Mrs D you arent allowed to not come!
I'm coming but have been advised I will at no point be naked or see naked people. Contemplating camping at Bosworth but quite expensive.
We have a spare room if you need it
let me know.
You mean you managed to fit the web cam?
Mwahhhhaaaaaaaa
Quietly packing myself there Cake
distracting myself with Outlaw stuff...
all rearing to go, having a nice taper week ( eating crap and lying around).
I am definitely coming to heckle - OH and kids might come too, but I don't think OH wants to so probably on my own! Anyone know what the catering is like or will I want to bring my own sandwiches for lunch?
There is a lesure place for the camp site got all the things kids like chip's burger's ect.. Only other option is a pub a few miles away or the ice cream van. That van better be there or there will be trouble.
Maths how old are the kids? If you want can try and pack arty things to keep them entertained, I'm thinking them watching a lot of stranger's prat about in lycia isn't high on there to do list. Me and bookie have lots of wool and various arty stuff in the house from clearing out Mummy cake's loft and sure I can sort something out for them.
Hell yes!
cake - they are 12 and 9, don't think arty things would entertain them much, to be honest they will probably want to go and visit the in-laws anyway and not want to come! I did say to OH they could go for a walk/play in the water (I think there is beachy bit from the look of the website) but I will probably be on my own
Yes that ice cream man best be there! It's why we are doing it isn't it
. Don't forget the pratting about in neoprene lol
Maths this is what I get out to when not playing with you lot. 12 is a little to old for stuff but sure I can leave something interesting for the 9 year old. Will bring and if not needed I can play with it myself after the race.
There is a beathy bit but not very inpressive. They might like hiring a boa through.
thanks cake
I know it is just a typo but they would love to play with a Boa
I do like a good boa....
Got the job - celebrated with a shared tub of magnum icecream and raspberries
training like a champ
brilliant buttercup - is it on the main campus? Great swimming pool - I used to go and swim there sometimes when I worked in Nottingham
Yup it is
will check that out!
Congratulations Buttercup
Good luck to you all. It is a shame I will miss out but there is always next year and I have a short sportive to fit in whilst my brother makes a flying visit to see me.
last OW swim tonight before this, see you all around 06:30 on Sunday.
Anybody do this last year? just looking at the results and it there are some very quick bike and run times, was it acurate distance?
Yes mate did it last year you can find me at the bottom of the list. It’s a fast course and also the field was good last year with lots of racing snakes. It’s not flat but for the most part the hills work with the route so there are a few places you can hammer it on the tri bar’s.
Hey.
Doing this (hopefully) as my first half-IM... good luck to everyone. Slightly paranoid question, but i signed up at the beginning of the year (yep... needed that much prep), my names on the entrycentral list but haven't heard a thing from the organisers, none of the usual final prep e-mails. Has anyone else...?
S
SP2 - Yes had a email this week with the pre race details.
Cake - I'm suprised that you say that with all the run times being under 1:40 and all the bikes being under 3:00.
Thought I would be mid packing agin at this maybe not
badger I did it last year too, did you pull out last year or was that alibear?? The run is slightly under 13.1- around 12.5, the bike is 52m. The run is long sloping, bike is not too bad.
SP2- we had emails about nutrition on the course, high5 energy bars (might load up on these they are £1.20 at tesco lol), water etc.
I doubt I will be midpacking it at 1.40 - I want the freaking icecream man
I ran the course the other week it is undulating but nothing that will make you cry too much.
Yeah Sp2 I had a couple as well.
So did I if you havn't had the e-mail check your spam folder and if nothing I would get in touch with the organiser's they are a friendly bunch.
