Iron man Swansea 22

[Swanabout]

So, after completely closing gower for half a day, there's no footage available of any of it. Wtf
Wasted opportunity to show off our area. The council should have filmed it as an advertising vehicle at least

Took me over an hour to get to town from Mumbles on a road that was supposed to be open, Mumbles Road eastbound was the only way out of Mumbles. If we have it (Ironman) again, could they do the cycling and the running over Townhill and Morriston and give us a break please.
We already had the road closed on Friday and then again on Saturday and then this today.
I don’t want to come across as entitled at all, but only one road in and out of Mumbles and it’s blocked. Also most roads in Gower were closed too.
Rant over.
Sorry not quite, that game yesterday must have upset me more than I realised.

What arrangements were there for a fire engine or ambulance?

Congrats to all who participated (especially in the heat) but it was miserable getting around today.

Did make me wonder if South Wales could ever host the CW games though.

We’d probably just moan about it.

There's never a good time to host an event like that.
I will say though that the diversion signs worked well for me and I wasn't late to ground yesterday.

It's havoc down Pembs when the Tenby Ironman is on.

Apparently arrangements were in place in such circumstances.

Yesterday wasn’t so bad as Mumbles Road was open as far up as Sketty Lane and we could go through Sketty and up over the top and down Gors Avenue.

Apparently the event was worth about £2.5m to the Swansea economy but boo to it cos some people couldn’t get to Joe’s ice cream or something.

This is why Swansea doesn’t get nice things.

I hope you weren’t inconvenienced at all over the whole weekend. I mean that most sincerely.

We went to the Secret Beach bar for dinner. Worked around the road closures. Didn’t moan about it. There was an event on see.

Oh and lol to the suggestion to send the athletes to Townhill and Morriston next time. Fine to inconvenience those east side types see as long as the well heeled folks of Mumbles and Gower aren’t put out in any way. Heaven forfend.

There's always something going on throughout the summer , 10k run, half marathon, Airshow, Ironman. More events here than in New York.
