@JoceMcCauley@Timheming Yeh good point - maybe something stricter about they get dq if they don’t drop back 50m from the women’s group?
As mainly an issue when they end up in the middle or at the front of some of the women helping pull them along or bridge gaps
@Rastle50@Timheming Yes! The back of the pro field has affected the front of women’s racing many many times but also hard because even I have finished in the top 10 in a men’s pro field at a race.
Being told that some of the best long distance triathletes in the world are unable to get on to start-lists for major Ironman races (ie. Ironman Texas) because the pro field is full. This is despite the athletes applying ahead of deadline.
Very exited to announce The Brownlee Foundation’s forray into events for all.
In 2024 we are organising two events to provide fun, reasonably priced and inspiring racing opportunities. With all of the profits generated being directed into The Brownlee Foundation.
After almost a decade with Will Clarke, GB pro Ruth Astle @rastle has a new coach. Good move? Big reveal, no spoilers, here: youtube.com/watch?v=Nrx3ym…
After a crappy year due to injury, Ruth Astle @Rastle50 still fronted up with her now annual YouTube video on her finances.
Excellent insight, particularly for anyone who might be thinking of turning pro.

A 58-tooth chainring and an incredibly aero set up set this bike apart from the others you'll see in transition! Can it power Ruth Astle to another Ironman win in Cozumel this weekend?
