Not well (recovering from a nasty cold virus). Sadly decided not to participate -
Old duffer - I am the same and probably won't be participating. May just do the swim then withdraw if I feel up to swimming. Will be there supporting if not participating
Ah, sorry to hear that mathschick - it's gonna be awesome down there!!
Change of plan - now heading for the 1100hrs briefing.
Sorry to hear you've got to miss it Duffer.
Any good bike mechanics out there, just been out to test the bike after my little accident and the hanger dangly bit seems to be catching on the spokes in certain gears, the important ones for going uphill.Not sure if just trying to bend it is a good idea or if things will break, knowing the sort of week I have had it would be more likely to break.
good luck all, have a fantastic day.
There should be a bike mechanic available at registration, there will be a bike shop selling their wares
Total Fitness Nottingham should have a bike mechanic at the Expo - they are an event partner.
Good luck everyone. I'll be at Wimbleball in a fortnight
good luck everyone
Have fun all, hope everything goes to plan for everyone
Good luck to all this weekend.. GO PIRATES!!!!!!!!

any news yet ?
Yay, Steady has finished.
A great result after all the issues she's had to deal with this week.
Yehhhhhh!!!! Well done Steady. Thats great news.
Any more results known?
thanks for the support today guys...the pirate group 1/2 a mile from the start was awesome (in best American)
Everyone finished
The engineer was quick, Saffers was smiling, I don't remember anyone's time, but everyone was great. It was very hot out there today.
Was great fun being on the support crew with SA, Mrs SA, Jordy, Lee the Pea, Dawn Shadow, Follow the bear and cake (hope I didn't forget anyone)
Well done everyone who raced and thanks to the rest of the support crew for a fun day
Pirate support today was great - thank you all. Apologies if I appeared a little unresponsive but I could either run or speak and the running took precedence
I did try to thumbs up or wave ever pirate whether supporting or competing, honest.
Not long home. Short story - all absolutely fine until just after half way through swim when asthma started. Managed to finish the swim though it did take three stops with a safety canoe (allowed as no progress made during them). Walked through to T1 as breathing was bad. Was really, really cold (have heard lake was 15C) and shivering so much for the first half of the bike course that it felt as if my front wheel was loose. Eventually warmed up and passed loads and loads of people (unsurprising given the poor swim and T1), bike split was averaging 19mph for the first two hours but slowed a little after that, mainly due to the course I think, to finish with a 18.1mph average. T2 was an improvement and nearer my usual (2.06) and I managed to do the run in 1.48.44 - not bad on half a lung. Finished in a disappointing 5.51.46. Unfortunately there then followed a considerable amount of time in the medical tent with a couple of nebulisers, steroids and some other drug I haven't heard of - think it began with an I and sounded a little like ibuprofen - and an enforced visit to A&E - where they took no further action.
Well done everyone, some great performances and some deserved good results (LittleClown, I'm looking at you).
Little Miss, sounds like you had a tough time of it, but well done indeed for coming back so strongly after suffering during the swim. Hope you get back to 100% soon.
Steady CJ, loving the pic on Outlaw's FB page of you crossing the line!
Cracking racing all of you
Had a blast supporting and meeting new people - congratulations to everyone who took part, you were all brilliant.
Support was absolutely incredible today guys - really gave me a lift every time I saw the little crowd of yellow and the jelly babies were greatly appreciated! Sorry I didn't get a chance to thank everyone in person - had to disappear fairly quickly as my other half wanted to get home (4am start and a long drive - not a good combo!). Really hope I can return the favour some day and support you at an event!
LMH - blimey, didn't realise you had been taken off the A&E - hope you are ok now, take it easy for a few days! Massively well done to you for finishing - must have been hard to slog it out with the asthma
LMH you're a freaking star I continue to be in awe of you! PS I will post the top out this week
Brilliant! Well done everyone
LMH - a race report already after all that I bow down in awe.. Hope you are feeling better.
CJ, loving your Outlaw picture, Fame at last
On a slightly different topic - any tips for removing race tattoos from sunburned arms?
