Wait she almost came last???

Damn I really had the narrative all prepared: she totally smashed it today, huge confidence boost, she will run a 3:30 marathon in two weeks and absolutely nail the 70.3 in 9 weeks, Ironman coming up for the autumn… maybe she should have picked a downhill Parkrun instead for this morning.
If it was anyone else I’d be full of admiration (I can barely swim or ride a bike!) but it’s HER! Full time athlete, role model, influencer extraordinaire - so I’m sorry, but it’s fucking hysterical that she was almost last
Looking forward to Edinburgh now. The next stop on her never ending road to Boston 🥱

Exactky this. 100 percent. I admire anyone dojng any event. Any time is amazing if you’re doing it . But you’re right it’s HER .
Wonder how she’s feeling about Iron man now - brimming with confidence?
Have to admit I saw her swim time ages before the bike and run went up and because of how long it took her I thought she had pulled an amazing time out the bag for the middle distance swim - as people were doing the sprint swim in like 15 mins
I don't have a lot of context for tris as I've never wanted to do one (don't mind swimming, don't ever want to open water swim though and I hate riding a bike) - isn't 6 minutes a very long time for a swim to bike transition?
In all seriousness though, I don’t think we’re going to hear about the Swansea one again now. Surely after today she must realise that if she could. hardly do this one- then she’s hardly going to be able to go full Ironman in 9 weeks time.
It would be potentially dangerous (to her) and unfair on any marshalls volunteering having to wait for her to make it round . As I sense she’d be hours after even ‘steadier’ paced triathletes .
However she won’t admit any of this if she is a DNS. She’s a triathlete now don’t you know

Well she only had 750 metres to swim today and that took 46 minutes so anyone with any sort of basic maths skills can make that maths…math. But probably not kels and tits….thats not the sort of maths they do

If it took her 45+ minutes to complete a 750m swim, how long is it gonna be for almost 2k of the 70.3? Is she even gonna qualify for the cutoff?
Get yourselfs ready for the upcoming DNSs
Just realised so many people with the same question, well spotted everyone
