    Fran that was one super human performance. You went in to CPH injured and well under physically prepared, and this while this could have affected your mental preparation you battled against all the odds to just shy of a PB.
    CPH is a great IM, one I’d return to if I was to do another. Enjoy another glass of that red you hear me…

    Enjoyed that Report Fran and delighted to read about another finish ad you leaving it all out there. No matter what the clock says you can stand up (or maybe lie down) and feel dead proud.

    Well done, enjoy the beers, hi to Michelle and mind your back!

    Great result JB, even more so when you look at your run in and the injury. 100% behind your decision to give it a go, could have been reading my own report there at times. Enjoy the recovery and hopefully you get to the route of the injury.

    4 weeks with very little activity since Copenhagen. Turns out I had a herniated disc in the lower back but just need to get an MRI arranged to confirm it. Thankfully rest and anti inflams have really helped and the pain is nowhere near as bad as it was before (and after) Copenhagen.

    One last race tomorrow and it will be the annual Phoenix tri club gathering at Pulse sprint. I will be taking it handy enough and trying to stop myself from laughing when Tunney tries to get into/out of his wetsuit.

    It had shrunk in the wash.

    I believe there are photos that are less complementary. Although do testify to my struggles as well.
