I'm an overweight middle aged man with slightly raised blood pressure, so I thought entering a Half Iron distance tri would be a good idea.
My swimming is appalling, my cycling is slow and ponderous, and my run is a plod at best, but I love it!
Have done a few little tri's, but thought it's now or never to step up to something bigger and better.
I saw the pirate crew on the TV coverage of last year's Outlaw, and was blown away by the support you showed, so thought "it's a Pirate's life for me".
I think we already have our ship quotas of overweight middle aged men......can't you pretend you are a 20 year old hunk who is looking for an older experienced woman to show you the ropes
Have entered Outlaw Half in June. Will try to sneak a Standard distance in beforehand as a warmup. Thinking about going long in 2015, depending on how the Outlaw Half goes?
Bob where you baised? there are loads of sprints and olly's out there folks might be able to point in the direction of somewhere specail or heckle you on at one.
Joolze we are not really a club just a colective. It's basically a network of folks helping each other through ironman races and having a laugh. The mroe the merrier but someone will talk you into doing a ironman.

Sounds awfully athletic sort of chap, eh? Might be one of those fit racer types. Can you cycle up hills?
Pirate Support?......was that Meldys finish line dancing or the exclusive interview i gave about nutrition that blew you away...........
Oh good i still have festive smileys.....
Is the dancing compulsory??
From your description it sounds like you are an ideal pirate recruit! Welcome aboard the ship.
Thanks Ironwolf, glad to be onboard!
Nah, it must have been my insightful comments that convinced him

Welcome to the nut house.
Thanks Cake!
That statement sets you up as a pirate on so many different levels.....
No more cake...one of my New Year's resolutions. How long's that going to last?

I can pretend, but it will only lead to disappointment in the end!
Seren is well used to disappointment round these parts
Is this what you wanted Seren
that should stop the youngsters running away

You don't want to do that, It's bad for you
Bob where you baised? there are loads of sprints and olly's out there folks might be able to point in the direction of somewhere specail or heckle you on at one.
There's an Olympic in St Neots (a few miles away) 3 weeks before Outlaw Half, so that looks like a possible choice.
I'm doing the Outlaw half too. Can I join in the pirate fun? I'm not an overweight middle aged man so hopefully you can find room in your club.

Slippery slide Joolze slippery slide!
seems like outlaw half is going to be a mighty good sailing
OK Cake - I'm happy to be part of the collective slippery slide or not!
I've been upgraded by Seren to a fictional 20 year old hunk!
Yeah, But Seren is from deepest darkest Wales, and you wouldn't believe what they do to 20 year old hunks caught in the valleys
