I only have my wife to blame.
After all it was Sue who started to do triathlons recently, and so Stu thought I was an appropriate team member.
Actually, he chose his team well, we were all as slow as each other, and entered the race with the same view.
Jon did some serious training on the beer for the weeks leading up to it, making sure he had plenty of carbo loading. Stu strained his groin the week before, ensuring a good "taper" to his training, and I skipped supper the night before, so that I was not carrying any extra weight.
So what could go wrong?
Well, it didn't. We had a great time, were delighted with the result (We beat Lord of the Pies, and that was our goal.... actually the did not manage to complete it)
The Tempus Fu Gits came in 94th out of 331, were commended by some Young things who thought we had done exceptionally well to get round al all, and saw an opportunity to do so much better next year, with a little serious training......
