I am in, had to withdraw this year because my mum was in hospital, and although I have entered in previous years I haven't managed to actually ever start it, so main aim is to start......
I've got a 2 year old so I might need that hook up, do you have any web links for where I need to book?. I can't find anything on a quick google search.
I've managed to get a place again for 2017. I missed my target of sub 6h this year due to injuries messing up my training and ended up with 6h14m. So it's time to have another go and the IMUK in 2018. That's the plan anyway ????
the campsite is closer than the carparking on the day......definitely need to book for electric hookup..but they usually dont even take a deposit...just your name
This will be my first attempt at anything longer than pool based sprints. And I have only done a handful of those! However, I have been doing some Open Water sessions and feell more comfortable everytime I go. It's going to be a big task for me to complete the race, but armed with the Fink book and a growing swimming confidence, I might just about make it!
I'm in wave 4 the last one with blu hats to match the colour of my skin when I get out no doubt. Not looking forward to cold water at all. And yes so many mystery aches this week !! Will you all be in the yellow and black kit to spot on course ?
Hope everyone is finished and happy! I was entered but didn't make it to the start line after a few months of boring medical issues. Will try again next year.
Really good day, PB by 22 minutes, nice dose of sun burn. Only a couple of pirates in kit that I saw, I had my t shirt in transition but it was too hot for that.

Yes I managed to get through first part of the race - fastest fingers on keyboard for entry.
Seems Nottingham is sold out now & Norfolk getting close.

In, Is there anywhere nearby to camp?
there is a campsite right next to the race HQ - I don't think you need to book unless you want electric hook up

I'm in - was sat by my keyboard at 0900. That's an "entry time" PB for me. Bodes well
