Absolutely, but I didn't want to put the pressure on
All should be epic races in fairness. Standards high in all.0 -

I dont know about this now. Body is pretty sore after the 70.3 which i cooked myself on the bike at (confirmed!). Top 8 and id be doing well and the time i posted would take a hell of a race to achieveAbsolutely, but I didn't want to put the pressure on

The races look interesting, particularly double oly! Im surprised Stephen Early isnt doing it, its as good a race as any for him with the long swim. He'll be well out infront from the off and can match the others for bike and run.0 -

I can imagine a 70.3 takes 2-3 weeks to recover from.
So just enough hopefully!
Yeah Stephen Early won the Double Oly last year, My guess is he is going for NS this year and ensuring no one cleans up like Bjorn did at Athy Oly last year.
Actually the guy who was 2nd at Double Oly last year, Alan Ryan, ahead of Joe Lynch is in for the Olympic this year it looks like (or a namesake).
He had 2nd fastest bike just seconds off Joe. And hands down fastest run by a mile...
So he's gotta go into the Olympic basket of favourites too!0 -

I would say less of the science and more banter....you are safe MCOS.
I will be losing too much time on the swim to both you lads and will not catch you on either bike/run....not to say i will not be trying. I shall try hold onto Tunneys feet for the first 100mtrs of the swim:)
If it was a HIM i would be feeling a tiny bit more confident of my chances.0 -

This just got even more interesting! Who's taking bets??
If i was to price it up
Mr Tango - 5/6 fav
Mcos - 6/4
JB - 3/1
Tunney - 5/1....i am being kind here i could add a few zeros.0 -

Unless you are now doing your sets (e.g. 38x100m) off 1:30 coming in on 1:15 you won't be on those feet for too long............0 -

A quick 5 min scan over the who's in shows some interesting reading...
The Favourites...
Sprint:
Bill McCormack
Noelie Kavanagh
Scott Graham
Olympic:
Stephen Early
David Richardson
Paul Carroll
Neal O Grady
Brian Keane (thought he used a Y but maybe not)
Alan Ryan (the ironman major, 2nd at double Oly in '11)
Matt Molloy
Double Olympic
Joe Lynch
Brian Campbell
Mariusz Olenicjak
Wayne Reid
Colm Sheahan
Nearly missed Mr Molloy in the Olympic....
I think the Olympic has taken over as most stacked.
Probably just a taster for Athlone 4 weeks later!:eek:
2 big races coming up.
Targets to aim for everywhere!

I think the technical term for what Tunney is doing is 'sand bagging' !!!!Tunney sand bagging? Never
I haven't sandbagged. I'm running well, albeit no speed, so would do a better marathon than 10km. I'm swimming better than I did in 2011 by far.
Its just the biking. 4.5 weeks off the bike!0 -

I actually do turn like an oil tanker, with as much risk of a bad spill. So regardless of draft rules, do give me a wide berth.RacoonQueen wrote: »Ha I'm only messing. I'm gunna just sit behind amphibian king and take him on the run. Give 'im a false sense of security.
EJ, do the sprinters have to do that tight turnaround out on the course?0 -

Yep the plan is to stay exactly 11 metres behind. Then jog upto him on the run for a little chat. People hate when you chat to them when they're dying. :cool:
Lure him into a false sense of security and let him think he might be in with a chance in BOTE if I only beat him by a whisker in Athy.
*better get out cycling on those hills myself :rolleyes:0 -

Beast of the east is what, 8 ish weeks away?
You'll be grand. Epic course and a real atmosphere and buzz about it.
No excuse not to ride the course though, it's only up the road a bit!
It's really just the hills back from around 22k-38k that would be handy doing and preparing for.
The first one is literally easiest gear in the cassette and out of the saddle.
I think I may cycle up for some quality pics and video's at that point actually 0 -
They've uploaded a video to their site of the bike course, but done from a car and at speed it doesn't give you a real sense of what it's actually like. Did sally gap three times in April/early May but haven't done a proper spin since the bank holiday weekend
Will do BOTE route a couple of times before the big day though.
Looking at the results from last year there's a severe lack of females doing BOTE :eek:0 -

Do they let you on the podium when you finish in the bottom three? 0 -
