I like Paul. He gave me loads of info and tips before my first TCR and I still have the framebag he sold me. I knew he DNFd one of them because he was crook but I couldn't remember the other one - I remember he dropped lots of time in Croatia due to the wind but I couldn't remember if he finished it off or not.
I see names I recognise in the start lists but the problem is unless I've had direct interaction or they're memorable then I don't know if I recognise them from dot watching or if I recognise them from being in a race I've also been in.
I met up with Ed Tapp from last year's TABR on Saturday and it was funny because he talked about how we split costs in a hotel room last year and I have zero recollection of it. I remember splitting with Ryan on two different nights but not Ed. I do remember Ed out-climbing me and I'd keep catching him on the descents and chatting about software for a bit and then drinking chocolate milk at a supermarket and then he disappeared until the finish but no hotel stay. I really should've written a post-race blog..

Good crib sheet! I've just scanned the list and there are no other names I recognise (and Jayne Wadsworth has now disappeared). Surprising, but shows that there are always loads of new people coming into this.
Paul has had to DNF the TCR twice so given up chasing that one. He posted on facebook that he did a 400 mile non-stop solo ride over the weekend, so getting back into shape.
