I'm hoping to go up to Swinford for a look and maybe do a swim leg if they're stuck for people. Are you doing Kilkee this weekend?
I must chat to you about this, Mrs C has provisionally signed up to do the swim and run but calved last night over this. We are more than likely going to book a flight to Portugal that evening from Knock so there is pressure on the finishing time for me, anything over 7 hours and she will kill me
But she is worried now as transition area is 15 minutes from finish line with mini-bus every 15 minutes so her provisional entry is up in the air now as she wants to be waiting revving the car as I hobble across the line.
Its only provisional entry at the moment now but the last email i got from them made it sound like more than likely shes in. Yer man in the Humbert Challenge thread Mayo Road Runner is the man to talk to.
Sure you might as well do the lot if you are going to do the swim and run though
PS Interested dont mind pgibbo he is a wimp when it comes to cold water0 -

Yeah I guess from talking to the lads in Swinford that the Knock check in is fairly easy going in comparision to Dublin. If I am not at the finish line in a time agreed with Mrs C I have no doubt I will be picked up by the collar and dragged into the car no matter where I am on the course.
Leaving me to frantically try and scrounge a ticket into the Lost Sheep instead in an effort to get one 1/2 Ironman finished this year. I suppose I better bring the phone with me on the course anyways. I cant afford to screw the holiday up as it is the wedding anniversary that day as well. Extra motivation to keep me moving forward anyways
Shes cute my normal restlessness and boredom on a sun holiday will be neutralised by utter exhaustion for a few days anyways if we fly out on the sunday0 -

Nice one. Any chance of a tow for the swim?
At this stage Ill have about 5 from the club and a couple of other stragglers attached to a drag belt ... hoping for a nice 6-8ft swell of big rollers coming in saturday morning - if Im gonna suffer on the bike and run I may as well clear the stomach with sea sickness before I get on the bike 0 -

26/06/10 OW @kilkee
1500 f/s 20.27
With the time above for the swim Im guessing it was maybe roughly 150/200 metres short - either that or sections were tide assisted. I guess the 'hell' in 'hell of the west' is all about the run 0 -

It sure is! Watched you come out of the water and you got off on the Bike in the top 5 in Wave 1. I reckon you were still in the top 30 when I first drove past you on the run, the 5k out can be a heartbreaker for sure. Well done on your performance chief
No sign of Mrs interested? Was she in a relay? 0 -

No, she didnt travel. A little under the weather at the moment unfortunately. Hopefully we'll both be at swinford.
Nice to put some faces to the names around here as well over the weekend.
Yeah - pretty easy for me to identify my limiters I think It was my first time at Kilkee and definitely will go back better prepared.
Great job on the marshalling by yourself and the rest of Limerick Tri. Great event.0 -

Cheers - its very niggly - and ironically it was the only thing really causing me pain sunday morning. I tend not to drink at all these days so the mental imagery recorded at the hotel late saturday has me scarredWell done at the weekend dude. Hope that leg injury clears up ASAP for you. Unreal swim time......:cool:
Dont think I did anything special and was pretty much holding back on the swim since I knew I wasnt entirely prepared for the bike and run. I seemed to be away on my own for the middle of the swim - seemed to be out right of the bouy Id to go left around which I think cut me some time since the wind was pushing everyone into shore and they'd to come back out to the buoy. I havent been swimming that much or well recently so ... although it was slightly short, it was nice to watch the race unfold around me on the bike a bit from my positionUnreal swim time0 -
