So Cake and Frodo, did you manage to exchange the wetsuit?

Afraid not Al - it got left in Sheffield by mistake.
I think Cake is in Scotland this weekend, and I'm not doing the Monday night fell race in Sheffield cos I did a 22mile one today

so I guess Cake will post to you instead, or maybe bring it across on Wed?

Mistake on my part. Going to Salfoud again this wednesday so will make sure I pack it.

What are the times on Wednesday? I've looked on the Salford council website and they only list Mon, Tue and Thurs (6-8:30pm) as open water swimming with Mon and Thur being the coached sessions.

It’s Wednesday 6 till 8.30 I’m going to be getting the train at 5.15 from Sheffield. Sarah the bookworm might be about to get a lift off some mates and be there earlier. So if she is I’ll ask her to bring the wetsuit with her instead of lugging two on the train. She will be easy to spot just look for a gorgeous lady 5 foot tall with a pixie hat. I’ve got a picture handy so lets see if this works.

Big Al - just a nudge to let you know that the pirate massive is going to doing the Outlaw next year if you care to step on board. Enjoy Take That. I'm taking my mum to see them Wembley at the end of this month for her 80th birthday.

Sadly I can't make Bristol tri any more.

Evening all, a message from Cake - he's currently dying of man flu and is unlikely to make it to Salford Quays tomorrow. He also said to say that he's a big wimp and that he likes dressing up as a Las Vegas showgirl and being called Melinda

+1 for the splutter

Soup, did I really just see you sign up for Outlaw 2012?

Soup Dragon

14/06/2011 at 22:52

Yep - I'm up for it. What about you? I saw you lurking.

*Frodo*

14/06/2011 at 23:01

Oh, I'm a definite if I don't change jobs

and I'll know if I'm changing jobs in the next ten days or so

Fingers crossed for you Frodo. This is my best chance for IM. I work part time at the mo and not having to spend money and travel and things means I can invest in some swimming coaching and perhaps a bike setup. Bring it on...........

And so it begins Frodo and Big Al you have the time to do it, go on you know you want to? There is a strong chance I will be playing to depending on family situation at that point.

Afraid I’m quite poorly today so can’t pop over to manc tonight. Will be going next week hopefully through, Worst case I’m doing a half ironman relay with steve Ho next weekend so can pass wetsuit then because meeting up in Manchester on the Saturday.

Not sure I'm gonna make it tonight myself Melinda, I mean, Cake, only just heading back from Cardiff (with a copious amount of beer and cider headache

) and have to pick our daughter up when we get back. Take That were really good as too were the Pet Shop Boys (a real camp fest!) I should say something really macho now, like "I only went cos I knew there'd be loads of women there" but I was with my missus anyway and I got a million brownie points for them tickets......times 10!! And if I'm honest I actually enjoyed myself despite the scepticism

Outlaw, Outlaw, what to do? Hmmmm, I'm probably gonna do it. I'm about 90% commited at the minute and I'm gonna start training for it now alongside my Liverpool marathon training. Providing everything has gone ok training wise then I'll put my entry in early next year. So pencil me in for now.

Big Al - are the Pet Shop boys supporting Take That?

They certainly are Soup and both acts put on a great show.
