pastapouch Posted April 4, 2011 Posted April 4, 2011 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" Well, Specsavers put a serious lot of money into IM... if you say you're gonna wear the top and you wear something else its like breach of contract... If Im' not mistaken its also a 2 year ban.

camerons Posted April 4, 2011 Posted April 4, 2011 I'm getting properly excited now. A lot less nervous than I was before last years effort. I have also done a lot less training this time round so I hope I am not being overconfident.... Just had a look at the long term forecast and it looks like the weather is playing ball so far. I'm number 388 - Cameron. Say hi if you pass me as I am out there by myself.

Let's all hook up at the race brief / pasta party (even if you don't stay for pasta). I'll be at PECS at 5:45 - will wait at the entrance for hubbers.
