Might do this actually. Woddle promised me a lift last year and any opportunity to leave Woddle in my dust is always welcomed.

I suppose we have to level the playing field somehow and the fact I can't swim should help your lost cause

On another note, great race and definitely one to bring the family along to.

elvis jones

Great event and of course............the soup:)

Myself and mrs jones will be there !

Oryx

Highly recommend this. Great event and a challenging enough course! Unfortunately I cant commit to entering this till July, but if I can then, and its not full, I will.

elvis jones

We should be bringing a large group from Trilogy this year........no sign of any 795 at Trilaois ?

DustyBin

Cool, will be great to see groups arriving, always helps with the atmosphere
Hopefully you'll have a bit more luck yourself this time round as well
We've had members at Laois each of the last few years, just not this time round, but we're a lot smaller club than ye guys - can't be everywhere
See you in August

elvis jones

Looks like we'll have about 10 from Trilogy down there:)

How is it selling ?

DustyBin

Hey Elvis
Entries are going really well and much faster than last year
Currently half full we will hopefully fill up earlier than previous years
Looking forward to seeing you and the other lads from trilogy on the day
Hope the bike treats you a bit better this time round

Good to hear, i think there are about 10 of us in total !

I still have to sign up:o

Ya fingers crossed it will be the debut outing for my TT

Kurt Godel

How does the swim grading work? I don't remember putting an estimated time down while entering, are the lanes ranked by ability? How do you pass/get passed?

Looks like there will be a good few Boardsies doing it.

Oryx

Whats the etiquette in pool tris. Say the person behind you is touching your feet during the swim, but you've been relentlessly touching the feet of the person in front of you and they haven't stopped(assuming you can't overtake). Do you stop and let them pass, add more seconds to your swim and put yourself down a placing, or, do you go on?

Oryx

Usually the marshals will spot that and hold the slower person back at the end of the lane. They will tell you in the briefing if passing is allowed.

griffin100

In this race the marshals will watch for slower swimmers and will pull them up at the end of a length. Be sure that you want to pass though, it's a hell of a lot easier swimming in someone's slipstream compared to leading the group and you might find that when you take the lead you could be struggling.

There's no mid length passing in pool swims.

Oryx

Passing is allowed in pool swims sometimes. It was allowed in Joey Hannan, in one direction only.

DustyBin

Just a quick reminder that entries close next Wednesday at 8pm

Over and out for me. I was reminded yesterday and again this morning that I agreed MONTHS ago to have the nephew all weekend while my sister is at a wedding in the UK. No way am I missing training for the little bugger but a trip to the sunny south east is definitely off.

Ha he's 19 months and he'd be nosediving off the top of that within seconds if I left him to it. Unless you're offering to supervise?
