Ironman Lanzarote 2013 (3rd weekend in May?)

Of course you can .. you can see if you can lap me by teatime !!

Swimming tomorrow??

Maybe a silly question ....... but following on from another thread recently, is there any medical clearance or similar that is required before departure/entrance/registration (apart from the Tri Licence) or that something peculiar to France?

Spooky .. my post seems to have been swallowed!

I dont remember any medical clearance needed, I think we did in Nice if I remember correctly
Barlos should know

I am waiting on the Admiral letting me know which apartment blocks they used a couple of years ago, these were well positioned away from   the nightlife on The Strip (you dont want that the nights after the race) and yet close enough for a short stroll down to the start in the morning and for all the bars and cafes

I think it would be far easier for me to give the link for the apartments and then for people to pair up (if needed) for accommodation and book seperately, of coure it is not a legal requirement to stay at PSOF central and there will be many venues that are homed in on though the week/10 days !!!

Rafiki, not medical certificate as far as I remember, well there wasnt last time in 2007.

Meldy, these apartment blocks, is there a pool?  I thought the the preference was a Villa? 

Yes there was a pool .. if someone wants to sort a villa and see what the take up is then crack on but I got the impression that an apartment block would be a good idea

Barlos - how did you get on today?

Pretty good really, swam in 7:29 (not counting the time on the swimthread as want like for like comparison so will only count times in my local pool), hammered the bike in 39 mins and 31 for the run (the run was hot).

1:22 overall

Nice going!

Was thinking of meeting up for a swim after work when the Admiral is down this way, do you use the new pool in Bletchley?  You could come and show us how its done !!

Yes I use the pool in Bletchley, its nice as its a new leisure centre, let me know when (cant do Monday's as its swimclub).

OK ..usually a Tuesday and I think the old boy could do with some swimming help 

Apparently still accepting entries, 70 places left...get in before its too late....you know you want to.

yay - its gonna be busier this year

- all those victims to overtake on the bike....
(and lots more people to overtake me on the run
