I might make this my race for next year too, not sure if it gives me long enough to recover from London Marathon and build up the bike miles to be strong enough.
Plan for me next year is currently Manchester Marathon (or VLM if I get in), Lakesman and then IMW. I'm not a racing snake, but I suppose I fit into the young category...
My Garmin made the course to be a bit long, but not by much. Compared to HPP for the outhlaw there is a bit more in the way of currents but there was very little chop. The last 100m were hard because the lake is unusually shallow this year so you had to drag yourself along a bit. I think a few of the leading swimmers took a wrong turn too, oh, and we're all shit swimmers as we're too busy admiring the scenery up North
You forget that if you were to look on a map, there's a point where it all gets a bit vague and simply says "Here be monsters". That includes water dwelling beasts that you must do battle with on a swim.
Castlerigg Hall is a nice site, but it is at the top of a hill. No problem getting down to the race in the morning, but could be a pain getting back after

Gonnae go fix this for me, Mallowpuff please? I don't know how to add to the list without that double spaceage thing going on. Forgot about Team Bawbag at the Outlaw. When's that again?

Be good to see you there and follow in your wake !
I think ( dangerous at my age ) Si Mondo did VLM, Lakesman and IMUK ?
He is of course a young racing snake

Looking at the times from this year the swim times do not seem to be super fast, anyone know if there any reason for this?
Yeah....its because they're all shit swimmers that far north as the lakes are frozen over for 11 months of the year.

I can assure you Magna some of the nutters up here swim all year and without wetsuits...
...I swam Good Friday and nearly froze

Oops. Entered. Now where did I put my bike??
the camping and caravaning club site is closest Nursey......
You our run past the entrance every lap of the run, about 5 minutes walk from transition, but I know Mallowpuff stayed at the Castle Rigg campsite
I might not have to camp, but sleeping in my own bed meant climbing that same hill
Mrs D you promised to do Race to the King weekend of 24th - 25th of June.... I feel so unloved.

Lovely, thanks, BYF
That's OK and easier to do than said unless on an iPad or smartphone !
Ah, well that'll be why. I was trying it on an iPad. RW needs to get itself sorted.
