You got to be in it to win it right 🤪🤪. Well maybe not my first race 😜 but should be a load of fun and pain. 2nd race of 2020 @GoZwiftTri who would have through that a few months ago 🤷‍♂️👊🏁 #StayHomeSaveLives https://t.co/gda5PsdsyH

I'll be abandoning @jodiestar with the #threeunderthree for an hour this afternoon to have some fun on Zwift with a few of my peers around the world. Not sure my legs are up to it after three weeks of extreme taper (read: not training), but we'll give it a bash… . You can watch live. 16:45 SAST. Follow @gozwifttriathlon for details and link.
