Yet another good excuse (the 'I dont travel well' one) goes for a Burton....

Well, the support might be good?!

Not sure if I made a mistake in entering this one!! I do like a challenge though. Spaces are filling up, so come join us. The more the merrier

I will be there...................... Very Happy

to support with my deck chair and flask.
It will be a long day for me and it will be very hard to complete as the deck chair is not very confortable after 10 hours but i will survive. Laughing

I will make sure that all of you that are competing will see and hear me Wink

Not Long now Shocked

10 hours? You'll have to be there for longer than that! Rolling Eyes

I actually enjoyed hacking round 1 loop of the Outlaw the other day... had a ready-made excuse that I was 'waiting for my mate' when caught by another TNTer doing the same Wink

One thing - it definitely is NOT the peak district over there.... but somehow I feel that those 'little bumps' on the way to Southwell will feel like Winnats Pass by the 3rd loop
Shocked

Anyone planning any more recce's of the course either this weekend / later in July?

Can provide transport to HPP, just need a guide round the course!

I havent got any more recce's planned... but I did end up on a family picnic at HPP recently and so 'tested' the run route (only once over the paths though not the repeats!!).

Anyhow - it is incredibly flat Very Happy

getting awfully close now! Shocked

Desperately trying to avoid reading TriTalk and feeling paranoid that everyone else seems to have done way more training!!

Who else is doing it now entries are closed... same 4?

Will definitely be there Paul. Really looking forward to a long day out in normal weather after a week training in Columbus, Georgia - it was over 100degF every day and the hotel's outdoor swimming pool was warmer than my bath! See you in the worldest longest swimming pool on Sunday morning...

Glad to hear it Steve... Conditions should be slightly cooler hopefully! As for me, I am now 'drowning' under a sea of lists.... got to do something with all this taper inspired time!
