  • Did he know he was short-cutting the course? Like, did they not have marshals or what?

    He'd plotted the route onto his Wahoo but got it wrong. There were copious marshals and signs. At the roundabout where the sign said carry on, he turned, missing out a steepish climb up to the actual turn. Twice. Then realised his mistake.

  • If he realised during the race how come he didn't bail? Buggered if I'd smash out 12hrs knowing it wouldn't count. Maybe he didn't know the rule.

  • I assume he thought it wouldn't matter.

  • i think once hes in a race he just goes full gas till he finishes, he knew hed been DQ'd from ironman wales this weekend for littering and still went on, running a 2:52 marathon despite the fact its less than 4 weeks from Kona so will now spend several weeks recovering and wont even have got paid for his exertions.... and probably wont do well enough in Kona to get paid either as a result*

    *hopefully he does as it looks like he's had a crap year with injuries and to get dq'd from two races is pretty unlucky even if they were both technically his own fault.
