haha, after Mark R did 9.33 at Austria he has goaded me into trying to beat him at Roth as we tend to give each other a good race. It will probably be one of the fastest races I will ever enter in an IM so I need to make sure I have my training spot on.
I am confirming accomodation at 5pm tonight for those that are coming with me. If anyone else is interested after we take the rooms I have ready to book, they will have 1 double and 1 single left. EURO 80 per night for the double. Cheaper for the single. 1 min from the centre of Roth.
they are up to about 1850 competitors - it has slowed down - but I am no hoping it doesn't speed up for another couple of weeks now - working 60 hours this week and will be looking for extra next week as well - ANd hopefully all of September off as a holiday
First swim of the new regime last night - only 45 mins but tht was largely because my calves are still tight after the start of the new running regime and they were threatening to cramp - won't get any coached swims in for a couple of weeks
Started saving for my new pedals so I can do longer rides withour stuffing my knees up again
Sounds like we will be on a similar programme i.e from scratch. My 4th swim of the year will be tonight. The bike hasnt touched the tarmac since July last year (and that was Roth tarmac) but is now getting some use on the turbo until I can find some form of bike legs..... and as for my running - current non stop run has maxed at 55 mins.
It appears we both have a lot to do, but I reckon there is enough time to make a good show if it... {I hope...eek}
My plan for the rest of the year is to try and regain my waist using tri disciplines as the exercise part with yoga and weights thrown in - I figure dropping a couple of stones is the best thing I can do for my running and cycling
I do want to try and get a century ride in this year but on a day out pootle kind of basis not kill me for a month basis
LOL I know especially since I am deliberately startign from scratch and I am taking it easy because this new style is murder on your calves and achilles to start with :O)
Hollywood there are plans afoot for a new UK based long cource race in july - organised by the folks that do the new forest middle distance - and I apologise for what I am about to say - see tripe talk there is a thread about it on events
There are others Hollywood unless you have decided to just go and do Nice anyway - its not like you will be on your own, there will be one or two folks you know out there :O)
Right - stilla boy but at least they have my name the right way round
thinking about it I don't think I want to start with the boys - they will be big and nasty and hit and swim over me and stuff - girls would never do that would they :O|

I am currently a male and my names are the wrong way round - I am sure I got that right when I filled the form in.
Don't know much German but I know enough to spot that

How long do they take to take your money?
