it was a cheapo watch I bought several yrs ago, and had repaired and used again, so it owes me nothing. Im going back there tonight and I will ask them if they found it and if so I will see if I can get it fixed.
I have about 4 other watches that the same thing happened to (plastic lane rope broke the watch fastener strap) that I got repaired, so Im not too worried, and the tri club will have my splits fairly soon.....
now that the triathlon is over, my only focus now will be swimming until the world masters in Italy.....

Is that when your wrist clashes with the solid lane ropes ? I have a purple bruised wrist from saturday, where i was trying to keep close to the left all the time....

[Limerick]
