OK
So after lots of pressure and requests about are we doing it again and dates for next year and requests to get the dates as early as possible, we now have dates
We will be running the Pirate DIY half IM again on both the 2nd and 3rd of May
The Monday 4th May is Bank holiday
The date has been chosen
1 week after VLM
1 week before IM Mallorca 70.3 (last chance to swim)
3 weeks before IM Lanza (perfect start to tapir)
4 weeks before Outlaw Half (Great chance to test out kit and nutrition)
8 weeks before IM Austria (Perfect timing)
11 weeks before IMUK (great to check how your training is going)
12 weeks before Outlaw (great to check how your training is going)
This time we are hoping to have lap counters for the swim and a master timer so we can provide split times
We will also be doing t-shirts again for those that want
and all this for £4 (the swimming pool entry cost)
As usual there should be a good social side so the pub should feature on Friday and Saturday night

I have no plans to race next year so will marshal on both days
Comments
I will be there in one guise or another. I might run the bike route for a few hours if that's ok? And will spend my time marshalling, milling about for the rest of it.

Hurrah!!!!!!!!! I shall probably do some of it, but not all, as trial run of kit/transitions etc. for the Outlaw. I'll help out on the other day, so can work out which day is best to do which once you have more of an idea of numbers
Bring it on!! Can someone put me on the competing list? I always muck up the graphics... . Mucho looking forward to It!

I hope to be free next year too, not too sure of A race next year yet, might be Outlaw
This is definitely the best half ironman race out there....do this and you are guaranteed success in your full......
That's what I believe anyway....
My plans for next year are changing all the time....I was booked for that weekend but am free now.....
So there is a good chance I will be there again....was going to have as year off racing tris....but I'm sure I can do something
Sorry. This is seren.....can't log onto myself on hubbies tablet on holiday
I wondered who it was Seren, but I should have known from all the ........s
Come and run around the bike course with me for 5 or 6 hours. It'll be some good training for Lakeland.
Will book time off now so can actually make it next year
Shouldn't you be concentrating on IM Lanza then? and I believe you have been challenged to a smack down on the DIY course by Stanners over on the Outlaw half thread
Nope its pretty much open to all
its a great way to meet lots of pirates and also swap tips on all things tri and the best bit, its a great laugh
And there's chip butties!
Are there any vets about ......
Also bacon!!!!!!
Did someone say bacon?
I will use the subtle "I was thinking....." technique with Mrs BK32 and then just let it gather pace (it's worked for Cambridge Tri, Outlaw Half so far (we are both in for them)) and is all good for "I was thinking......" prior to Outlaw Full registration.
SA - which is the Premier Inn closest to you?
