Sod off. You know that meeting up with a relative during a race is way over the line of assistance. Might as well get a tow from a sticky bottle. I believe under tcr rules it’s allowed at checkpoints (need to confirm), but if you pre plan a meeting then that’s taking the piss.
In the interest of clarity. I did bump into my parents on one tcr (as did most other reacers) but I didn’t seek them out. They came and found me at a supermarket as I ate lunch on the pavement. The race went through their tiny French village. And I made my peace with it as they cheered on nearly every racer. So it wasn’t special for just I. And I was in 136th place having had 36h out and deemed my ‘race’ over.
