Long story extremely short...
I am signed up for Ironman Copenhagen on the 19/08/18, 4 days ago I was burned quite badly at work through no fault of my own and now I'm off sick, potentially needing skin grafts.
Looks like I'll be missing Ironman and seeing as I'm inside their 45 day deadline for deferral, likely I'm going to lose the £550 odd race entry.
Is this something I should be mentioning to work to see if they would cover the cost?
I'm not interested in suing them or even claiming for compo etc but the Ironman thing stings a bit.
What are your thoughts?
Edit- sorry I'm aware that this is of little relevance to the thread but I know you guys can likely relate to the situation... Not really sure who to ask for advice :/
Which model of Arione is it @merlin ?
R7 mang. Black with minor red detail, mint condition but absolutely no use to me or my sensitive backside.
The Rocky Mountains will do that for you. It's actually hard to map out rides without too much climbing, yesterday I just threw in plenty of big climbs to see what it would end up at.You always seem to have crazy climbing in your rides. I'd be about 5-6k feet on a 'hilly' 100 here.
@Shamrock If you still want this Arione then let me know ASAP otherwise it's going onto Ebay.

Thanks, if only that had a Large!
Slowing down for lights whilst riding in traffic completely screws your Strava average speeds right? Tonight it's 1.1mph slower than my Garmin recorded on a 32 mile ride which I stop when I slow for lights and any traffic slowing me heavily. 20.1 on Garmin, 19 on Strava. Tues, 35 miles, 20.6 on Garmin, 19.8 on Strava although I can understand the second due to having to slowly loop back as a set of lights screwed a kom attempt before it even started.
