LOL at van Halen. Do I get an extra point for air guitaring down the run course?
Min - there was nothing at all lightweight about TBW bike! There's no way it was 23 miles though for crashie's 2:58 - that would put him well on for sub 3:30 for the full marathon. He's an hamster not a crab
Mel - my memory has probably (definitely!!) faded the edges!! Anyhoo - shall award myself a point and look forward to adding more after Lanza next year!
Well you are on the right forum, and a big pirate coningent will be in Zurich next year for the Ironman, it's a great first race and you will have endless support, look in the 2009 training thread and someone will get you up to speed!!!
me125 - just go to the Tri section and have a peruse through some of the recent threads or make yourself known on the 2009 training thread .... you wll get a warm welcome!
Yikes I just realized I'm a tritalker at -2 points. Looks like my two choices are to retire or actually train for my next IM. Not sure I can stand to have the same ranking as Plum!
I'm counting TBW - we did the course in front of us - not our fault it may have been a tad short. Its only a bit of fun anyway - I CBA working out my score - I'm probably still on minus anyway.
I reckon Calfie or Hollywood will win Fastest Man. In fact, I have a bet with H already (3 beers) Not that I have no faith in my husband, just that he's never done it before and I think at IM experience counts for rather a lot (that and the fact that his only other marathon has been FLM this year!). OK, so that all sounds like I have no faith in him...*ahem*

*cough* 2:58 marathon *cough*
I think the rules are:
1 point for TBW (but plenty of piss-taking
1 point for any member of van Halen (but plenty of piss-taking)
Sorry, that wasnt at all relevant was it? Displacement activity anyone?
