Outlaw swim

It's not the weeds you have to worry about its the sharks...honest.

Right, I've signed up with Absolute Tri so I can give swimming at HPP a go. I'm tempted by the Big Speedo swim thing, but if there are sharks... well, the trout in Ullswater were bad enough!

There Zombie sharks too.

I think it'll be next week. I need to perfect a zombie shark brain destroying device

because I'm on the feed station this year you get free entry into the swim events the day before, 3 different distances to do 1.5K, 3K or 5K

Are you going to do one? I'm tempted by the 1.5K - sort of ease myself back into it after the whole Weil's disease episode... I'm assuming the water is top notch given what the place is used for

Yep, will be doing the 5K hopefully

It is there are sometimes leeches but they are rare. Are the medels as cool as the ones lask year for the swim? If they are might betemped the day before outlaw and just do the 1.5k for a laugh.

Not a bad idea Cake.

SA how do we get entry if we're volunteering? I nearly entered on Friday but glad I did't now if there is a chance of free entry instead 
 


 

If you contact the organisers 1 month before the event, tell them you want to marshal (pirate feed station) and can you claim your free entry to the swim the day before

I bet its a wetsuit only swim though.

I am currently talking to OSB about this to see if it is the same terms as last year, so please don't consider it a dead cert that we will get to do the free swim quite yet.  Thanks

Also, if you have put your name down on the Pirate Feed Station List and you still want to do it as part of the Pirates, please do not contact OSB to say you are marshalling as they will believe you are doing it independently of the Pirate Station and you won't get to be on our feed point.

That said, if you do want to do it independently, by all means contact OSB and also let me know.  Thanks
