Greeting earthlings, from the planet TriTalk. I come in peace.
Do any of you lot fancy doing a free full or half IronMan distance event? It's 'self-supported' hence free. We're currently looking at early May 2008, May 3rd poss, or 10/11th... We could do with some friendly pirate types to swell numbers. More details on the TriTalk thread. Any ideas/input welcomed.
It's based at Market Bosworth in Leicestershire, 1485 Tri's open water swimming lake.
Bike is 6 Laps of 30km, using the junction or the boot of your car as the aid station. From the junction to the Water Trust car park is about 400m, so you could end up doing an extra 2km! 6 Laps could be a little boring, but logistically it's the best bet, to be sure of refilling every hour. Each loop only has 61m of climbing, so the total ascent is just 366m.
The Run is out and back along the Ashby-de-la-Zouch canal path. A nice, forgiving, compacted canal path. You won't find a flatter marathon than this, with a total ascent of approximately 100m (self-calculated). The turn around point is at Snarestone. At this 'aid' station is a pub and a payphone, perfect for a Guinness whilst calling back to the finish to order your finishers meal to be thrown on the BBQ for an hour or two's time!
Comments
I may comedown for a swim then help put as I can.
Will read the thread tonight and comment on there in my tri-talk gusie
Bollox. Just to annoy you by having done double the number of IM's that you had this year then I would have done it, but I'm referring in Kendall on the 4th, and Wilslow on the 11th. Now whilst that shouldn't in theory matter if the race was on the 10th, then I can't really risk it in case something goes wrong as that's a fully sold out race and it's too selfish.
Good idea though.
What, no t-shirt, TC? Humbug!!!
I'll run it by the old enemy - but could be on for the full distance if it's on May 3rd.
actually I'm kind of interested in doing the 1/2 so will check with t'other half to see is she'll sherpa or even maybe do it as part of her IMF training
what's the max numbers you're likely to want??
who would have credited it eh?? some Tripetalkers with brains
well be optional t-shirts
Nah already got one tritalk top.................
I would go and post over there, but it's so cliquey.....
;-)
This one is different and is for a good cause...
May 3rd, Saturday.
It is the BH - it's a great venue for the kids as the zoo is only 8 miles away for the OH to take them
D74 - loads of time to get up to Kendal for Keswick Tri after the Saturday!
quote D74 "First time TC's been described as the Tri-Talker with brains! "
Yeah steady on. I have won the TriTalk WhiteCoat (nutter) award last 2 years in a row you know!
Free IM events ... let's hope the trend catches on !
Will check with She Who Must Be Obeyed ....
Gosh - are TripeTalk trying to make Rodale look good?
