Pallant is on the start list for World Triathlon Long Distance Worlds. So is Charles-Barclay
Aware of that. I cannot believe Charles will race for a pittance. Maybe she has been nominated as an alternate also, which would be another aberration - having a reserve on whom Europe might depend last minute who has just started running again after 8 months off! Would be irrational (but she has got lots of Insta and yt followers, so maybe a commercially-led option). Guess her run would be extra interesting.
Lucy will race the ITU World Champs. She needs a race to test where she is at to see if she is going to push to go to Kona.
It also keeps her options opens with Brit Tri. The window is open for Paris so she could do with doing some of the end of season races.
The cunning idea of trying to make Team GBR for Paris seems a pipe dream now. I guess we'll just have to wait till she comes through the denial phase. Before the injury it was borderline possible: now it's not. British Triathlon will not squander resources and WTCS start slots on her. They have medals to win, not insta likes to harvest, and have podium standard athletes performing right now.
