Epic stuff again, dinosaurs!!!
Have to admit that this doesn't make me feel too tempted to try a hill climb - sounds painful!
I do like the idea of being wedged in place for the start with the aid of a brick and multiple pusher-offers... still think that the start is the most terrifying bit of a TT - placing all your trust in a frail random stranger, who might notice that you are actually one of those pesky triathletes, and try and push you sideways into the path of an oncoming HGV.

Well done triathlosaurs!

Similar to CCS, this report doesn't really tempt me into trying HCs. TTs are one thing, but this is a discipline clearly not suited for someone of my stature - and the fact that the HC season is done during a time where the climate means that the the fun part of hills (going down them) is rendered extremely dicey and induces hypothermia.

Well done guys. Epic events, can't say it has inspired me to do hill climbs though!

Maybe you should have a go at a Masters swim meet for a similarly evil event in the future :D

Well done guys! Cracking report to read as well.

What are the odds Jack secretly got an endless pool installed in his garage a few months ago...

For shame! Why ever not? All three of you like to do the Sufferfest videos. This is basically the same, but out in the wholesome fresh air. And a bit more honest. And not as long. It can't be the hurt putting you off... so what is it?

Now that's the spirit. The season is coming to an end though. It's a September/October thing.

Although I believe the Cragg Vale one does run in the Summer. Not sure how that fits in with the TDF!

Weighing 50% more than the average entrant is probably a fairly reasonable start. Maybe once I've lost a couple more stone.

Of all the laughs that report gave me. By far the biggest came when I heared mention of an IM swim.

Does jon get to chose the venue ?
One who wants to do something, will find a way.
One who doesn't, will find an excuse.
