Symes if people lived more than say 75 miles away from you then you could stay overnight....

we would just need a list of willing participants and postcodes

seren nos

you copuld pick up different people on the way

Symes

Seren - and so begins the growth of another Pirate monster! )

Meldy - love to but a certain Mrs S wouldn't be happy with me as it's anniversary time, if you can smooth it over with her though...

Gazmanmeister

Is there a plan to recce the bike and run course before the event?

Gazmanmeister

Well I wasn't quite thinking this month kk

seren nos

Gaz.I was thinking it would be agood idea but I seem to think that the course iws on that estate thingy so might not be easy to just turn up and ride around

debbo

Melds I think you'll find that all the best coaches are retired from the sport before they start coaching, so bugger off and leave me to coaching Symes



he's sacked his previous coach, so I have to stay on my toes or I'll be sacked too

Gazmanmeister

seren, perhaps we can email Steve later when we are thinking of doing one and see what he says.

Gertie

Gaz, it's a 10 lap bike course.  Your first lap can be the recce

Why don't you have a look at the route using Google Street view?

Gazmanmeister

There's a Start List available here 

kk, is that Mr kk doing the Ultra with you

seren nos

there is no women doing the triple................I could have won that

I believe that I might well be 2nd female finisher in the single

less than 14 weeks till it all kicks off.......................not long to go.....

i got out on my road bike......( well the old one) for the first time..............even managed 67 1/2 miles

Gazmanmeister

I'm working away (Ireland, since early Feb) and training is falling off, especially the bike, as I have no bike here (and I can't buy another )

Only home every 2 weeks, so biking when I can at the moment.

Seren - change to the Triple! I bet you could do it....

Seren - change to the Triple! I bet you could do it....

I think I would probably break myself trying..............I did think about the double originally but decided I was more interested at the moment in getting my single time down

I have probaly more trained than a few people doing it.I did do a 67 mile bike ride yesterday

Gaz i think your bike legs will come back no problems............I am concentrating on the running until VLM anyway

Gazmanmeister

Email received from Steve now has us starting at 6am Seren  

Monique

I might start training now.

seren nos

Symes

Courtesy of tripetalk a bit of a buff bargain if you like that sort of thing, apologies for the inability of my machine to do linky:

M...eldy

Linky thing


How many days have you been swimming for ?

Symes

seren nos

M...eldy

Nice swimming pieright!   When does the cycling start?  

M..o.use

Ok, who is this imposter?  What have you done with Symes?

Swimming???

FFS!

Symes

Imposter here again, I'll have you know I've done some biking too aktuly, only 1100 miles so far in 2011 but it's a start.

Monique

oh dear

This year-

swimming - 0

cycling- 57 miles

running-162

Symes

Mon - you'll be fine, you could do as the chap did in the race across america where he turned up with the intention of training as the event went on!

Totals for me tend to be a little bike biased:

swimming - 11.3 miles

cycling - 1158 miles

running - 30 miles

Monique

Cheers Symes, funny thing is my confidence is high, I never think I am incapable, I just need to do a bit of training so my body can catch up with my mind.

Monique

With that in mind I'm off out for a run, cheerio.
