Well I decided a while ago I may not be racing this race..... UNFORTUNTLY for you lot I have just paid and entered....... I'm going too France! This is raf's bloody fault.... I hate you for this!
I'm glad to see we've got the blame game sorted out nice and early for this trip
From the look of that list the 'pointy end' will be interesting! OC, Funkin and now the young pretender, Whiz!!
It'll be a fight between Lil' Sis and me as to who's bringing up the rear!!
I'm looking forward too it! I've pulled my finger out and joined masters swim, tri swim and probably 1vs1 session... If I can actually do a decent swim it will be a fight over the bike course me thinks!
Masters swim is great, the only thing you may find is that you could be in the slow lane with the older swimmers, I was at my local masters.
In joining they required you to compete, I took part in the National Age Group Championships in Sheffield last September and was at my best swim fitness ever (having done 1.04 at outlaw).
I was last in my age group at 50m, 2nd from last overall having narrowly beaten a 70+ year old
Masters is all the swimming I've done this year apart from the 2 long distance open water swims at the IM. No difference in time at all to previous years! Pah
Whiz - Good to see your name on the list for Nice. Also about time you sorted out your swimming, and if you stopped chatting and actually run you will be in for a great time.
Barley - i have no ego when it comes too swimming i really dont mind being in the slow lane... My problem is obviously technique and im a bit lazy when swimming... Hopefully il get better =]
Pingu - that is odd! I would have expected it to go down really
St - pfff its not as if it was a race! I was just enjoying my day out haha!!!
Nah, the Pointy End is sorted if a certain someone actually gets himself sorted to train, doesn't get pissed up the night(s) before and actually performs to his ability.
That's my considered opinion anyway and I know these things I do.

Yes we did... If I'm crap it's your fault... If I'm great it was my idea with no help from you... This sound like a plausible idea?
Nice to see some talent on the list at last
You talking about Barlos who just put his name down? Schmunks'll have you!
Yeah, but is there any triathlon talent on the list ?
I'm not .. and she couldn't
I think Hope and Garr are in as well!

I would join the Masters session but I cant (and dont want to) do butterfly and they are usually held at bedtime
Whiz, that was kind of what I meant, didn't do half the training of prev years and it didn't really impact my time, I'm a one speed swimmer!
M.eldy, I have never, nor do intend ever to do butterfly, it looks hard and I'm sure I'd breath water up my nose

Pingu .. for my local masters its a stipulation so I wont go ...
Goldenboots is the pointy end?
Mai oui, monsieur
Going too have too have the race of my life too match funkin.... But to be honest I'm going too make him work his arse off if he wants too win!
I do like a good fight
I will be ready for it.... I like being the underdog
It's not funkin you have to worry about Whiz
Do we need to get GB pissed again then?!!
I hope not! I want to finally see him race to his potential. I do. He could be bloody brilliant.
I distinctly remember Whiz saying that next year he would concentrate on cycling only!
Oops
And I distinctly remember Mrs W saying oh no he's not! Do LG sell trousers, as I think Whiz might be after a pair
Ah sod it.... go on then....
just entered, got my confirmation email and everything.....
Oh sh*t
