Ironholgs - I have brought your book along with Don Fink's 'Be Iron Fit' and have managed to convince myself that this is an entirely realistic goal..... eeeeekkkk
Hello folks just been put onto this thread by Soup Dragon.
A couple of you know me already but most don't, did my first tri at Nantwich in May (fun distance) and have got Trentham (sprint) next month and Nantwich again in September and have decided to F*£k it and go all out next year for Outlaw.
As it stands my most recent milestone in swimming was 500m, so a very long way to go with that one
My bike is ok although the most I've ever ridden is about 70 miles.
My run is ok too and I've covered marathon distance a couple of times.
I don't know how on earth I'm gonna finish this race but I'm gonna do it somehow!!
I'm in the same boat big al.... F*#k it you only live once if you never give it a go .....

11 months should be fine *que panic attack*
You'll be fine, and the pirate support will spur you along.

Just a hypothetical question - is it possible to do an IM on a hybrid?
