Race report: I arrived at the venue - a big win for me as I was properly nervous. After a few mins I realised I was standing next to a double ironman, Slag. How do you approach a complete stranger who has achieved such an epic task not once buy twice? How do you approach someone and say 'oi, slaaaaaag' Coincidence of all coincidences, I have met (and bored the pants off) Slag before in a business environment! What were the odds, I believe we are even LinkedIn!
Slag, and the others i talked to, I know I was rabbiting on but I make no apologies. I was star struck
As more epic individuals arrived my level of star struckedness reached higher and higher levels. What an amazing group of inspiring people you all are. Everyone was so down to earth and friendly and yet so totally EPIC in their achievements. I have read a little about how the pirates came to be. It is clear to me that the ethos and mindset of the pirates lives on, undilluted and as the founders intended.
I had a great time talking to Jess, Funkin, Slag, Flat Footed and more. I don't think I can wait till 2014 for my first ironman. Stage 1: VLM 2013. Stage 2: Challenge Henley - well that's the plan

Well done Turtle head! But it appears you've left a bit early!! A Pirate doesn't leave the ship!! He just sails off in search of treasure!!
