Have asked for a rough guide to a date for next year, as olympic meetings and duties may impinge on whether I can enter.

This is a great IM distance race, really well run, on a fast (ie not massive hills) course.
Great first event, as it's relatively cheap, easy to get into, and the pirate massive will provide it's usual levels of support on the day/ help on the training stuff as well.
Don't forget to buy a pirate Monaco/tri top though otherwise you will be anonomous. Wearing loud yellow pirate kit is even sillier than bobbing around in a lake at 6am in rubber
Just seen the big list of names and really tempted. Kinda decided that Outlaw is going to be the one I want to have a crack at but really not sure if 2012 is too soon.
Against-
Crap swimmer, start my final year of uni on monday, never done a triathlon, moneys a bit tight, scared of open water. if i did it 2013 i could buy loads of carbon bits and magnets etc etc etc (because a carbon fibre water bottle holder would make all the difference).
For-
Lots of loons doing it, always going to be busy no matter how long I wait, I really, really, really want to do an ironman distance event.
Have emailed someone about a sprint tri so I shall wait til then but i am waivering
well I shall stop lurking on here now as I've just had my beautiful bianchi stolen have spent months getting it relatively comfortable for me to ride with all my back problems, and I'm thoroughly pee'd off
They crowbarred open the garage door, stole my scott mtb (which i cycle to work on), my bianchi road bike ( ) tried to cut through the lock on Mr Frag's new bike, couldn't so removed the forks instead and mangled lots of bits in the process
we are mr and mrs gutted of reading this evening!
so far nothing on ebay or gumtree, but I am checking regularly
got the police coming round tomorrow, so at least we'll be abe to clean up porperly afterwards
Bad news Fraggle. Hope they catch the thieving bastards.
Roll up, roll up.....

Go on, you know you want to!
OK, after lurking for a while I've had enough wine tonight to say that if the Vit goes well, I'll be in. If it doesn't, I'll be supporting! Will add my name to the list in a mo!

Nicko - I think it was because they couldn't get the rest of the bike (decent lock thru the frame) so took waht they could. Apparently the forks are tapered and they've left some bits behind so they'll be useless anyway
Police have been very helpful, have been given photos of the bikes so will get them on thir list of bikes to look out for asap, so am feeling happier today
I will carryon lurking on here - you never know, if I get a new bike that suits me, if training goes ok then I may join you for the full monty, if not then I'll do a relay or support thingy doodah
