Mackem · September 2005

That's bizarre - I use Safari and it hasn't updated since the race, whereas IE has the results!

ImRio · September 2005

What a bril day!!
I wasnt one of the quickest but as it was my birthday I had a brilliant time.

Saw Godz and Spans. Big admiration to you both. Well done to us all

What a fantastically organised race. Will do it again next year!!

Godzilla · September 2005

Well done Rio - was good wasn't it!

[Deleted User] · September 2005

nice photos spans and zilla - well done to you both :-)

[Deleted User] · September 2005

Great race! Finished in 2.15, the runs were poor, but 48 on the bike which I'm happy with!

[Deleted User] · September 2005

Rio - sorry i missed you, but i'm glad that you had a good birthday!!

Well done Chris.

How did everyone else do?

SusieBee I can't see you in the results were you there?

fat buddha · September 2005

well done guys - good pics as well........Spand should be DQ'd though for not having her number on her front during the run... ;O))))

and is that a sprint finish I detect from 'Zilla??

[Deleted User] · September 2005

all i can say to that FB is bl**dy tri belts, it constantly moved round, in fact it seemed to be around the side / back on the run and at the front for the cycle... grhh!... however I should have been d'qd for loosing so many places in the cycle... either that or given an award for managing to losse so many places!!

fat buddha · September 2005

tribelts can be a pain Spans as you have now found.....do what Petal does and drop it onto your hips for the run as it doesn't seem to move around as much then.........

now, with a bit of work on the bike you could be a top 3 contender........

great stuff all the same

[Deleted User] · September 2005

Well done guy's and fab phot's.........

[Deleted User] · September 2005

Well done to all!! Top piccies!!

Don Minquez · September 2005

How come Zill had a leg amputated just before the end? Hope the poor fella's ok...

[Deleted User] · September 2005

I wondered who the pirates I spotted were, well done to you two, and to everyone else who finished, I managed to just miss my target of 2hrs (finished in 2.00.05), but considering it was an extra km to run and almost 2km extra cycle, I'm pretty happy overall.

As my first experience of multi-discipline racing I thoroughly enjoyed it and can't wait to do another one.

Mackem · September 2005

OK, I'm looking at doing another one now before the end of the season and there seem to be 2 obvious candidates for me, both on October 30th: The Primera New Forest and the Jekyll and Hyde in Hyde Park. Anyone know anything about these (I can't find any threads on them)?

ImRio · September 2005

Anyone recommend another good one November onwards?

cougie · September 2005

Not that many in the winter - its not much fun racing in the cold.

[Deleted User] · September 2005

If anyone is interested there is an off-road series starting in Dec in Hampshire called the Monsterman Series, have a look at

www.gearsandtears.com

[Deleted User] · September 2005

Jekyll and Hyde - there are some details on the Serpentine website - don't have a link sorry. I know places are limited, so sign up quick!

ImRio · September 2005

Suppose not Cougie hadn't thought about that. Still gives me lots of time to do more training for the next one!

Thanks Richard I am going to do the Reindeer run in December (I live in Wales) but am not a big fan of off road! I hate mud reminds me too much of school cross country, which was a time when I would do anything to avoid running.

Godzilla · September 2005

Mackem - Primera new forest i did 1 of early this year - tough course and a good field (i was very nearly last) but good overall

Godzilla · September 2005

results are here

for March - 5k is a bit long

Mackem · September 2005

Taa Godzilla. Actually on the site they have last year's results and it looks like the October race is a lot easier/shorter. think I might go for the Hyde Park one though - easier

Mackem · September 2005

.... to get to for me (before I was interupted)!

[Deleted User] · September 2005

They have amended the results and not only have I gained 5 places overall, i have also gained 2 female places to make me perhaps 5th!

Was sorely tempted to go out and buy myself a bike on saturday after the event so that I can improved... but had to remind myself that apparently I have other targets first... but next year I will do more than 2 training sessions on the bike before the event!!

Godzilla · September 2005

getting rid of your other 2 bikes first should be one of those targets ;-)

[Deleted User] · September 2005

Now's the time to buy a heavily discounted bike before the new stock comes in......

Will any of you be doing the Duathlon in Ipswich next weekend?

[Deleted User] · September 2005

but surely there is enough room in my flat for another bike... I mean 4 is just not enough?!!

true Gumps, but as I want to get my 10k time down I need to concentrate on that and not get distracted...

[Deleted User] · September 2005

If you bike the 10k rahter than running you will be quicker.

[Deleted User] · September 2005

LOL - although I'm not so sure!!!

Howdy, Stranger!
