pirate outing #1 2007

Kanga M

According to IMA website "Running and cycling without a top (singlet, shirt) is forbidden. The tricot must cover both shoulders and the chest must be fully covered as well (zip not opened too wide)"

Wonder if lycra/zip failures under extreme duress earn a time penalty ...

oxymoron

thinking of any incident in particular? ;-)

F.oggy

Up early for a last minute panic, safe trip everyone, see you at Heathrow/ Klaggers.

M.ister W

Too fecking early, Foggy. Get the coffees in. Black with no sugar for me please.

Kanga M

Morning to those who are left!

It's a bit brighter here, but can still see snow on the distant mountains!

Debbo had a helluva journey stuck on the motorway from Munich to Klaggers but she got here safely in the end!

The forecast for Sunday now shows sun/cloud/rain and a temp of max 23! It'll probably change again, as it seems to regularly, but don't want too much rain!!!

We're going to register today :-)

PS If you haven't left already it might be worth bringing a decent coat, it's a bit chilly!

Kanga M

Finished packing last night, and assuming Mike got the bike & bag to Klaggers OK, I'm all sorted. Hopefully no idiot will park their Jeep Flambé in the middle of LHR between now and Friday morning, and be in Klaggers via Vienna about 3pm Friday.

After the IMDE '06 Marathon Tour of Portaloos I'll be stocking up on the immodium ...

<<WIBBLE>>

We're be off in a wee while, in the meantime, I think I've pulled my hamstrings, and twisted my ankle. I can also feel a twinge in my back and my shoulder's playing up...Jeez..is it "standard" to feel loads of pyscho-injuries???

Crash Hamster

Standard? It's compulsory )

Safe trip...

<....tumbleweed moment...>

as they all get to Klaggers and go out on the p*ss, forgetting about us here in Blighty....

Garr

Good luck everyone! I'll be online the whole time from about 1pm on Sunday, so just as long as no-one pulls a 6hr IM out of the bag, I should be home in time to see you all finish... except those finishing at the 16hr mark coz I might have gone to bed... so get a wiggle on!! No dilly-dallying.
