Or a bucket?
and a hamster cage in the tent
Does anyone have my white LG armwarmers? I gave them to a pirate supporting before the finish chute. Can't remember who though....
So do I.
Ace to read so many race reports! Such a privilege to be there supporting you all
Podds, so sorry about your wayward top and arm warmers - if I'd have been less dozy I would have picked them up and kept hold of them - but clearly I was working under the assumption that all-pirates-know-all-other-pirates-and-can-recognise-their-clothing (and I'd been standing up and shouting for about 11 hours by that point - not a good defence, but the only one I've got!) 
erm.......I think a pirate dog sort of got hold of a lot of clothes left for looking after. I witnessed a pair of socks and a cap at least. I confess that I laughed but I didn't have a game of tug of war with a wayward sock and a dog, oh no.
Purple will back me up here.
We will be taking standard swim, transition 1, bike, transition 2 & run splits, we are also taking the following splits with the approximate
distances:
Don't worry Cat - they're partying with my blue ones and what used to be a rather fetching grey and pink lycra hoodie somewhere in Nottingham.....
Guess summer had best put in an appearance or we'll get cold arms
I came i swam/cycled/ran and left my ironman virginity behind.
that was big day and the pirate support was overwhelming
thanks to all of you!
What to do next? well there is lying on the beach, surfing, smelling the roses and sweet nothing.
Cheers FB. Top mentoring from a top bloke. Thank you.
The name will go when (if) the buzz wears off. Now, is IMW sold out?
still places at wales.though over £400
Er Cake I think you mean the Jetstream, i.e. high level air currents that travel around the globe. The Gulf stream is an ocean current and if it had moved that far south we'd have polar bears doing OW with us!!
Tempting....
Sounds like my "warm-up" swim the week before Marshman
I think we should start a TV show called Cake Does Science, starring the man himself, a bottle of Glayva and maybe a cameo from Brian Cox.
yep
Justslyly looking at it in geek moments and wondering at the moment. 
does anyone know why Bruce Lee was DQ'd?
he was really lovely - gee'd me on when i was flagging towards the end of the bike! so im gutted to hear he was DQ'd
i recall one pirate took a photo of the DQ list and the reasons
Cake - you wouldn't have been on that list as it was a list of penalties handed out by the BTF refs, not any data on DNF's. of the 5 DQ's, one was for abuse of officials in registration, one caught urinating in public (unlucky - that could have caught a few out reading the reports!!), the other 3 I don't recall. loads of 2min penalties for drafting and a few other time penalties for various things
The other three were for dangerous riding, I think.
Oh, apart from the one for inappropriate dress (the guy in speedos & crop top), although he may have been reinstated later.
The Funkins took a picture of the penalty listing. There was (originally) also a DQ for insufficient clothing, but I did read (on one of the Outlaw related threads) that this had been reclassified to a time penalty
Edit: x-post with DD
yeh - he was originally DQ'd for that (rulebook now says you can't have more than 10cm of flesh between the top of the bottoms and bottom of the top) as it's "illegal equipment" but he seems to have won an appeal I guess. he should have been DQ'd on "fashion from the 90's" grounds....
RBM - it only applies to those racing under BTF or ITU rules and that's decided by the event organiser. WTC and Challenge have different rules and Faris and Phil Graves tend to race in those events so aren't confined so much.
if you look at elite and GB age group kit, they are now all rear zipped so you can't bare your nips and are designed to avoid the muffin rolls being seen. it's partly a sop to the sponsors who want their logos to be read without a bloody big zip going through it or having someone's knockers distract.
Got to admit that guy gave us a laugh every time he came past! Thought it was a girl to start with and then realised it was a bloke. Mr TST wondered if he'd left his stuff at home and had to borrow his girlfriends knickers!
Did anyone else see the lass running holding her Ipod, and with headphones in her ears?
( and No it wasn't one of the non racers, as she had a race number on )
