In a moment of absolute madness today I sent off an e-mail to Mark at Pacesetter Events to put my name down for one of the Services slots at the Vitruvian. Why mad? Because it's 7 days before the last leg of my UK HIM Tour in Ireland. But, there is a reason for my madness. At the beginning of this year I set myself a target of going sub 5 hours at a Middle Distance race and after blowing it at Cowman I decided to return to the location of my fastest time so far, where I did 5:01:15 in 2007. I reckon I can find 76 seconds this year.
Doing the Vit may well affect my race in Ireland but that's OK; Half Ireman was always planned to be a bit of end of season fun and to sample some proper Guiness, preferably at a pub afterwards and not at the aid stations on the bike. And 5 HIM races in one season will be worth a beer or 2 I reckon.
So Lonsy, there will be another opportunity for you to kick my butt before the end of the year.

You say that like I've kicked it before, not so...but I appreciate the 2nd chance challenge. I may have come across a little over-enthusiastic at Cranwell but on The Fell it's all about those who are just ahead of you (Small steps, I can't stay focussed very long!). Hopefully I'll be able to get a little bit closer this time :o)Enjoy your summer, try and recruit me some more pretty tri girls eh?
Have you told Kelda yet?
Told Kelda what?!! I guess you mean entering Vitruvian ... I encouraged him something like, you only live once, life is for living and I can really kick your ass at Half Ireman!
