have been asking my mates in Pulse for an update on this – if it is cleared – I will race

[stevenmoody]

Sounds great Phil – count me in (survey completed too!)

Have heard the high levels of bacteria is more widespread than Bull island – so rather than risk it – going to bin OWS this weekend

Stay safe, stay clean, stay bacteria free people!

@Ivan and Simon ….follow the instructions! …. you can either be at WW for 7 SHARP or at Marine for 7:20 …. I am not looking out for stragglers!

Plus I need to know if I have to wait at WW at all …. hence the request for confirmation on people’s plans.

Sheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeesh this is not rocket science!!!

With love

your stand in coach

@phil – you can have my place – something very last minute has come up that I cannot get out of …. so have to bail.

[stevenmoody]

@John – I had a look on the “Who’s in” section on Athy website (also referenced in the main post) and found the following under the Village Idiots section..

Registered On First Name / Team Name Surname Race Entered
21/05/2015 21:03 john lyons TRYAthy (Individual)

So you are in …. no need to panic – however like Cathal and Ciara for some reason they do not have you down as a Piranha – so when registering on the day – ask them to take note/update their records to indicate you are in fact a flesh eating fish

Good luck

@Barry – from previous post

Yes results are in ….

1) Austria – 32% – 8 votes
2) Barcelona – 24% – 6 votes
3) Mallorca – 16% – 4 votes

…..
8) Lanzarote gets 1 vote (wonder who that was!)

So what does this mean ….. well nothing really! As we had 24 people com-might-menting to Ironman 2016 but the votes were very distributed over 9 races.

[stevenmoody]

Ok another potential date for the Q&A would be 20th June if that might suit people better….

But the sooner the chat is had the better – as a lot of the 2016 slots go on sale the day after the race themselves and some of the races under consideration are in June…

[stevenmoody]

@Darragh – For me I would not do an Ironman in Dublin – as part of the whole experience for me racing in a foreign city in hopefully warm climate ….

Besides the roads are better on the continent!

Just one man’s opinion.

[stevenmoody]

@Darragh …. stick to the script chief – this is for 2016 people!

But just for your benefit

Tips for Roth
1) Don’t do it – too hot
2) Don’t do it – too hilly
3) Don’t do it – logistics are a nightmare

Did you not read any of the 14 race reports from last year???

Errr aside from that – have a good time pal!

Mischievous me

[stevenmoody]

Yes Ger you are not wrong – I am completely the best man for the job ….

Problem is I am the best man for all the jobs ….

So what I willcommit to doing – and this is what I have done in the past – if enough interest is organise an Ironman presentation and talk interested people through what is involved in the IM Journey for 2016….

And at the end of it – I will outline how we approached the Roth gig in terms of people volunteering to help out in terms of taking point on agreeing a club race, race entry, SMTB, researching flights/accommodation options etc – that is where I would expect people to step up to the mark and share the load

It cannot be the best looking and most intelligent people in the club doing all the work – all the time …. I need minions 😉

Despicable me

[stevenmoody]

Thanks for organising Emer – shame you are not around to enjoy the fruits of your labour but am sure a Costa Rican beach will just have to suffice

[stevenmoody]

I suspect the urge to nod off will be strongly linked to Mooney’s chat……

Yes results are in ….

1) Austria – 32% – 8 votes
2) Barcelona – 24% – 6 votes
3) Mallorca – 16% – 4 votes

…..
8) Lanzarote gets 1 vote (wonder who that was!)

So what does this mean ….. well nothing really! As we had 24 people com-might-menting to Ironman 2016 but the votes were very distributed over 9 races.

So what should happen next ….
a) I would like someone to volunteer as IM co-ordinator for 2016 – this person would be responsible for helping guide the group to a more clear consensus on a club race …..
b) Next step for the co-ordinator would be a short list of 3 races with a clearer list of pros/cons for people to select from.
c) Once agreed – the co-ordinator would help remind/corral the group to meet the necessary sign up timetable

So who wants the co-ordinator role?
