Hello everyone... I wasn't sure where to put this but.. a HUGE thank you to Cougie and Tim for the fantastic Pirate support on sunday at Oulton Park and in particular for cheering me over the finish line despite me being almost last Thanks Guys you were awesome!
Well done girl.. Duathlons are hard. I wouldn't want to run before AND after the bike...
may be..... but most of you aren't sooo far behind that even the marshals have scarpered!
though in fairness as it was repeated laps of a racing circuit it was hard to get lost!
oh and Farnie for when you're back - I did the nnnnnnnneeeeeeeeeeooooooooowwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww on the last bike lap and giggled to myself thinking of you
Cal, my lovely, I was in EXACTLY the same position a week ago at the duathlon I did! I came 169th out of 171 people but was physically the last person (as about 20 people started 15 mins before the rest of us). I ran 9 min miles for the first 5k run was last by quite a way when I got on the bike so in my eyes, it was a VERY strong field! Don't be dis-heartened flower but I did keep laughing as there men in a white van following me round the bike course taking signs down after I passed them!! It meant I got LOADS of cheers from them though!! One was quite fit as well.... Then I was last on the second run and they must've sent out a boy to usher me along and he was a real hottie and did he whole of the second run with me, gave me advice, kept me company and most importantly,gave me something pretty to look at! Oh yes you'd better believe I flirted!! Ha ha!
Thanks Aitch. PMSL at your being able to flirt and run!! Thats multitasking at its best! Go girl Well done to you and Callycat for some fab racing Farnie will be proud of the Nnnnnnnneeeeeoooooowwwwwwwwing
H - Well done on the flirting! There would be no point me flirting on the last 5k of any race, I always look deranged by that point!! (and Mr DG probably wouldn't approve anyway!)
put it on a facebook/flickr etc page and then right click on image to get image address then cut and paste address in the image box in the menu bit above the message box
*edited to try and get it to make sense....and then gave up*
Thats seems to make sense - I think! will give it a go
While I'm here, can someone please help me with thekit order form? I want a tri suit, someone said its a skin, but thats not on the list. Is a 'monaco' or a 'girls tank ' code words for tri suit?
monaco is the mens top with a zip and the girls tank has a racer back and in teeeeenie sizes!
neither are flattering so it's personal choice -take a look at the nantwich pics as there were a mixture worn there... it might help you make up your mind.
you could email Lindi about the cost of the skins (tri suits) and then send a separate cheque just in case but if there aren't at least 16 people wanting one they won't be able to get them to you.
but what do I know - I'm just pretending to be a pirate
Have put piccie on FLAPS FB page, can't seem to get it in here, I'm on a mac not pc and don't have a right click thingy - also, not great with puters, so don't really know what I'm doing!
I'm also on a mac (they're great!) to 'right click' hold down ctrl and then click it'll give you a right click menu the secret with mac's is to learn the short cuts.. like apple c = copy/apple v = paste etc etc
I can put the pic on here from the flap page if you like?
Blimey, I've been a mac person for years, you'd think I'd know by now! Cheers Cally yeah you can if you want, its not a great picture, but shows a nice day, and I'm smiling, even tho it was near the end!
where are the nantwich pics? I'm so not great at this

Well done. Nice you had support too.
I did really like it - particularly the bike bit ... much more fun than running
the results are up and I came 169th..... out of 170 finishers
I also managed to waste an astonishing 4.5 mins in transitions which is even more unbelievable considering I didn't even have to change my shoes!
....I really have to stop thinking of transitions as a little break between events which don't count towards the time
though in fairness as it was repeated laps of a racing circuit it was hard to get lost!

hope your knee gets fixed soon Sprocket x
ooh whatcha doing on sunday?
(and some neeeeeoooooowwwwww's too!)
Well done again Cal.
H - Well done on the flirting! There would be no point me flirting on the last 5k of any race, I always look deranged by that point!! (and Mr DG probably wouldn't approve anyway!)
Course he would, DG!
He's the biggest flirt of em all.....
