mhvh 165 Report post Posted May 10, 2018 Apparently you can get up to 5 days of you work for the government if its - for the Olympics , Commonwealth Games or World Championships (conditions apply), but apparently AG Triathlon Championships meet the criteria. Seems strange, but there you go. I might have a go for next year. 5 days free for my European holiday Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Might not be a bad thing! Plus somehow we have navy blue shorts and a dark charcoal tee with a solitary green sleeve stripe. Not the greatest match.
