OK I am signing in. Think I did the pre register thing so am awaiting an email at some point then I will pay up and make it official. I want to persuade a mate to do it with me (he beat me in Maastricht by 15 minutes) does it sell out? if so approximately when? I did Maastricht in 12:29 and want to knock at least an hour off that time for the Outlaw next year.
Nottingham half sells out in about three hours on the first day with the 'VIP' entries and then again very quickly the following day with the general slots.
Holkham less so. I don't think it sold out last year but I'm not 100% sure. This year it's not full yet and it went on sale yesterday. I suspect it will fill but not sure when.
The full has sold out in the space of 2/3 days in the past and I'm not sure why it was still open for several months last year.
I really don't think you need to. It took a good couple of months to fill last year and you'll just be causing admin stress. I'm sure you'll get relay places on Thursday.
As an arrangement has already been made with OSB I don't think it's going to cause them much stress. I'd rather get the early entry and know it's done than risk missing out on Thursday
So I have done the pre register thing for this and can sign up tomorrow but would like to delay a while partly because I could do with the money right now, but also as there is a chance I might do a different one instead. I have basically told everyone that I am doing theoutlaw however. So how soon does it normally sell out? And fter it has sold out are there any, ahem, back door entry options?
Oh dear. Maybe I shall enter this morning then. Was hoping for a cheap couple of months to pay off my overdraft and credit cards from this years ironman. Why did I get involved in the most expensive sport in the world.
I don't know if it was on here or in real life when there was a discussion about what counts as sport - does it need to involve physical exertion? Anyway, I don't care much....

It's for solo's and relay's (sic).
It took the longest I've seen it take for it to sell out last year, getting on for November.
Interesting isn't it as I gather both half distances sold out extremely quickly this year!

RELAY PLACES
Relay entries will not be available during the VIP process, the only way to secure a Relay place is via general entry on Thursday 1 September.
Happy to enter team for Me, Seren & Ghost
Will be entering Pirate team 42 , for myself Maths chick and Rocco on the 1st
rocco can't cycle for us now, so if someone else wants to join us as a cyclist let us know
Does early entry open today?
Say in my hotel waiting to leave as my (steam) phone doesn't do internet!!
I expect I'll be in Calais waiting to get on a ferry as I enter.
Fab, I have internet at the farmhouse so will be sitting prepared !
Have any teams have thought up team names yet? We shall need these for registration.
I've asked my team for ideas for names but they seem as bereft of inspiration as I am... ????
To me you'll always be Bawbags Unanimous.

some years it has sold out on the day of entering......some a little later on....
There might be charity places later on available...
I think the best thing is to think hard tonight if you want to do it or not

I think sports involving fast cars are more expensive....
fast cars aren't sport.
I'm in!
