I'd love to do it, but short of quitting my job, training full time, oh and some liposuction to get the excess weight off to help with the bike, i'd better say no Good luck O.C
X-man will be all about survival..... Its gonna be interesting chasing the cut offs I did 80k of the lanza bike course this year- the flat bit so I think I need to be hitting the hills in a big way over the winter.....
I just need to work on getting permission to also enter the main pirate race..
Barley - even if it didn't become THE pirate race, it could be A big pirate race. Maybe not next year - already commited other stuff. But perhaps we coudl start a concerted campaign to get the ship out there for 2013?

Hi GFB! We met at CLS in March! How did Mr GFB get on at the weekend?
OC - I've done loads of the bike course. It's a bitch. But then it's Lanzarote and Has To Be Done at some stage. I salute you!

Tempted,
loved it in 2010
Got to say im also tempted
Really glad Lanza didnt bite the dust it would leave a massive hole in the Ironman calendar if this race was no more.
I think its about time the pirates man up for one year and make this the pirate championship.
My aim is to do it for my 50th - 2013
MrGFB got on great...a pb swim and bike but a pw run lol! But just happy for another finish.
Your turn next, GFB.

Oh yes, I remember that thread. So Pkim - when are you 40?
think i'm going to have to have a year off from IM in 2013 so I can do a few running things, like Two Oceans or Comrades. And New York mara.
Hey Henny
2015 although some people might not agree and say I'm still 14 mentally
I'm having my no racing at all year this one... just fixing stuff with my running, cycling and swimming... gotta say it feels good.
Pkim - sometimes i am just a tiny bit jealous of that...
aaarghhhhhhh............I officially retire from work 31 Dec 2014! That makes me 25 years older than you Pkim!
IML is too tough for me now - 10 years ago I might've comtemplated joining in.
wow she's really clocking up the Big Ones, isn't she!
My first Ironman of 2012 will be Lanza....
I feel a list coming on
We're on Fire!
