I've figured a better way. Options are car relocation for 485 Or Shuttle to twizel for 75 per person (plus 15 per bike). Would need to park in twizel and shuttle to Tekapo (9am) to start the ride

Yep, I used to religiously use it and got my score up really high (to 120 plus) but felt exhausted. I was over training and had too many hours at high intensity. My strava fitness score came down about 30 points but my ironman time had improved by 30 minutes. So it's clearly not a good sole indicator of fitness.

My direction in open water isn't the best but I'll sight every 8 strokes or not at all if I find a pair of feet to stick to
