London triathlon start times

Postby timbo75 » Fri Jul 10, 2009 1:28 pm

I am entered for the London tri on 2 August, but don't know what the start times are. Has anyone received info from the organizers on this? I have tried to contact them but no response!

cheers T

The FAQs on the event site seem to indicate that it's not unusual for late info.

Start times were posted this morning.

I got early doors on the sunday. Not ideal!!! plus parking screwed up this year as well accoridng to the race pack.

Any idea why sunday morning racers rack on the sunday while the sunday afternoon racers rack on saturday. Seems a bit strange to me!!

This is to stop people getting tangled up with others racking whilst you are racing.

LT is a HYOOOOOOOGE event with thousands of people in transition.

So people racing Sun a.m can rack Sun a.m cos they arnt getting in anyones way, but people racing Sun p.m will be all over the place whilst the Sun a.m guys are trying to go through t1 or t2.

I know what I mean at least................... ;)

Sunday 630! Lord knows what time I'll have to get up for that or if I should even bother going to sleep :lol: At least if it is hot that day it won't be too bad at that time!

Can anyone confirm from previous experience if you actually need ID to register. I've been offered a place by a friend who is no longer able to compete.
When going through hell, you just need to keep going.

I got Sunday 8.30am, lovely, which means an early start (not as early as you Juniacroode) but early enough. Good job i got a hotel for Saturday night as i'm based in Manchester!! I reckon with it being so big they'll be quite tight with id although i havent fully read the race info yet.
