  EEK!!!  Good luck folks, hope you get in!!  I might come out and watch, as I loved my recent hol there, and supporting is ace

Tempting ... tempting ... I'm trying to talk the missus into a few days away, can't bring the kids though cos it's school time.  Wanted to do Wales 2013 for my first, but that's still 16 months away.  Although I like the idea of the whole family being there...

Jay, I think you're right, it might take a couple of months.  Some folk might be waiting a bit to sign up for financial reasons, though, so I hope it isn't sold out by the time they can pay.  It is difficult to know how quick these things sell out sometimes.  Maybe the recession will delay the sell out a bit!

I read somewhere it took four months to sell out last year (maybe Barlos said that??)

and you believe anything Barlos says ?????

Good point Dave - but I've just read back and checked ...it was actually M..eldy that said that...... so it may have sold out already!!

Oh braver man than I!!

But perhaps a new book in there somewhere - Can't Knit, Can't Crochet, Can't Sew!!

Having just read holg's semi-race report I'm not so sure about Lazna; hills & hard work I can deal with but this little black duck does not cope very well with heat so might be a UK based event for me to pop my IM cherry!

Yeah shas79 it's the heat that worries me.  And in Wales there'd be real ale for celebrating, too.  Big concern, that.

I hope not as I don't have one!!

I've got a cycling proficiency badge somewhere - will that do?
