London Tri E-mail

Ben Lambert would like to share his embarrassing moment with you!

Thought I would give you a brief outline of the weekend. I did the sprint race for the second time. My heat alone had 550 competitors, so crazily busy.

Within the melée I had what felt like a fairly decent race. Anyway I looked at the results yesterday morning only to find no trace of my time....it wasn't until I emptied my kit bag afterwards that I found the timing chip in the bottom. I had put the strap on my ankle in a rush to the start line without noticing the obvious problem - IDIOT!

Thankfully my girlfriend timed me at 1.21.09 which would have put me 59th overall....I'm happy to have the story recounted as a lesson to myself through sheer embarrassment :(

Cheers,
Ben
