Just realised this is the same weekend as the Slateman in Snowdonia which I had pencilled in as an event to do, now I don't now which one to go for, so if it's ok I'll leave myself on the interested list for now as it's still a fair way off.
Bas news that my son will not be able to do this one so that will probably mean OH will have to miss as well.......just looked up the AS level exams and he has one on the Monday meaning a long weekend away would not be the best idea........
I will still be there though......
the upside is that he will not have any exams after the half term and so will be able to fully support me in the double by staying up all night to sherpa for me......
The bacon roll won't be as good as this year tho, Seren
Good luck with the training all.
I would have loved to have done this and very good of you tooffer to doit.But it clashes with a MTB weekend at Glentress. Which if you are into MTB will know that is the daddy of them all so got to go
But thanks anyway and enjoy

Probably bowing out of this as I will be doing an Irish half (no irish jokes
) the week before to save me the cost of the ferry, which can lay waste to my bank balance more than flying to USA.
I hope everyone has a great weekend, and that it is as roaring a success and as great fun as I think it will be (does that make sense?
)

OK, so here’s how it going to work
The same will apply to both Saturday and Sunday
Start with a gentle 1 mile cycle to the swimming pool from our house at approx 09:45, the pool opens at 10:00 (there are swimming lessons on a Saturday morning, so it can get busy then).
There are bike stands just by the entrance and there will be someone watching your bikes at all times, so feel free to lay out any extra kit you want there as this will save time faffing around with lockers etc.
It is a 25M pool, so you will need to do 76 lengths; it is up to yourselves to count to the correct number.
Upon exiting the pool you have approx ¾ of mile cycle to get to the start of the laps, you will then complete 11 laps of a 5 mile course; there will be 1 feed station on the course, so you pass this 11 times on the bike.
When you have finished your 11th lap, you will then have 1 mile left (mostly downhill as well) to complete the bike section.
Depending on weather as to if transition 2 will be covered or not.
On exiting T2 you will attempt to run 4 laps of a 3 ¼ mile run, there will be a feed station at the same point as the bike course which you will pass 4 times, there will also be a feed station at T2 which is also the finish, you pass this 4 times, well 3 times plus the time in T2.
For the bike course I will be able to supply water, if you bring your own bottles, which will be returned, if you need any special drinks or gels please bring these with you and mark then up so they can be handed to you on the course.
For the run I will supply water and coke any other drinks gels etc you require please bring them with you and mark them so they can be handed to you on the run.
With it starting at 10:00 I would expect everybody to have finished by 20:00 giving 10 hours to complete, we will hopefully then be able to have to some food for those wishing to. On Sunday we may well crack open a few beers as well.
I always treat it like a race, but it’s up to you, I won’t be draft anyone, but if a few want to go round together then that’s fine, they are no hard and fast rules.
I still hope to be able to give out a t-shirt for people helping / competing but will finalise this later when we have a better idea on numbers
SA
I would happily supply a couple of trays of flapjack. This could end up being more of a village fête and bake sale than a Half Ironman triathlon if you get your own way Cake!
Are you driving from Sheffield by any chance? Would you happen to have space for a bike/boy combination if so?
Yeah I wouldnt fancy that. I've looked at trains from Chesterfield and they only take about 1:40 and go through Stockport, so it's not the end of the world if not. I think I will be doing the Saturday and just heading up in the morning before starting... great Grandma's 90th birthday the Sunday so won't be able to stick around for that unfortunately!!
