Hi @BritTri on behalf of one of my athletes, can you please give one example of a UK based middle distance aquabike with >50 female entries, or one that runs concurrently with a middle distance tri with >100 female entries, that would count as an accepted race? Because we can't
First they came for the refugees, then they came for drag queens and trans men & women, next up was protesters, then they came for lawyers, next was the turn of climate presenters and national treasures, and now theyโve come for sports presenters.
You donโt have to agree with all of the above, but you do need to defend their rights, because if you donโt, then when they come for you too, whoโll still want to stand at your side.
Put aside your prejudices, hatred and fear is their weapon of choice, rise above it, youโre better that this, and them.
The Government are systematically targeting dissent and silencing criticism, theyโre controlling our public broadcaster, and the narrative, because thatโs all they have left.
This is a pivotal moment, a slice of history, you only need to decide if you want to be able to hold your head high and say that you stood against tyranny and creeping fascism, or forever regret enabling it.

@alexdowsett Moana and lion king are always winners. Stay away from cocomelon for as long as possible for your own sanity. The last thing you need on a long training ride/run is those in your head. ๐คฃ
The Tories blocked my Bill to extend free school meals to all primary school kids last week.
The week before that they rejected a motion to end private schools' ยฃ1,700,000,000 tax break.

@DSS123@bbculp@IRONMANtri@TriathleteMag Yup agreed. Kona is now more about the depth of your pockets than the depth of your talent (or aero wheels). I used to see it as impressive to qualify... until i turned down a '22 slot having walked the marathon with injury. If you can walk and qualify, it's too easy.
@DSS123@bbculp@IRONMANtri@TriathleteMag I think reduce the overall numbers of WC slots to give the race more credibility, then it can go back being held on one day. (Fewer athletes = Less drafting too). But that would require integrity over financial greed on the part of Ironman. ๐คท๐ผโโ๏ธ
When Rishi Sunak casually told a room full of journalists he planned new legislation to restrict the right of workers to strike not a single one reminded him the right to strike is fundamental to any democracy - so letโs do it for them

This was an absolute disgrace. How is it even possible a room full of journalists could allow the Prime Minister to get away with this much bull****!
If you want the public to know the TRUTH make sure everyone you know watches this
Little maths problem for you: if I give ยฃ630million to my mates for PPE equipment that can't be used, how many nurses could I have employed instead?
