Just found out that my text to Mon went to Mum, which caused some confusion. Well I wasn't wearing the right specs.

Oops!

I'd like to wish everyone good luck and good weather! I'm sooooo glad it's not me this year, I hate getting up at unearthly hours...

I have started training on the bike..................anyone any idea of what the bike course is like.............I only have 9 months left................

GOM.

This is the route that has been planned so far

http://connect.garmin.com/player/33619514

You will have to do 10 laps to complete the distance!

seren nos

thanks Gom.............I paniced for a minute before I realised it was in feet not metres............looks like quiet country lanes..............you will probably be off the bike before i get on there

I would hope so, if we're not off the bike before Sunday morning, knocking out a 78 mile run before the cut-off could be a bit tricky

the roads are quite quiet.  You'll have to watch out for the New Forest ponies who WILL  walk out in front of you and make you stop.

Glad I won't be doing it in the dark then.............

GOM.

That is why I am going to get the biggest fecking light I can find for the front of my bike!

seren nos

Just don't shine it in the direction of my tent when you go past and i'm fast asleep.......you only have to go around 30 times don't you...........someone suggested tape on handlebars.....thats a lot of tape..........

not sure how you will attach the 78 bits of tape on you for the run.....or the 39 bits of tape for the swim.......you will be like a goldfish

GOM.

29 for the triple! And I won't be using tape, don't want to think about the distance, run the bike until you finish, run walk crawl until you finish!

seren nos

Is it too early to get excited about this

Gazmanmeister

I'll be another year older when I finish

Daz

Anyone else doing dub iron lanze in feb?  The entry list is a little short at the moment, although there are a few more names that should be added.

Symes

Afternoon all, if you fancy suggesting training sessions and the like here's where, sadly no opportunity to have a website built. http://wp.me/p1akRc-4 although it's all new to me so you could end up anywhere in webland...

Swim lots, bike lots and run lots

Symes deca blog

that's better eh??

Symes

Cheers FB, iPhone not a good thing for linkies

seren nos

goodstart on the blog..........

Impressed that you are aiming for 15 hours each day when you have 17 hours i believe..........I take it the balance is to allow time for punctures..........

DTB Ultra Cake Pimp

lol Seren

g'luck Symes, will follow the blog with interest, and vicariously train through you whilst sitting here getting fat.

Gazmanmeister

Ok, so heres a question re the 26 laps to be run off road. Trainers to Trail shoes ?

Symes

I'd have thought the trail will be pretty well run flat by the time you get there from our previous 26 laps a day and so normal running shoes should be fine. I may well be in sandals by then from some of the reports I've read.

Sit rep: November mileage - Swim err, 0, Bike - 418, Run - 21, slight bias there but that is a bit deliberate.

I'd like to thank my new coach Debbo for her suggestion of not swimming for a while, my kind of plan!

seren nos

symes...............good cycling............you should cycle out to different formites houses....neet them for a cycle ride and then you could cycle home.or they could cycle part of the way home with you................that way you wouldn't get bored as you would be going to lots of different areas

M...eldy

You dont want to listen to her ... she retired !!

Symes

Seren, nice idea, can I leave you in charge of logistics?!! The other suggestion for training to simulate the day was from Mon/Dave who came up with the idea of Land's End - JO'G, hmmm

Meldy, you know she's right though surely

M...eldy

That Mon is a wise old bird, can you do it this weekend and call in on Manchester Saturday night?
