route map now printed............so just need to think about getting some kit packed in the morning and some food....everything in the car and then away........can't wait to sunbathe in the sun this afternoon
couldn't sleep last night, today is going to be the longest day at work ever, even though i'm skiving off at 3, now who's going tobe the lucky one to help me get my tent up . See you tonight
HUUUUUUUUUUUGE good luck to everyone at Outlaw this weekend, whether you're racing or supporting, or marhalling etc. What a weekend for it, weather-wise. IM Nice and IM Austria eat your hearts out!
The spread of food last year was rather good, I thought.
HPP has showers up the horrid steps and turn left, you need a code to get into the changing rooms. It's worth trying to find out what the code is from reception the day before. You'll prob walk past the changing rooms going to the briefing.
Worth noting I think the code is only for the ladies showers, think they have had to many close call's with carl. The showers are normally pritty good but can get a crowded and messy with lots of outlaw's depending when you go in them. Top tip for you popping your cherries. once you have crossed the finish line you will be tempted to let everyone know you are ok. DON'T switch your phones on until you have eaten. Everybody and there mum with phone you and you will need fuel for the beers later.

Hallway littered with kit - to be packed in blind panic later this morning...
Will be there hopefully mid afternoon.
I must have thought it was race day, wide awake at 3am.
Officially excited now. Going to be heading up at about lunch time.
Just want to wish all the cherry poppers on here the best of luck.
Good luck to all racing. Hope you all get the results that you're hoping for, and that the sun doesn't wither you away!
Why has my big toe started hurting on every single step I take?
Cheers Pudge
not sure what its like to cycle in dry/warm/non-windy conditions...

Tapir fever.
Good sleep tonight everyone and race strong. Sorry I won't be racing with the great ship. GO PIRATES.
Have a great weekend everyone! Must say I'm envious - got over the psycological scars of my IM 2 weeks ago so feel ready and raring to go again.
To the competitors - enjoy it, try and keep smiling, and pace yourselves!
The spectators - enjoy it, try and keep smiling, and pace yourselves (try to remain sober enough to help your racers empty transition!)
Soo exciting. Packing later and driving up in the morning.See you all there

Dude you know what my tent looks like by now We can start a orchestra for sarah
Oh in case I don't get a chance later everyone good luck
Oh, shaved my legs for the first time last night, I woke up this morning with the king of the mountains jersey on the white bed linen.
The better half also said its just wrong that i have less hair on my legs than her
That is the sweetest thing ever, TB ...
Hoping to pick up a wheelchair this afternoon so my OH can push our son around (broken leg)
- reckon it'll be far too tiring trying to wander about on crutches on a weekend like this - bless him
good luck everyone
sorry we can't be there this year but we have BTF duties elsewhere all weekend (Sussex Triathlon Festival)
race well, drink well and don't forget the suncream.....
Erm..................y'know this packing malarkey - is it normal to have enough stuff to kit out the entire campsite ?
I hope so because I seem to have an awful lot of stuff laid out
goodluck one and all. look forward to hearing all the stories
good luck everyone, looking forward to meeting you all and see you all finish
Good luck everyone, kinda gutted I'm not racing it! Remember everything wil be fine and in the words of a fellow pirate.... Don't be $hit!
