Pirate Records, Rankings and Shieldholders

i think that FLorida is easier because of poor standards, not timing. if anything, i reckon that the timing is bad for florida (eg people can do that, then still have a good crack at a summer one). conversely i reckon that the UK is easier to qualify at due to timing - lots of the better people have already got slots, and people aiming for a serious crack at hawaii wouldn't bother with the UK as its too close.

the trouble with the UK is that its allegedly crap and they allegedly threaten to sue a large proportion of the pirates that attempt it in the name of free speech.

i shall test my theory that the standard is poor across the US when i do arizona. if i finish in the top quartile again, then they are obviously rubbish.

hmmmmmmm lets see. Top 1/4 is always my benchmark in a race. If I can get into that I feel I did good...I knew I did poorly at the Vit and was outside the top 25%. Still Lanza or Hawaii..... If I did a US race and then failed to make a slot..that would be gutting too.

doesn't look too shabby to me!

lol when i get into the upper quartile its only because the other three are exceptionally crap. fortunately doing hawaii has never appealed to me, due to my goatlike dislike of pop culture.

I know it's flat...but these aint slow times...maybe just forget about Kona then

lake placid might be harder as its the north america "champs". difficult to say though, it depends on the course. you wouldn't qualify from florida unless you were close to 9:30, which might look tougher on paper but isn't.

why do girls have to go sub 12 to be reasonably competitent (sp)? If you're going to be ageist you may as well be sexist as well!

9:30 isn't tough? BLOODY HELL! I hope I'm finished the bike leg at IMDE in 9:30.

I dont see how a DNF scored you -1 Surely there should be some recognition for having a go rather than a penalty.

So you can sit on your ass at home watching Eastenders omnibus stuffing your face with smarties and score 0 but you swim, bike, run to within 10 miles of the finish and get a -1 !!!

In the quite obvious absence of any justification...I demand a full retraction and apology or I'll see you in court.

You wear shoes on your legs Bear? Perhaps this could be where you're going wrong!
