First topic message reminder :
Hello all, gulp, here goes....
I've entered the Outlaw Long Distance and was thinking of doing a few middle distance events in the build up. So would like to know who else is doing what and when. I'm thinking of doing Bala Middle and the Trentham Big Half, anyone else doing these?
Perhaps it would be a good idea to put on the forum who's doing which events so we could all buddy-up etc and have a laugh!
Cheers, Jaffa (Nigel Turner, newbie!)

Hmmmmm,Think the weather is going to be a bit of everthing tomorrow.Jaffa soz to hear about your injuries but we can ride and then decide on how far we run if that works for all.Personally particularly interested in bike course recce.Interesting comments from "H" re the wind.I had heard it was suceptable to wind on the bike.I understand that the particularly rough bits of raod are to be covered in some way for the return to watersports centre?Will be interesting to see how they manage that?Anway looking forward to it,will be there hopefully slightly early and will aim for main car park.Will be in a black van.Elsie have your number so if we miss then sure we can manage a meet somewhere catch you all tomorrow Jez

Thanks guys, had a good day - feeling a bit better about it now (but not much!). Hope the tapers go well (Jaffa!) and you both stay fit. I'll be mainly resting my hip for the next 3 weeks and crossing my fingers! See you in 3 weeks

Hi guys,Elsie thanks for the info and also thanks for the ride and run yesterday.really enjoyed it and think riding the bike course was invaluable. You are right what a lovely bloke Rob was and like you was interested in reading his recent results/history when i got in last night.For him to spend that amount of time out of what was obviously a training ride was fantastic.Not many pros of any sport would do that.He certainly gets my vote.Hope that hip is ok jez

Hi Jez / Elsie, it was a top day on Sat, loads of time in t'saddle and even managed the run without severe pain (not so fortunate yesterday though, calf and shin playing up again!!!). Let's hope the wind's not around come race day! Hopefully see you both on the big day!!!
