For gods sake you bunch of nancy's. I know I first posted the weather but it was more to ensure people did not turn up in short sleeves when it was freezing. You can't choose the weather on race day so just bloomin well get out there and train. It's the same for everyone.

I can get you all some wool if you would prefer to knit for the weekend.

Rant over. I love you all :-)

:op

Strange you should mention that MrW - I was just about to look up the ferry timetable as there is a bail out point about 3/4 round the route.

erm - that last post of mine may have come across better face to face rather than in a written forum

Calf

Gumps for leading the bike ride then!

Lindi - Coniston number is in the post

M.ister W

I was joking but if there's a ferry back.........

<makes note to pack some more warm clothes>

I'm on a train that is supposedly going to get me to windermere for 4:30. Its not a bad trip from the looks of things as long as everything runs on time. Depending on how bad the hills look, i'll be in touch ava. This is going to be good fun-its been a long time since i trained with anyone. Lets hope the wind dies down a bit before the weekend-as has been said, i don't mind the snow/rain, but wind is just annoying!

Calf

Mike If you getting the train to windermere then its all down hill to the lake where I'think' the youth hostel is...

Would fancy getting back up the hill with all your kit thou.

Avalaf

YOu need to put your Ironman race day head on which says
"Wind is good as you don't need to ride as far to get 5 hours training in"

The Trickster

Hi all, popped in to wish everyone a very good w/end. Wish I was coming to join in the fun. Have a great time.

Lindi - Livin' the dream :-)

Please can someone volunteer to bring a turbo trainer with them so that Stuart can give some sizing advice.

Thanks :-)

Avalaf

I'll bring one if you like.

Lindi - Livin' the dream :-)

and if someone can bring a laptop with a DVD player I can bring the Ironman Switzerland DVD for you to have a look at.

Lindi - Livin' the dream :-)

Thanks Ava that will be fantastic :-)

i think i'm going to have to pull out of the training weekend. I'm gutted. Been really looking forward to it. But I'm now on call on Friday night into Saturday am, so wouldn't be able to get there till late, and as I'm not allowed to swim or run until the stitches in my knee are out on Monday, it seems like a long way to go for not very much time and purpose...i can just as well do a couple of long bikes here and i can't really justify the travel time as it is with exams on the horizon

sympathy via e-mail, post-card and carrier pigeon please...!!!

but i hope you all have a good time...

Avalaf

Bad news Ergo, people are dropping like newbie cyclists with spds.

I'll have my lap top with me Lindi as I'm coming straight from a meeting.

debbo

I could bring my turbo too, so all these southerners who can't cycle in the wind can stay indoors and knit...

Avalaf

OK, not directly related to the weekend but could anyone tape the doug haston program at 9pm on bbc2 for me, I'll bring a blank tape as a replacement.

I won't be at home to tape it and the chances of me setting up the VCR properly are at best slim and the cats still haven't worked out how to press the record button at the right time yet either.

Iron Mike

Jeez it will just be me lindi and carl on a romantic weekend soon at this rate!

If somebody is bringing a laptop then i will bring along the IMDE DVD i have from last year then.

AndrewSmith

Of course if you want some real entertainment you can borrow my norseman dvd, I am in it. What more could you want...

Just don't let carl masturbate over it.

M...eldy

How eloquent Smiffy



Debs you may be glad of our knitting when it turns cold !!!

Iron Mike

I'd better not hear any 'funny noises' in the night barlist assuming we are sharing a dorm...

One of my most vivid memories of staying in a youth hostel dorm was waking up the next morning to find my sleeping bag soaking wet. On closer inspection i found assorted vegetables from dinner the night before. My mate had been sick in the night on the bed above me, and had managed to chuck on me en route to the toilets. In fact, bagsy a top bunk should it be that sort of layout!

M...eldy

Eeewwwwwwwwww

Donald

What time are you arriving Iron Mike? 4:30ish? I think all the top bunks may have gone by then...


Thanks for the tip anyway ;-)




[reminder to self: top bunk a loooong way away from Carl]

M...eldy

you are assuming there will be beds ...........

Donald

you are assuming that a top bunk means a bed ......
