hmmm caspar in the circumstances, couldn't you leave out swimming until next March to ensure that you're fully recovered, and get bike time in until you can run, and then bike time with a bit of running?
i'd guess from Caspar's posting that he had an old injury that made his arm pop out... there's nothing in swimming, cycling or running that causes spontaneous out-poppage
Snake Pass is around 1700 foot high - so similar to that. But it's over 40 miles from the low point to the high point - so it's not as bad as you think.
Can't remember how long the Snake Pass is - but I've ridden it and it's only a few miles long. So it's not that bad.

I don't want to ask for a woggle inspection.
unless of course you are scott dempsey
Dear Scott, where has he been for the last few weeks eh?
I think I did see him post a normal thread once.
Could have been an imposter though.
(not since I stopped the MTBing anyway !)
he would have slipped some gender issues in somewhere on page 4 i guess...
you'll have to christen your new aero bars
when i post them
which will be tomorrow
watch this space - i dont need much convincing to do an ironman and if i feel i can in july then I might just sign up.
undortunaly july may be a little too soon for me to commit though, in which case if i do an ironman next year it may be at another location.
I may have to choose an event which doesnt sell out so fast or is later i the year such as canada or florida.
Failing that I could purchase titanium body parts on ebay
wooohoo!

Just incase.................
"looks like a nice course... two laps up and down a little hill on the bike"
Oh yeah, I just checked the website that "little hill'' is 2200ft high!!!!!!!
The climb is 1400ft to higher than Ben Nevis, s@d that.
Low point on the course seems to be about 600 feet - so it's only 1600 feet of climbing each lap. And there's 2 laps.
Can't remember how long the Snake Pass is - but I've ridden it and it's only a few miles long. So it's not that bad.
And just think of the descent eh ?
Jj - have fun at Doggets - and just sign the piece of paper that will be handed to you at some point later on in the evening.
