For the record, my Palmares? (FFS) this year includes competing (mostly but just completing the last 2) at all the British iron/ultra tri events, for the 2nd consecutive year. == 20 iron mans this year. It was only 13 last year (wot a lightweight). This is very silly btw. And expensive. And time consuming. And ruins your health. Continuing to do silly numbers of more destructive standalone IMs so soon after the Deca was just the last piece of the experiment in taking the p1ss with what my body could hold up to. I was very chuffed to do these successfully with little ill effect (until I got a virus I couldnt shake off in Sept) most notably I was flying at the Outlaw just 3 weeks after the Deca. Go figure!

The most amazing thing is that I've done this lot whilst being the worlds most disorganized and late feckwit.
It remains to be seen whether my metabolism is burnt out for 2013....
We should quote this next time someone asks whether their half ironman warm up event is 6 years before their Ironman and whether that leaves enough time to recover
The Henley Standard are running an online poll whether next year's Challenge Henley event should be cancelled. Obviously it shouldn’t.
It would be great if you can go on the poll, vote no and get as many people as possible that you know to also vote no. For those that do help, much obliged. The link:
good call barlist, Henley was great, and the traffic management efforts made by Just Racing to lessen the impact on the locals were huge, I was well impressed, and erm, I've done a few events! 55 IMs actually, counting 5 Doubles as one, or 60 then if 2.
Hope you all like the site if it's new to you. Take a look around while you are there and you can always follow me on Twitter or join the conversation on Facebook.
If anyone runs a website or blog and can take a second to link to the site or give it a nice plug it would be great to spread the word!
My hubby tried to vote for TC but couldn't because i had already voted on this computer................so had my son who watched him at teh deca..........so if anyone did manage to double vote by accident then it would cancel out their votes that they weren't allowed to make.,
and whilst voting all.have a look at the site .its got some really handy stuff on there
I'm just curious (ie nosy) - does TC have a significant other? I just wondered if there was a long suffering partner who had to put up with him doing this every weekend?
I think they would deserve some sort of award too!
um, yes, my significant other tries to come along to plenty of races when poss. And coz I race so/too much I usually try to minimise the time I spend there e.g. avoid staying the night b4, and is partly why I am often so very late to turn up on race morning (nothing to do with me being a feckwitted numpT too, nothing at all )
And yes - they do deserve an award!
Don't have any kiddywinkies to worry about, but 4 cute cats are still a responsibility/worry!
oh sh1t erm,how about 50% of em on a very piratey yellow old SoftRide - which is just in hibernation, not necessarily retirement btw. Or how about kit that is 50% Pirate and 50% TT (plus shorts that are 100% cool obviously LOL) or maybe I might just occasionally wear some ickle yellow badge that someone?? gave me at The Outlaw
and wotcha mean IF I win, with the massed ranks of pirate support charging overboard, I cant lose!
This could be the consummation of the great TriTalk/Pirate Alliance which started at the Enduroman Deca when we lent Monique a waterproof cap and gave Symes some jellybabies.
Pfft the great Pirate/Tri Talk alliance started longer ago than the Deca. I can remember supporting TC on the run course at then Double in Lichfield in 2009 (I think). He was drinking coke when he came in on each lap. Plus other tripers who where there.
I'd bet others will have similar tales from the year before too.

Thanks, Rich
I started the thread on TriTalk
Thanks everyone for their votes
If there were points for style he would be toast !
the denim shorts is why he got my vote......
My hubby tried to vote for TC but couldn't because i had already voted on this computer................so had my son who watched him at teh deca..........so if anyone did manage to double vote by accident then it would cancel out their votes that they weren't allowed to make.,
and whilst voting all.have a look at the site .its got some really handy stuff on there
Voted.
I'm just curious (ie nosy) - does TC have a significant other? I just wondered if there was a long suffering partner who had to put up with him doing this every weekend?

Fly the jolly roger from your mast, and it appears you catch the trade winds in your sails.
You piratey lot are working your magic and it must be working ta, we're almost neck n neck. sesel is 36.67 vs me at 36.37, erm, last time I looked
Thank you for answering my Q and not telling me to eff off.
When does voting have to be done by?
I have two cats, and one will advise when he is feeling negleted by leaving gifts on the bathroom floor. Fortunately it is tiled.
A tiled cat, how quaint
whoo-hoo, in the lead now just! PIRATE -MAGIC!
THANKS!
I do believe,TC, that if you win you should race at least 50% of your 2013 races in PSOF Kit in recognition of our voting
Perhaps we should put that to an online vote!!
oh sh1t erm,how about 50% of em on a very piratey yellow old SoftRide - which is just in hibernation, not necessarily retirement btw.

That would assume Pirate kit exists which would fit TC.
Fair point ....
the pirate kit really doesnt go with those shorts though does it
Vote cast good luck TC
Vote is in TC. Slim margin in your favour now
I'd bet others will have similar tales from the year before too.
Yep ... I remember when it were all fields
I even knew him before he became a fan of denim
I now fancy running in denim shorts.
Good luck TC, in the lead at the mo.
Apparently a Toyota Crown came with a chefs uniform when new...
Sad am I.....yes.
