Nice wan Wetpants
Unfortunately the clever organisers have put us in different waves to keep the drafting dream team apart….
See you lakeside for a quick rub of your fancy new wetsuit for luck before we get going!
I also hear that Owen “angry” Percy is coming out to play … maybe we will see a marshal abuse off between himself and Northridge!
Come along – any other Piranhas lets not be shy in posting up now!
Hi Louise
I have a transfer form from Blacksod … so if you email me – I will forward it on to for you to complete.
Will also give you my bank details to transfer the €45 if that works – or can get it from you in swimming on Fri if you are to be in UCD
Freddie that would be inadvisable – as a) it would screw up Coach:athlete ratio and b) if UCD got wind of anything like this* – we could lose our slots.
* and it would be fairly obvious
Plus Porto beach was a great spot …. almost shallower than WW pool! We will become open water swim specialists!!
The other clubs wont have a chance!!

(Will Owens – you are slipping here! You are not entitled to commission on this one)
Not having done a marathon should never be an obstacle to doing to an IM – in my experience a surprising number of athletes do their first marathon as part of an IM race e.g. Ciara Ni FWEWDFsdfsdfsdf, John Adams, to note a few and they did exceptionally well in their races…
The real thought process in signing up should be based reviewing your timetable of work/life wise and determining could you fit it in …. a key milestone will be discussing with your significant other/family and/or friends about the time demands it would entail and getting their buy in … as you will need support to get through this
Having done it before and just about to wrap up (hopefully) another IM journey – it is a brilliant experience with more highs than lows …. (note there will be lows …. ) and it has been way more fun this time due to super Roth-ar crew we got together at the start (still 30 or so to travel …. amazing)
So hopefully you lads could pull something similar together !
p.s. one more bit of advice – the key difference between training for a straight marathon on its own is that you will feel sore a lot of the time whereas with an IM you will feel more tired (down to less time pounding leg muscles)
Lads you need to make sure you keep Dave Vavo and bike box calender updated when you hand over the bike boxes – or else it becomes a pain in the ar$3 trying to find them at the end of the year
Check out the club bike box – check the menu path of members> bike boxes … and follow instructions to see if available
Oh come on … I saw “Phoebe” running into WW the other day …. she is clearly secret training …
Well done though!
