Guys!

What are your plans for the last few weeks of the season (I know it's hard to swallow!) ? Gis a list!

I now have just <sob> a few left :
himuk - 31 aug
sevenoaks - 17 aug
south shrop - 31 aug
chiswick dry tri 18 oct

managed to get my first disqualification at thames turbo yesterday for breaking t-lights on the bike. bit bloody annoying at time. I did have a good 30-40metres but its bloomin tricky trying to go from 26mph to 0 in 40metres, clipped into pedals and on tri-bars. but at least they took splits for me.

chris, i see you have the same aug/sept confusion as me!

26/08/2003 at 16:48

Daz - how can you do two races on the same day? I don't think even the WildOne would do that.

its based in ludlow jj, do you know the town?
its basically built on and around a hill, with a castle on top. the race takes place at the leaisure centre, about one mile north, down the road (corve street i think). i used to go to college here. very friendly place.

will you come!? yay!

26/08/2003 at 16:56

I LOVE LUDLOW! It's beautiful and unspoilt.

I might be able to sort something...

Leybourne next Wednesday
Southwater - 6th Sept
Sevenoaks - 14th Sept

I also entered the Nov 10K in Brighton but have just been reminded we have other commitments that day - doh!. I may have a go at the Chelmsford 10K the following week instead.

So sad that my first seasons coming to an end already, looking forward to next year.

Shock horror! Just re-read the details for Sat and discovered the course is a bit longer than I thought - 700m swim instead of 600m. Might not seem a lot to you, but as someone who always dreads the swim, an extra 100m isn't a pleasant surprise.
