I will see how I get on with my first full distance at The Outlaw this year. I am tempted by Bolton next year.
Thought I would tag on Dave's thread rather than start one.
Due to family holiday I don't think I will get to do Outlaw half (notts) again next year like I wanted so I am looking for another half to do either the week or a couple of weeks before within a couple of hours of nottinghamshire.
Bala? (its 2 hours, so just on your travel limit)
There might be one near Stamford in June 2017 at a superb venue..... so only 45 mins or so from Notts.... will keep you posted on whether it gets off the ground or not....
Bala is pretty hilly isn't it?
Nah... Bala's pretty much flat
IM 70.3 Staffs is mid june
cotswolds 113
or look at the Titan events
to be fair - Bala is my half PB course
(caveat - when I used to be fit)
Apparently even the swim is hilly !!!
Although was there on Sat, and it did look rather nice.
It's an out & back swim up hill both ways !
To be fair Dave, the swim in Bala in 2011 was so choppy that more often than not you were catching air not water, so maybe it's fair to say there's a lot less drag in a Bala Lake swim than anywhere else?
Is that because only about 10 people finished? hehehehe
Hmmm, I'm certainly not a lightweight racing snake, but I could pretend to be if I can use it as my excuse for bailing that year?
Th weather that day was described as biblical down in the New Forest.....an apt description
managed a 4:51 in Bala in 2008 - as I say - a loong time a go !
So green card has been sanctioned for the following 2017 events :
May - IM Lanzo
June - IM Austria (if I get in) or Outlaw as a backup
Sepetmber 70.3 Croatia - Pula
December IM Western Australia
I can confirm that it was indeed, biblical.
as summed up in my Quin report " Meteorological Armageddon of biblical proportions "
Thanks for the advice everyone just decided to make the family go on holiday in Easter
Simo - you mean you have rescheduled your "training camp" for Easter - you sell it to the wife as a family holiday, you just forget to tell her you have packed the wettie, trainers and bikebox...
oooh nice - may see you out there
Since I've 'outed' myself in other social media I can happily say I'm signed up for Lanza next year
(Bolton just doesn't have the sunshine)
Other than that it's pretty difficult to tell them apart eh
Yay! Cannot wait for Lanza 2017 - The Return
