I think Slummo did this as his first IM did you beat him Barley?
5 completed 2 DNF
So you need to finish McIronman for a 6 2 score and 75 % success ratio
Or you balls up and end up with 5 nd 3 or 60% .... long bike anyone?
I actually found that an interesting read, but then I have a sad life!
More to the point... Where's the 56mph hill near MK?
Yes I guess it could be interesting in parts, I shall have a read back when ive a a little spare time.
It wasnt MK where I hit 56mph it was in Zurich at IM Switzerland. The longest nearest fast hill I could find near here was somewhere near Witchurch. If you go a little further south there are some beauties in the Chilterns. Still nothing with decent straights on smooth roads though.
*sigh*

days, my friend, we thought they'd ne-e-e-e-ver end....#
everyone was nice to each other, but it was still fun and funny.
A few points:
what happened to the lovely Superdaz?
how funny that our own Daz said he wasn't built for long distance tri.
RichM proved not to be soluble after all, even in a Norwegian sea.
my legs have grown two inches since page 5...
lol lol lol Jj,
I'll still not forget seeing you on the bike course and Daz on the run
it's firmly etched in my memory too, Carl.
It was also the first time I'd met Rosey!
yep - the feed station where you first saw me. That was Rosey's feed station.
I wuz helpin'.
<<<beams proudly>>>
yep I did this race my first IM distance 13 hours 22 mins
1.34 swim
6.30 Bike and a long wet run 5 hours 18 minutes if its on again I may be interested, and rosey was at the Chester tri aid station
Slummo
JJ you were there too wow !!
Funny no of us knew the other's were there and here we are now years later
Reminising over my first thread, 6 years, 30,000 posts and much tri godliness later
All hail Barley, the ultimate pirate
I remember our first meating...
