mds at the start of april, then NP mara, so i wont be back to the middle of April. Not likely to get much cycling in whilst training for them realistically.
anyway, what am i on about, i hate cycling!
"Not likely to get much cycling in whilst training for them realistically. "
lol!!! didn't think you did much training for the NP mara anyway!!
I'm sure you could fit a 'little' biking in and around your tough training schedule....
heehee....
...but as you said...it's no more than a bit of a trek really
"cute ass..."
Guffaw!! (TM Dr. Nic)
<I did too Nam>
Great minds? Or would that be fools?
Lanza will apparently NEVER be an official pirate championship for all those reasons why it is too hard.
PO - don't get all Barley!
There's a big difference in entering an IM, finishing an IM, doing reasonably well in an IM and racing an IM.
Everyone can do the first, nearly everyone can do the second, most can do the third if they try and very few people can do the last. Irrespective of course, weather conditions and luck.

Holly_Golightly
kittenkat (yes I know what I said repeatedly, but I'm obsessed (in a good way).. and no, don't mention it to Mr kk
Dark Vader (need to discuss with Classicaldiva first)
Hollywood (I've never done an IM without Squishy - need her to sign up first)
NWO ( need to check the cost and clear it with the missus! )
Squishy (I'm sure she'll do it if Hollywood is depending on her
IW (IF I can get permission)
Silent Assassin (if funds permit) (V)- Must enter and do some training with JPenno
Barry K - funds permitting as the first step.
Sluggie (dithering virgin)
GOING BUT DOING THE OLYMPIC DISTANCE
Garr (Hopefully! Should be able to get away with not training for this one!!)
LJS (if I can persuade him to go)
oxy- (will this be the best supported pirate race ever? Just cause i want to race Garr, it can be an undertrained/campness ultimate face off!)
NEVER DOING AN IRONMAN EVER (I think this is the same as dithering)
Shiraz (V)
SUPPORTING
LE - Possibly maybe, also looking at doing the Oly tri the day before, unless I do Bala on July 14 2009...
Mr emmi and mini emmi Pirates (maybe 2, maybe 3?)
Mrs Podro and the Podlets
Mrs Silent Assassin & mini Assassin
No im doing them both..
So next year may look something like this?
Jan - Tough Guy
Feb - Tring to Town
May - IM Lanzarote
June - Pennine Duathlon
July - IM Switzarland
Im also toying with the idea of squeezing in IM South Africa in April and Ironman Wisconsin in September (well thats unless I decide to do the triple).
IMSA is HARD man
Not for softies.
Is like....it's WORSE than Lanza man!
Could I do both?
IMCH and Lanza? Or is that being stupid?
Id say yes but im sure others wont agree.. I say yes on the basis of if you can get round Lanza 3 months is enough time to recover and do another Ironman. You should be able to retain enough fitness to complete Switzerland on just a little maintenance training.
If you do two you need to focus entirely on the first event as it'll take 6-8 weeks to fully recover from the underlying fatigue.
barley
You need to take the V from your name as we all know your not a virgin (well Ironman virgin at least)
Says he with the month back to back races?
I want to do both. I dont' want to miss out on anything.
(am such a child)
Yea but im insane and ive got years of base fitness..
I'm not doing that.
I want my half IM in Jan, an IM later on and then maybe 2 other events later in the year.
