This will be first IM, I helped marshall their last year to see what the event was like. A few weeks ago I went down their and did a lap of the cycle course, it was hillier than I expected.    Report

When I did it their was a noticable wind from the NW and some hail when I get to the downhill bit. Plan to finish in under 17 hours however my current estimation/guess is 13-14 hours (ish).    Report

I went over at lunch time (I live locally) to register and went round most of the bike course on my motorbike. It's all pulling together and looks VERY imminent.  Oh it is! Strange - I've cycled the bike course a few times (never three in a row!!!) but it seems a LOT longer on the motorbike today. Homer Simpson is still there beside the Cerne Giant although he's a little brown now....  You have to look back quickly as you go past the viewing car park but please don't crash.  Unfortunately we're cycling the wrong way to get a good view. It was pretty wet today but the forecast is OK for Sunday.  I'm kind of worried I've got a cold coming on (after Sunday's Swanage Tri).  Oh dear.  Bed early and plenty of Vit C.    Report
