I was doing my LSR yesterday and during that finally committed myself to delaying my IM retirement for another year and do IM Wales in September 2011.
The thought came to me that it looks like there could be at least 3 or 4 of the IMCH05 squad doing it so why not see if we can get as many of the class back together?? show the newbies how it's done??
and as one of the IMCH05 class is one of the organisers (8iron) it would be good for us to support his efforts on getting this event off the ground.
I don't expect all to do it - some have disappeared or have long term injuries which prevent them competing - but it could be a laugh I reckon
anyone else up for it??
Comments
I'll give it some thought....how soon after IMR is it?
I really don't fancy the sea swim but I'll have to JFDI if I commit....
Finances are a little shot right now so that will be the biggest consideration....
I have to say, I quite like the idea though.....
OK so that isn't an issue....so it's just the finances then...
I need to get a job....
Be good to have you there Ratbag, good vibes for the job hunting.
FB, I dont think Oxy will need much work, besides, he'll be a cycling god by then
Barlos....would you and Oxy be up for some bike rides?
Sorry to hijack the thread....
RB ive just PM'd you.

Handy Runner emigrated to Australia as far as I remember....
Wasn't 'Will he won't he' on the list?
whatever happened to Handy? he just disappeared. (EDIT - thanks for the update RB) and has Cartman done any more tris since puking his way around IMCH?
and that TC bloke also disappeared I believe.
"Wasn't 'Will he won't he' on the list?"
P and I were talking about this - was he there?? P says he was, but I don't remember - maybe he wasn't wearing the black & yellow??
Will he won't he - was on the list and did complete, didn't wear pirate kit tho. Only remember him as his wife was preggers at the time an french.
Not sure SP will do this, at least not next year and his taking a break from it in 2012 I have witnesses
We may come a support tho as I've never been to Wales.
I was talking to Garr about this yesterday... you know, I think he could be talked into it
Sounds like a fab idea to me.
I don't see why not
Spoke to SP last night and he wants to know why you came up with this idea - so he is thinking about it.
It wasn't an "idea" per se - it was just one of those random thoughts that went through my mind as I was doing my LSR on Sunday. I was finally deciding to do IMW and then thought of those who I know from IMCH05 who are committed also so it kind of went from there into a reunion idea.
I'm quite tempted by this. I was intending to do Bala and Vit next year. No reason why it can't be Bala and IMW.
Totally skint for the coming year though what with teacher training. Will have to see how much spare cash I have in a month or so and see if I can afford an IM and the mortgage.
I really like the idea of the original Pirates getting together again!
Good thinking FB!!
I can still get in mine - thank feck for stretchy lycra!!
Don't think I'll let SP near the computer when he gets home
Who's got the search party out for the rest of the missing bunch?
And Kanga SP still fits into his pirate kit.
Errr, I didn't write that last post. That must've been Hope.
I don't like the idea of seeing you lot again! While my stomach's still unsettled the thought of Carl of Oxy in lycra again might be enough to push me over the edge!
