'Dale Posted April 3, 2011 Posted April 3, 2011 Swim like a dolphin.Ride like Burry.Run laaik a cheetah! Have a good one, Hub Iron Peoples!! All the best with the final tapering and final prep bits.
Thug Posted April 3, 2011 Author Posted April 3, 2011 Done the last of my long distance tapering this weekend.
fabes Posted April 3, 2011 Posted April 3, 2011 just checked the weather and it seems all good but we know the weather man not always right. The wind been blowing here this whole week so hopefully all blown out by Sunday. So exciting cant wait
camerons Posted April 3, 2011 Posted April 3, 2011 does anyone know if the specsavers shirts that we have to wear for the ride and the run (if you did the cheapo entry like me) have decent pockets?

I'm not too sure but I would imagine they do as I've seen a couple and they look like normal sleeveless cycle tops
FC&P2C Posted April 3, 2011 Posted April 3, 2011 I am doing my 6th one. Did bmx Sa's this weekend and came out in one piece. See you in PE.
MariusL Posted April 4, 2011 Posted April 4, 2011 does anyone know if the specsavers shirts that we have to wear for the ride and the run (if you did the cheapo entry like me) have decent pockets? last years tops had two pockets at the back (made by anotomic) - decent size for lots of food Not sure who is making this years tops - could be new balance but not sure...
fabes Posted April 4, 2011 Posted April 4, 2011 weather still looking good http://www.windguru.cz/int/index.php?sc=208288
fabes Posted April 4, 2011 Posted April 4, 2011 light west is perfect for the cycle route. Looks like it might get hot but give me heat anyday rather than and easterly wind of any speed
DaLoCo Posted April 4, 2011 Posted April 4, 2011 I would like to come and support, but have to play some music first in the morning Does anyone have info as to where the finish is, I keep ending up on the wrong websites, or even just a link to the right one. I would like to see routes so i can plan some vantage points. Maybe drive to the finish and cycle to the spectator points

If you can get to hobie you will get to see alot of the action but if its too far you can go to seaview road and watch the cycling from there. But by the time you get there the top guys will be running i think. Including me haha i wish

rudi-h Posted April 4, 2011 Posted April 4, 2011 looked on my watch last night 20:45, hoping that i'd be done by then in a weeks time
Shebeen Posted April 4, 2011 Posted April 4, 2011 does anyone know if the specsavers shirts that we have to wear for the ride and the run (if you did the cheapo entry like me) have decent pockets?how do they stop you from wearing another shirt on the day...honour system?
MariusL Posted April 4, 2011 Posted April 4, 2011 (edited) how do they stop you from wearing another shirt on the day...honour system? If you are caught wearing a non Spec-Savers shirt (they use the finishers photo as proof) you become liable for full entry price... and yes - they are very strict about it and Mr Wolff hammers it down our throats at race briefing... rules are rules and these IM officials take no k@k... it just boils down to ethics - you take the discounted entry on the condition you wear the Spec Savers top, if you get DQ'd for being a tjop - you can't blame anyone but yourself. A guy was seriously wrapped over the knuckles last year for using his cellphone - he used the excuse he was calling his wife to fetch him... Mr Wolff's reply - "how is your wife gona fecth you, there are full road closures - yellow card - five minutes in the penalty tent for you" Edited April 4, 2011 by MariusL
8848 Posted April 4, 2011 Posted April 4, 2011 see you guys there, ready for my second one (last was 2007), am in better shape this year, but anything can happen over 12, or 17 hours... does anyone have any idea what this years race tops look like?
