He went for his second swim yesterday. He appears to favour the "float" method of populsion that his Daddy used to get across the English Channel and which you have so sucessfully applied to IM!
I shall have you know I intend to do the swim next week in a time that begins with a 1,( no not 1 day either before anyone comments). I find it is much easier to swim faster when you dont have to keep checking behind you that young blonde Irish lass who is secretly drafting off you hasn't got lost on the first lap you know.
DTB.they were all lovely this year...............I was chuffed when I overtook Gerry Duffy on the muddy downhill slide part............but he soon overtook me again on the uphill section
this year the double only had 1 woman and the singlr 2 and the deca 1..................only 4 female enteries for all the tri distances............next year it looks like there will be loads
The cynic in me thinks it's because so many people signed up early for the 2011 deca/quin the list was published to make the event look popular, maybe as it's proving less popular at the moment it's not something to publicise?
I believe there will are at least 3 people signed up or about to for the deca and there's a few tripeys who've said they'll be doing the quin, we shall see, or not perhaps...
The Pirate women double championship should be good though however many people turn up for other events!

Im anticipating to watch it very closely.
Talking of which...
Avon Tyrell Training Day 24th September. AL & I (and anyone else who's interested) are going to do some swim/bike/run around the course on the Saturday. Let us know if you fancy coming along.

I guess keeping the list off line means you have no idea how many places are left and may prompt people to sign up!!!
Should be a nice event next year with everyone on here showing interest. It's really not that far away...eeeek!!!
I am tempted by the half cos of the timing. BUT I am still filled with nightmares of that bloody lyme disease I picked up this year... I think my mother would have a heart attack if I said I was going back there.

double sounds like fun. Good way to celebrate the smiley-zups birthday, he will be loking after himself by then won't he?

Email from Steve says Start list will be put on website in October.
Coach, is AT open for general use or is this a planned event on that date?
Carl...........you are not normally allowed to swim in the lake .........it is used for canoeing etc ..........
should be fine with the cycling.............the run might be more tricky if they are dioing school groups in the wood on the same day

looks like the half will be mostly pirates!
we'll look like a knitting club surrounded by all the people doing deca and quins!
Can't make the 24th but would really be interested in AL view of the course
having had a bit of time off after Outlaw training starts again this weekend
9 months to go....
Ticks don't strike twice.
Or something.....
Come and play!
