Welcome MH - I'll add your name to the IMUK 2013 virgin list, well done.
Did my first ever early morning run before work today. Nearly bailed as couldnt be bothered to get out of bed an hour earlier, but forced myself. Felt ok after a cup of coffee
30 minutes of intervals done & wont have to cram that in this evening now
At the risk of having things thrown at me, I'm pretty much 99% set on IM Switzerland come July '13. As much as I'd ike a trip up North I'm planning to mix the event with a weeks holiday to meet up with familiy and pals living an ex-pat life....
Rode on the turbo for 45 mins this am before work. My first time since popping the collar bone. Good to be getting back into fitness.
Yep - I can just see it now - a group of blokes sat on a street corner, supping beer out of tinnies, screaming at passing cyclists at 9:00 on a Sunday morning. Shouldn't look out of place in the slightest in Bolton
Just been out on the bike for an hour. For the first time since falling off last year, I felt confident. Can't tell you what a wondeful feeling that is! .
Coffee drunk, flapjack scoffed, off to take weans to swimming lessons
Spoons i think it was SD (the current list controller) who might have added you i'll check my records, but I suspect you were asked to take a step back if you didn't want to be added and you didn't noticably and therefore you had thrown your hat in the ring...
quite simple really... did you note how long the list is? do you think everyone on that list is "willing"?!? Is being willing even relevant? in you case you weren't NOT willing and you didn't say no, that therefore = a YES
hope that clarifies...
Matahema welcome thanks for popping over to our little place, I see you've already agreed to join us in doing an IM in 2013 (i think that was another SD sign up) anyway tell us what about doing an IM has attracted to you to agreeing to do one with us next year?

like hell you will! you're doing the triple! how on earth you are you going to "represent" us adequately and scoop a major award at the UK PSOF 2013 Championships if you can't be arsed to do the Official Cabin Personnel 2013 Championships (although admittedly you will be a fully fledged pirate by then), the UK Champs and the international Champs... HTFU we're counting on you and if you don't we'll tow you on the swim, gaffer tape you to a bike and bind your hands and feet while following you with a cattleprod
SD - get the Racing Apprentice Fairy's name on the list
Gastank - its not that hours and hours of training, the complete lack of a social life, the expense, the entrance fees, the pain, the blisters, the endless massages, the copious amount if lycra needed - I can cope with all that, easily. I'm just not sure I can go through waxing my legs three times in one year!!
none M...elds.... none, he's slacking on recruitment i'm sure I saw him on a thread where another newbie presented themselves and he didn't even mention IM...

Dont forget to order your pirate kit in good time

Do you know any decent pubs we could be sitting in whilst doing said shouting?? If so, first round is on me
On the run yeah, it'll be too early on the bike.
So who's got the rich uncle to sponsor my trip over?
Never heard of a carry out ?
So pleased I will be retired in 2013

Classy blokes. Like it.
Just been out on the bike for an hour. For the first time since falling off last year, I felt confident. Can't tell you what a wondeful feeling that is! .

Ive just done 31 miles on the bike in 2hrs11mins,
I was really struggling with unclipping my shoes today
Nursey - a weekend off?
Just ask gas, he'll 'remind' you when it happened.
Yep, weekend off. Eating, drinking and being merry. Not too merry, I'm working Fri/Sat/Sun nights.

Glad youre getting your confidence back NR
Clipless moments can be pretty entertaining EIBM (unless you hurt yourself of course!)
Hah gas and SD love the recruitment style!
it was entertaining .......... I looked very silly
SD... I see Amir has made the list

Yes Holgs I shall be at Outlaw .... no one is safe
Gastank - its not that hours and hours of training, the complete lack of a social life, the expense, the entrance fees, the pain, the blisters, the endless massages, the copious amount if lycra needed - I can cope with all that, easily. I'm just not sure I can go through waxing my legs three times in one year!!
i'll wax them for you, i'm that sort of team player...
Sadly.....that's the best offer I've had for a while!
I find a blowtorch works best
We had heard the rumours Witchy
Watchit you .....
Anyway, how many recruite hae you nailed to the mast today then ?
none M...elds.... none, he's slacking on recruitment i'm sure I saw him on a thread where another newbie presented themselves and he didn't even mention IM...
I think press-ganged would be a better description where Gastank in involved!!
I'd say it's more along the lines of being asked, "Do you think my hanky smells of chloroform?", then coming round and finding yourself on a list
