Cool! Which plan are you following? I'm using the 'Just finish' programme, as realistically, that's what i'm aiming for! My three goals for IMR are: 1) get to the start, having successfully completed the training; 2) make the cut-offs! and 3) enjoy it if I can do those three things, i'll be very happy indeed.
Go fot it Lee i am sure you will makethe cut off and the dismantling this year, yours was a gutsy performance last year may see you there still choosing..Bala,ADITLs, Cowman or Cotswold ..eeny meeny miny mo
Hey there Ridgeback Can you do all of them, or are they on different days? Hehehehehe. Would be good to see you at Bala, but i'm sure i'll catch you at some tri or other this year. Which iron distance are you doing?
Although, I am looking just(!) to finishing it, I am following the Competitive Plan (with a few ammendments) but mainly just because the volume suited me more. I lose confidence very quickly so I need to be training as much as possible.
I don't know if I should be doing Bala with the aim of improving last year's time or doing it at IM pace as preparation.
Still haven't actually entered Bala yet, due to Christmas bills, Outlaw entry and Gym membership renewel, I hoping I should be okay to enter in February.

So Outlaw wasn't your last then mate!!!!!
My feet are still giving me hell, now in bith feet and haven't run for 3 months........
Hahahaha, I KNEW you wouldn't be able to resist the lure of the Iron-distance race this year Ridgeback! I should have put money on it, and that might have paid for Bala Speaking of which, I have run out of cheques, so will have to wait until I get a new book sent through. It is probably for the best though, because I checked my bank today, and was horrified to find i'm about £400 short of where I thought I should be, so can't afford entry this month anyway, arggggggg. Hopefully it won't be full by February!
The feet will sort them selves out Max....... although this week has been particulary bad!! Have to stay positive
I've entered IMR with everyone else on here by the looks of it and will hopefully do the same halfs i did this year in the build up to Outlaw, which will be
May - Beaver Half June - Bala Half July - Cowman Half August - IMR September - Vitruvuan
If it aint't broke don't fix it is my method this year, but with loads more bike work!!
I've binned Ironman plan for 2011 - recovery from foot surgery nowhere near as speedy s I hoped & I'm just getting back into things after 3 months off & it's feels like starting from scratch!
Anyway this is now on my list - it'll fit in nicely & get my fitness up before I head to the alps at the end of June
Ditto AC, love to do it but they don't half start adding up. There's middle distance in July with sea swim that I've got my eye on, not sure I can justify Bala too .....
I bought a mahoosive new sleeping bag after that trip, and every time i've used it since, it has been too warm, and I have to use it like a duvet, hehehehe.
That was the coldest May night for 10 years!!! I've still got the frostbite scars....
Dam I'll have to get my finger out and put some invoices out, On the plus side at least I'll get some paperwork done hope it doesn't fill before the boat comes in though .
+3 I need to wait until i'm paid, as i've not enough money in my cheque-booked account! Fingers crossed it won't be closed, but tbh I think we'll be fine.....hopefully!

IM Wales is just to tempting what are your plans if your feet sort them selves out?

Evening all!

See y'all there!
To Bala or not ... that is the question ...

Lea, are you organising another pre race camp out
I bought a mahoosive new sleeping bag after that trip, and every time i've used it since, it has been too warm, and I have to use it like a duvet, hehehehe.
That was the coldest May night for 10 years!!! I've still got the frostbite scars....
But not lycra and neoprene ?
And Ditto ....... is there no way of paying by credit card? I have an offer of interest free for three months on purchases which would work fine.
Mine went in the post today too. Been meaning to do this one for a couple of years, so can't wait!
Nope, no way to pay by credit card, it's cheque or BACS only!!
I've printed the form out but like i've said until there's cash available it's on the back burner!!
