Mouse.... they are silly with the electric hookups as they dont even take a deposit let alone payment.......no other campsites work like that.......so people do not turnup or cancel as they probably forget as they havent paid anything.....
Its annoying when you cant get an electric hookup yet there are loads empty
I know this will be covered by the race briefing but being a worrier I'm worried about transition. So what's the norm. Do you set up bike with drinks etc and pump tyres on sat or come back to it Sunday? Do I hand in the filled bags sat or Sunday?
I'm registering Saturday and want to be prepared.
Or in other words I'll look silly Sunday don't want to do that Saturday as well ????
Well, ive gone and done a daft thing.After doing a couple of sprints ive signd up for outlaw 2017. Can somebody tell me, the swim. Is it deep ? I ask because watching the TV coverage on youtube it looks like people are walking at the begining of the swim. My kind of swim !!!
Thanks, it's the chaos at the start of the swim that bothers me the most. Just have to stay out the way. My first full distance was going to be Weymouth IM then they can led it for 17. Very excited about the Outlaw though !!
Don't worry about the chaos. Start at the back of a pen and let everyone else pull away, and then set off nice and steady and you'll avoid most of it. I had quite a relaxing swim at Outlaw '15

Cheers I'll try and get there early, get the tent sorted and start carb-loading.....Guinness is full of carbs

Completely agree.

You usually put bottles on the bike sunday morning, rather than leave them to fester overnight!
Also good to put any food on the bike on Sunday morning, unless you want to feed the seagulls overnight.
I'd imagine looking at the date of this thread that its only a week until reg opens again

Shallow to the sides for sure .. easiest swim course outside of a pool
even in the middle it isn't very deep
it is just when you are standing in the water at the start and actually you can't see the end it feels like a really really long way
it is pretty easy to stay out of the way of the chaos, just start at the back ....
I have done the outlaw swim twice and not been caught up in the chaos either time
Better start learning to swim then!! Please excuse my ignorance but what are pirates. Is it a running club ?
close, it's a tri club
Is it? I thought it was a drinking and abuse club.
Mallowpuff, I like the sound of that. Where do I sign
