bottles? Or everyone stops for a drink? Couldnt find any info on this...

Amazing 🔥 more like the first one, but they have full bottles for you to take. I didn’t actually use the aid stations
Great job
