Think you are right on this and actually in my swiftness to gloat at the Freds forgot that happened the sprint in the NAC, Skerries under Voldemort, the duathlons and so on.

Can we change the forum name to
"Aquathons and mud wrestling"

Accepted route is:
1. Sign up for Iron Man Dublin

yes, a pink full tattoo should be fine, as well, as it leaves people guessing ;-)
