Outlaw 2013

nah it was 3k in 1hr 25 then 1500 seperately!

Good going though EP.

Brit - my current employer is based in the US, so very pro-Mil and ensure one is never out of pocket. Previous employer gave me 2 weeks extra unpaid hol. Horses for courses!

Anybody heard any rumblings about extending the entry beyond the initial 1,000? I'm currently without a race entry for next year but on the reserves list for this one. Tempted to jump on something else, just in case.

Slower they have a few entres for a charity from what I've heard they arn't being snapped up so they might nearer the date release them. At the end of the day afraid a few people always have to drop out so keep the faith and see what happens.

Red you mean be at the same race again

I've finaly given in to mucky school kids germs and have a cold. Pounding head, sore eyes, and a nose that won't stop dripping. Hubby being on nights and my not being able to sleep is making me feel worse.

Good job the plan starts next week so I can rest without feeling guilty!

EP we will race him and beat him this time I've set man trap's on the course.  Anyway take a look at what you put at the top of this page take a step back and a deep breath and think for a sec 2 or 3 years ago when first met you handing out stuff at registration at outlaw did you think that was something you could just say without it being a major achievement? Time to believe my lovely you are going to kick arse this year! You just need to believe.  *sit's in lotus hippy position*

Besides you will go fast or I'm heckling you all the way.

Thanks Cake! It does seem a little unreal when I think back but I like the plan!

Red dog you is just plan silly!

Are the Finkers ready to rumble?  

Week 1 - Outlaws ... rrrrreadyyyy!!!  

Started 2 weeks ago, planning on having a weeks holiday in march so I started early. Xmas parties have not been kind to my training schedule, do not feel like training today after last nights few beers 

I'm ready  honest.......someone tell me what i should be doing tomorrow

Rest day!!

Yup. Have rested all week in preparation for tomorrow

I ran long today.i think I will havr to rearrange my rest day.can't start a week on a rest day

Ok folks I need advice

I'm new to teaching - 2nd full year

I got a cold tuesday having been snotty the week before so rested totally as colds tend to lead to coughs within 48 hrs for me. Today I woke up feeling a tone better ready to rock n roll tomorrow and tonight I get the hacking cough. I know that freezing weather & hacking coughs = no training *grrrr* but how do I prevent this again? I knew I was run down as before the cold hit I started getting some spots (I hardly get them) and a mouth ulcer (again never get that) and I'd only done a coupleof heavier weeks maxing at 6hrs

piss off and haven't even started  on the plus side I haven't caught the S&D that's been going round school!

cant help there other than taking echinacea to try an prevent them in the 1st place, my hacking cough was asthma!

on an upbeat note my achilles tear has healed enough for me  to cycle and use the elipticle trainer (sub for running sessions) so game on Fink!!!

I'm spending the first week of Fink at a hotel with a superb gym and nice pool, in a moment of madness  I signed up to do a spin class at 06:30 tomorrow morning so no rest day for me.

good luck all you Finkers, enjoy the training and I hope all of you with injuries / illness are soon recovered.

RP - Yay! 

EP - Ulcers at this time in the term is normal. Its been a long term. Don't be a martyr, and take time off work. You will not get a medal for going in when you're ill, and at this point in the term your defences are low anyway. Don't train when you're chesty ...
