I guess it may have been a bit of over-excitement of my part shouting your forum names around ... please accept my apologies for any initial shocks incurred. I would like to say that you guys are an inspiration to me and the main reason for my Wales attempt instead of a german IM. I was starstruck!

No need to apologise; we have our names on our kit so people can approach us. It just takes a moment or two to register how someone knows your forum name (especially when you're walking towards North Beach with a bucket on your head, a toy spade slung over your shoulder, and singing 'High-ho, high-ho, it's off to work we go'
It is a bit old and in need of updating, but the location is fantastic, it over looks the swim start and the run goes past it 3 times each lap and only a couple of minutes walk from transition
many,many congratulations to all of you guys that did ironman wales last weekend: i am in awe of you ! i was in holiday in tenby, so volunteered on-line & ended up doing a 7 hour stint marshalling the run course. absolutley loved it & found you all very inspiring!! x

Absolutely thrilled about this ... we are both in Lanza and Wales then 2013, nice.
Any idea what date it'll be next year?
Would quite like to redeem myself after DNF at the first one in 2012.......
It'd be good to see you there again
Heard this was going to be one week earlier in 2013 ... 08/09/2013
Same weekend as last year then....
Am sure wat won't mind me being away the whole weekend of our wedding anniverssary again!
Entries go on sale 24th September
confirmed 8th September by email to me today....entries as SA says.
i'm gonna do it!!!
can't enter yet as still got to find the money for Outlaw
Thought Outlaw had already sold out?
yes.i put it on my credit card. so will starve the kids for a week
I have filled out the survey for 2012, with everyone who fills it out going into a draw for free entry for 2013
AndyB99 at some point thing I would like a ride round the IMUK course, let me know when you are free and I will compare it against IM Wales for you
Oooh, 8th September you say, must blank that weekend out in my diary, and get some accommodation sorted
I usually camp...for some reason after last year I am not feeling the love for camping in Tenby
Did they hike prices for accommodation this year? How much was the camping?
Ah, I see! if you starved them for longer you could do both?
I booked a caravan at Kiln Pk a year ago for this years IMW and got a 3 room one for £168, bargain!
Seren, it was a much better experience!
Just booked for 2013. A bit more expensive than that unfortunately
Glad I did though, cos it's already saying 'only so many' left - I missed out in 2011 cos the price hike was enormous.
Now all I need's the race entry to go along with somewhere to stay. Oh - and some training - that'd be good too!
No Probs SA....proba a few days left of the autumn yet....when do you wanna do it??? PM me if ya a like and we'll set it up
IMW registration is open ... i'm in .
I'm IN!!!!

Going to try and have a pootle round the course before the end of the year I think. Will probably hurt. Although not as much as last time!
