I really don't want to turn up at the feed station honking of duck shit (and I'm sure Trogs doesn't want the car to stink of it either), so a post-swim shower will be required. Will decide on Sat whether to use changing room locker or just campsite showers.
I hate taper. I feel like a hypochondriac feeling every twinge and cough. Both the kids and wife have a cold. I should be sympathetic, but I am too busy keeping my distance from them!
On the day I won't be wearing full pirate gear sadly
This is because I am representing a charity team but I will have my pirate arm warmers if it is a bit chilly on the bike and my pirate cap on the run. If anyone sees someone in an "Ironcoppers" yellow and blue tri suit that has a pair of handcuffs on it, please give me a shout!
Also won't be in Pirate gear, family bought me a Skins two piece .
pirate armearmers for bike and pirate hat for the run is a great way of mixing the pirate colours with something else you have to wear
im backing out of this one now.....
3 weeks of severe CBA after nice, and I am just getting going again, so don't fancy another month off post outlaw.
race well people, oh and Mr engineer - cane that bike course!
onwards and upward to IM Barcelona
OC - you not attending at all?
Sorry to hear that OC
I think last year I put a transition bag in the 'recovery' tent where the day bags go. Wash stuff and change of clothes in there, used locker room showers post swim then headed off to feed station
Oddly I had two people ask if I was f***ing mad yesterday on mentioning this was my first tri, nailed on for a DNF apparently, I'll show the basta
Graeme....it ha been done before by a number of pirates so don't worry it can and has been done
It's my first tri too Graeme, i've had the same comments. Though fortunately not from my GP who is doing the best he can to get me to the start line. I'm tapering with only swimming practice and anti inflamatories.
going to the pub for fish and chips and a beer,...........a lot of us from the campsite will be going
Our normal pub burnt down.I know Cake put a link to another a few pages back...I imagine if its alright on the friday we will go back on the saturday.......
but best to watch out here or facebook for updates...........
we are renowned for not making decisions,,,,
You speak for yourself Seren !!
I was going to type.........or ask Meldy as she will decide for us
Easy 2hrs turned into a quicker 90mins today with a good pb on an uphill Strava segment and 3 secs off a KOM on a 1k flat segment. Hours run straight after and then new tyres and tubes and a clean of my bike
im still looking to borrow a visor if anyone has got one? otherwise i will be without pirate kit and i have a feeling i will need all the cheering i can get!
Have got a cap you can borrow? Would that suffice?
Budjude.just tidied up inder my stairs an found one.will hand wash it and bring it,.....I don't think o have promised it to anyone else.getting forgetful in my old age
@MrsDigger - if no one else claims the hat, I'd like to borrow it. I did put an order in for one, but looks like there's not enough people to get an order together.
Hello all. Just popping in to wish everyone lots and lots of luck at Outlaw this weekend. I'll not be there as i'll be in Zurich supporting Ironbaws who's doing IM Switzerland. Hope the weather is slightly cooler than it was last year, but not too cold or wet. Race strong everyone, and just don't be shit!
Aye, should be fine Tom!
This is the pub I was on about if people are interested link
I've bring spare kit with me at the weekend because someone always forget's Bud if you want to borrow that pirate monico again you've got first dibs mate. Afraid will need the cycle top.
seren that would be great. cheers for the offer cake but i have got the run leg sorted - be quiet nice to be under the radar on the bike as well i think.
