If the smackdown is for the bike couse then lets do it
If its swim bike
If its swim bike run..... oops then funkin & wiz will have it.
wiz, i recommend 1:1 swim sessions of you can afford ir . I went from 1:25 sans wetsuif to 1:11 with after some lessons and now 1:06 with consolidation
Wiz if you are london based give me a ping (dont think you are thougj...)
Funkin. Eecover for a month after hawii then bike all winter at a good power %and you will (hopefully)kill me on the bike in nice
Rhis gives me a target though - training started last week with a CP20 test to determine my FTP power.... its gone up in the last yeaf
I know we spoke about this before but I am liking the idea of The Train of Doom .. and have made some initial enquiries of a company who transport bikes to races through Europe, the costs on the website for bike transportation come in at around £150 and train fares from London St Pancras to Nice about £109 return if anyone is interested I will keep you updated
That sounds cheap Meldy! Do we have to ride a little distance on your broomstick!
For what it's worth I plan to go out a little earlyier for some 'warm weather' training on hills, staying at a friends place who lives three hours short on Nice. Having a 'van' I could fit a few bikes in. But you'd probably be without your bike for a month before the event!

Looking fowrard to next year
Il be up for some smack down on the bike course as I count myself as more of a cyclist then anything!
I shall see what I can do with the swim.... I'm a 1:18 swimmer at the mo so can only get better!
Wow, this is getting competitive!
I'll be up for a lay down if that helps?
Hmmm! Can't think of anyone who would do this!!!

That's a very messy list - standards are slipping!!
Siggy - you have mail
Ooh, it is getting competitive, next people will be putting times down!
Damned right!!!!
16hrs for me....
Anything less than 15hr50 for me would be good! I intend to get my money's worth!!
And the sandbagging begins.........
The original company cant do IM Nice bike transport ... back to plan B .. whatever that was
Cant we just take bike bags on the train of doom?
I dont quite remember the conversation but I dont think that is an option due to size ...
Wasn't the problem that bikes have to be sent the day before by train? With the obvious no guarantee of it being anywhere useful when you want it?
Sounds normal for me
So back to flying again
can't spomeone just drive a big van down with all the bikes and everyone else pay them..whilst relaxing in the train
Cant we just stow them away in a passing lorry ??
What could possibly go wrong ??
