Hmmmmm, if I can do the bike only and a little bit if running after... I don't do water very well

fat buddha

hmm - I have a pass so will probably do the 1/2.......Petal might do the swim and bike but pass on the run

You bringing the RV, FB? 

I'll probably camp, although someone's posted an interesting comment from the campsite's 'rules'.  Something about families and couples over-23 only.  So FB...... or may I call you 'daddy' that weekend.....? 

fat buddha

only if you buy me shedloads of beer........

But, Daaaaaaaaaaaad!!  I'm not old enough.  How about two bottles of WKD Blue and some White Lightening*?

  

  

  

*remind me - is White Lightening the cider or the chain lube?  I always get them mixed up.

fat buddha

You mean that they aren't one and the same?  So all thouse years I was drinking the chain cleaner then I shouldn't have been.  Phew, lucky it didnt have any long term effect on me.

Spectators !

IronM.in

Hmmm... interesting tho... Will see how me hurty hip is...

Symes

Eccentric - poor excuse, you can bring them up for a night of camping before sending them a couple of miles down the road to Twycross Zoo while you take part...

SyM.es - exactly what I said over on TriTalk! I know it's May Bank Holiday, but will still be fun all round!

 C'mon - there's some merchandise to be ordered, with a £1 from each item going to Project Viper - the remainder is cost price, there are some non-TriTalk designs for you pirates, too:

 Cheers for the support guys - On top of this, I've had an episode of IM Talk named after me and am now the lucky owner of some Grammo socks, lidgend

I'm wavering! I was planning on doing the hmasterly hammer the same weekend but this sounds fun. I just went to TT to read the thread on it and found another thread for and energy drink:  powerthirst

so good it should probably have it's own thread. 

JPenno

Poet - how long in advance do you need confirmation that people are planning on attending, I am still working on getting a pass for that weekend, Its bank holiday and we have a family commitment BUT should be able to escape  if i do something with them on the Monday

cougie

It does sound like a good session for IMF - God knows i need the swim practice, and the bike cant hurt. I won't do a full mara though. That way I'll eaaaasily recover for the rest of the bank holiday. I hope.

Symes

I'm slightly scared at how cold the lake will be, might just do the bike and run

ToyotaCrown

you can always jump out of the lake at an earlier lap?

mellifera

isn't anyone going to look at the powerthirst?

i thought it was really funny 

[Deleted User]

MENERGY!!!

If only we could get them to sponser the event

we'd run like KENYANS

Jpenno - as long as we know by the friday morning should be no hassle - just so we keep an eye out for you!!

[Deleted User]

Don't be scared of the lake temp, put a wetsuit, booties, three hats and some webbed gloves on and you'll be fine

 Alternatively, just Vas up your feet and face and it should be reet!

[Deleted User]

I've got one of those plug-in heating-coil-type-things for camping - the one you put in a mug to heat up coffee (because all tents these days have 3-pin plug sockets....).  We could just drop that in the lake for 20-minutes or so before we jump in.  Toasty.

Crash Hamster

Right, management consulted, Squish and I would like to play, please. Not sure how far we'll go, but definitely full swim and a large chunk of the bike for Squish and probably a bit of the run for me too...

Hollywood (busy on runsaturday.com)

Oh bottom. I'm wavering about maybe doing more than just a half-IM bike distance now - and I'll probably go for a full distance swim (shoulder permitting) - but I might skip the run altogether - does anyone mind if I just find a pub somewhere on route and stand there shouting eye-ron-laydee?

Have I ever mentioned how much I hate cycling?

debbo

if I do it I probably won't swim - if the water is at all cold, and I'll do 5 bike laps and an as yet undetermined number of run laps - keeping my options open

shouts of eyeronlaydee will be most welcome Hollywood

Stump

Why? Is Hollywood an iron lady?

The Trickster

Don't be scared of the lake temp, put a wetsuit, booties, three hats and some webbed gloves on and you'll be fine

Or HTFU, whatever

[Deleted User]

,Not the HTFU, again!

 How has that managed to get itself onto RW?

Symes

At least we haven't had to use the panda yet...
