Hope FatBuddha IronRose TheCount PinguPongu Seren Nos Who have I missed? I think this will be pretty well supported. Hope alone will have about 15 people there.
Slag great report you are the man we were on our way back to Pendean as we were all stuffed and I was watching the 15 hours + peeps sloggng it out in the rain for their finishes realy impressive
that depends on your strengths....austria is considered one of the easiest...............some are flatter.......some have 15 hour cutoffs others 17...............depends if you like heat or hills or can cope with totakl flat.............. Its an ironman so none of them are easy
Have people got target times they hope to achieve? I'm thinking 1:30/7:15/4:00ish to finish somewhere around 13 hours - this is only a guess though as I have little to base it on, and I'm not going to be too hung up on missing it
I'm kind of hoping to do a sub-14 but we'll see my PB is 11:54 (Florida - flat), PW is 13:28 (Austria - bad cramps) but this is a much tougher course than any I've done so far so if I can dip under 14 I know I've done well. between 14 and 15, I'll take grudgingly, anything over 15 will be a bad day out and something's gone…
I have a figure in mind based on previous experience and the course - if it happens I'll be well chuffed. I think a 4hr marathon after a 7:15 bike might be a bit optimistic but I don't know what your running is like. do you have a marathon PB??
Oh no Slagiat. That's not what you needed right now! Was this in Tenby? We just have to trust that the race organisers are going to be on top of this issue. They've been aware of it for months. My last long run ended 15 mins short with me in floods of tears. Energy crash. Oh well. Too late to panic now Great running seren,…
