going to be staying an apartment in the town this year. and some decent sherpas.........I'm going to need everything to be going for me if i'm going to slay that dragon
I was able to see the swim from my bedroom window. Then me and a few others decamped to my bedroom to watch the run as they came in front of our hotel four times each lap
Seren - you left off EtonMan. The new VoTwo run IronDistance race at Dorney lake. I imagine the swim would be similar to Outlaw, but the 36 bike laps of the lake, and 9 laps on foot may take the piss.

i used to think i would never do a lap race but after enduroman i'm not so sure.....i enjoyed the laps there...but then it was a varying scenery and elevation......not sure going a round a lake would be the same
Now I think I could cope with monotony .... rather like swimming up and down doesnt bother me much either, I like not having to think too much ! Not sure how that would translate to 36 laps of a lake tho
jesus, 8 laps of Dorney for an Oly was enough for me to loose the will to live, but 36 so so boring, but at least you'd get to see your supporters a lot
according to their web site its only a half IM - bit even so I think you'd die of boredom! Plus, the little I watched yesterday (it was too cold to hangaround) the organisation - or lack of it - was teribble. I saw three crashes coming into T2 as no-one knew where to go!!
Crashie - yes indeed, I'm doing Vichy half because I'm no longer allowed to do the full IM, my titanium hip won't take it- glad to see you and ATOM are going to be there. Hope that your missus will be there too?

Is that a full one ??
Dorney, not the willy
According to the flyer I got today, yes!
Blimey .... spoilt for choice !
I am not sure it will get that many takers? Hasnt actually got much of a wow factor?

can't find anything on their website for that cat.same as with the bath one
'EtonMan'
Difficult to balance the top hat during the swim, and those tails are a nigthmare on the bike.
I know you don't like swimming, but an IM in a bath?
But they hide the evidence of GI issues on the run!

Grrr!
The marshals were also men. I would have been told that T2 was left at the Dorney Arms, but the bike course was straight on past the King's Head.
Anyhow, was too busy racing fast like a real man.
You see ... they got it all wrong didnt they
men & directions, never a good combination
