Did anybody else do the tri at Robina yesterday? My Garmin (and bike computer) logged the ride as 22K rather than the nominated 20k.

Anybody notice a similar result?

I got nearly 23km for the cycle on my bike compouter. swim seemed long to me too- maybe I just tooka wide line.

Had a good run though.

Was good day. Hot though.

I did the team event as did my son in another team. There are some odd results in the teams. For example my son is credited with a 12 minute 5K - in his dreams! Think the first leg of the run was added to the bike time in that case

Yeah, I know a few people with the same problem in the individual race

If you look at the results there are a ton of 'query' results for people.

My mates did it and felt the swim was long. Looking at times the winners are a few minutes longer than the last race the same distance. But that's tri's for ya. Who needs a measuring tape :good:

Bike course was long - I did the enticer because i still cannot swim 750 metres without use of an oxygen tank. Bike course was 11.5k registered on the garmin instead of 10k.

Beautiful day for it, didnt feel as hot as the last one there.

I don't doubt the swim wasn't long. They are 20min 750mtr swimmers after all. 200mtrs feels long for them :good:

The bike course may be dependant on where they can run it, and where they can do turn arounds etc.

I was in 1 of the last waves to go off...was a tad warm on the run !!
bike was 22km...same as usual for that course - to suit the turnaround points.
