snip I will interested to see how they spread out the road race, crit, and TT......I would think that the TT would have to go last and definately not on the same day as the other two. I think it was scheduled for a few days earlier, this year. That being because the running and triathlon events were at the end. Now they're split up, maybe it'll change. It might be a good idea to contact the organisers now and put the point forward. In the road race, was there any team tactics between the three services or was it a free-for-all? Complete free-for-all. I don't know what happened in the last few laps though. I think because everyone was from different areas, other pers from same service were considered no different from other service. Which we know is not true... TB |

My hands would end up quite sore and then I got into the habit of scuffing tyres so these justified a glove purchase. I've hit the deck enough times since to know that gloves are a 'good idea'. You lot are clever enough to make your own minds up.. crash happy hippy |

I have INCREDIBLY (small) hands, so much that if I wear gloves it is very, very hard for me to brake. I think braking is important, so except in winter, I don't wear gloves. That being said, I don't race crits, I race non-drafting triathlons. And I'm not very fast. T |

If you crash in a tri TT, you're pretty unlucky or REALLY pushing the limits! :-) hippy doesn't wear gloves while using a pc |

If you crash in a tri TT, you're pretty unlucky or REALLY pushing the limits! :-) One of the smaller tri series in SE Qld is the Bribie Triathlons. The roads are closed but there's still some light traffic moving through the area, parked cars, wheelie bins etc. Doing my second, there was this horrible fat girl who kept drafting but couldn't even do it with dignity, she kept pretending like she "couldn't" overtake... hello, then drop back, b*$%&! So I was down on my bars, I put my head down and went as hard as I could for one stretch, she ****ed me off so much, looked up when I was 1m away from a parked car and about 1 m in, I don't know how I managed to dodge it without coming off. Oops is better than ouch. I'm the queen of stupid slogans. T |
