Wetsuit!
Who farted?
I am finding myself strangely attracted to your wetsuit Rafi. Since we are now going to be roomies, please wear it when you are making my breakfast
.

If you have a TT bike then its ideal.....
If you have a road bike add some TT bars.
The hills aren't short sharp buggers - you can stay TT ing for lots, then hoof i out of the saddle where needed.
Its not an IM Wales, ie where lots of quick gear chainging is needed.
The last third is a straight TT, (excluding the pave section)
Deep section wheels may not be such a good option..... depends on the winds, and if you get x winds on the big downhills then......
I have been busy on ebay, and now have a set of hed 6 / 9s. I dont think I'll take them out to lanza though....Last year there was a mix of disk wheels, deep sections and normal wheels........
Im going tuesday to tuesday, probably traveling alone so will be looking to share a pad in pirate accomodation.
Anyone recommend a website or shop in the midlands?
Pingu -
is this some sort of fetish we should be aware of before we go to Lanza ??
Although, I could have used one of those for this morning's Olly - 'bobbing' round the lake might have been slightly easier than swimming
Cheers OC - was planning on using my TT - just need to change the gearing now I've finished this seasons Ollys
I hear Sram have just brought out a 10-42 cassette. You won't need the 10 though
I am planning to be there Tuesday to Tuesday to allow for a couple of OW swims before the event. Please put on list for apartment.
I was out there a couple of weeks ago and did most of the bike course, as noted elsewhere the hills are not really a problem, the difficulty will come from the strength and direction of the wind. (last week 37km/h from NNE). Sadly I did not do the last bit downwind from Nazaret.
I look forward to seeing you there.
It used to be 1500 and for years the race never filled, think the first time was 2009 maybe?
Looks like theyve increased it by a good portion, cant be much more though.
Going to be great with so many starting, there were 3500 entered for Coeur DeAlene this year and whilst many races have a 10-15% drop out is brill being on such a big start (also less lonely at the back).
They said 1800 on the web site not long ago - must be the draw of so many Pirates doing it, bringing in extra customers - either that or Pingu in her special 'wetsuit'
I am now registered to IM Lanzarote. I wanted to wait until after IM blues but ... I always knew I wanted to do this so ... Lanzarote - Alp D'Huez - Henley or Wales it is next year (Wales only on the event of DNF).

Did you manage to get an entry or are you just hanging around to point and laugh??
Pointing and laughing seems a tad cruel eh?
