    I'm in. Have a 3:02:38 PB from last year. Hoping to run with the 3hr pacers this year and lose those bastard 159 seconds.

    Am doing DCM too. Hoping for a sub 3. Definitely not doing this the convential way! Havent exactly given myself huge time to ramp up the long runs so after two hours (longest ive done in a good two to three years) will be interesting. Should be managable though. Ran a 01:29 (slight short though I think, by about 300 - 400m) HM last week in the lost sheep tri on legs that were toast so im thinking theres some endurance there.

    Great
    I am a sub 3hr pacer.
    I have many questions around cranksets, bottom brackets, power meters...
    I can wreck your heads for info then for 3hrs:)

    I get the fact of the enjoyment but why not push yourself, surely you get more enjoyment crossing the line knowing you could give no more. + you will get to admire Oryx in the 3:30 group and laugh at the midget pacing it:)

    Half tempted to do it now myself and run behind you with a big sign "its more like 60km for him, look at this ickle legs"

    3:30 is going to be like a Compressport AGM with all the calf guards and shaved legs that will be there.

    In your current state a sub 3:30 might be a stretch:) I have a feeling the 3:30 group is where the action and fun will be at.

    I hope JB doesn't have to wear a helium balloon? He'll need to wear a pair Kayanos to keep his feet on the ground ;)*

    Planning on doing it. Did a 20 miler this morning and hated every step of it. Misery heaped upon misery. I was hoping for sub 3 but after this morning...confidence booster my arse!

    *I may or may not be the same height as him.

    Lads, you know you can't all just line up behind the pacer to let him pull you around, right?:D

    He's 2/3's the way already. Bets on him competing in a duathlon by May 2013?

    Hopefully I'll be getting to know Abhain and KentuckyPete very well that day. Although i know little about PMs etc

    As for Bambatta, you can ignore anything he says, he'll be at least 10 minutes up the road by the finish.

    Thanks for cheering up my day. :)

    Not long now. The Ironmen around here must be fit to burst when their much anticipated races come around.
