I have emailed Steve again as I haven't recieved a reply and i'm scared it will fill up before my entry is in
I wore my off road trail shoes on the run............glad I did because the course was so muddy in the rain it would have been a nightmare in road shoes..............on a dry day then road shoes would be better.............therefore I will take both next year.the course changed so quickly
The double is the one that I think is likely to fillup out of all of them...............not sure if it will but its the popular one as its the first step up............
also remember the prices go up onoctober 1st..........................
I am just paranoid as I really want to do it..............I already seem to have the bike course going around and around in my head............
anyone noticed the article in triathlete world about the deca............mainly pictures without to much info about it............
I have to collect my daughter from her orchestra weekend at AT on 16 Oct. Would be fab to combine it with a ride... Purple, you could stay here the night before if you like?
Not sure what my plans are yet for next year, though I should be down for at least a few days to support and or crew for people as needed! Will make a commitment a bit nearer the time.

Planning on the double and dont think Mrs SA and jordy can get the time off to come down, so have no support crew and as your dead speedy you will have completed in half in about 5 hours so you could look after me for the rest of the time
SA - If work allows then i'll crew for you, you were brilliant for me at the Outlaw this year....If you'll have me.
It wasn't too bad..............because of my hand problem I couldn't easily change my gears with the left hand.so did 90% of the course using the one ring of my compact...........just changing for the final long hill each lap..............
apart from that hill its just more undualting........and lots of places to have to slow down for people and road narrowings etc

They need to check with their bank manager first and their OH would go mad as they are meant to be doing other things next year, so I will let them make that decision and out themselves if they want to do it.

I haven't entered yet and wont be for a couple of months, is it likely to fill fast?
I think 50 people are allowed to do the double, how many so far

Seren, are you on Twitter, Steve is doing some peak thing this weekend as he's tweeted but he should still be getting his emails.
yip I'm definitely on the list!!!
9 months to go!!!
I'm hoping to get to AT sometime in Sept if anyone wants to join me for a recce of the course?
It funny.....but I'm glad I didn't rece it....i think I would have thought this isn't so bad................and for a few laps it isn't
appears that Steve did answer my original email but it miust have gone to my junk mail unnoticed amongst the offers to enlarge my penis.............
so I am now entered in the race,,,,,,,,,,,,,,means I have to pay my car tax on the credit card now as run out of money
Didn't you get a free entry Seren or maybe a discount??
hahaha well I have to... have heard enough horror stories and I'd rather see it before D day!!!
Let me know what dates you suit you for Sept and Oct - I know Barley said he was interested in coming along too!16th Oct would be good for me
Symes......don't you know the course in your sleep...........
don't forget to look for the sign for Burley street............so you can sing in the tune of sesame street
Long way to go for an 11 mile ride. How many laps being done ??
Did anyone have their Garmin on when they rode it and like to share the GPX file??
I can't do 15th/16th Oct!

Thanks Seren, wanted to do a recce earlier this year but was advised against by Gertie
Will prob try to get down in Oct if some are thinking of doing one.
Yes please
Might have another entry
Went for a beer last night with another well known pirate and sowed the seeds of doing the double
