I’ll keep going as long as g0d lets me, and make up the holes of ones that were oddball
e.g. 4x Duathlons where the sw1mble was cancelled due to rough seas (2nd JurassicMan, 2nd EnduroMan Lanzagrote Double), or blue green algae (Outlaw 24),
or Big Woody (hilly bike and run bit short),
IsoMan (very long sw1m, short bike!),
that Outlaw where the bike was cancelled due to flooding DURING the sw1m FGS,
2x TriX Extreme, run stopped half way due to weather, etc.
Some with shorter sw1ms as too cold eg first TriX, Isle of Man TT IM,
or the sea too rough : EnduranceLife XTri24 etc.

nb. This isn’t 100MC, so a continuous DoubleIM counts as 2 etc. You go ahead if you want to count it as one

That’s seriously impressive TC.

When was your first IM, and how’s the temple holding up if you don’t mind me asking?

Obviously not.

Congrats though

[fruit_thief]

Suspect if you added up the IM count of everyone else on this site, you might not even make 200

To get the ball rolling, I can contribute 1.5 , plus a DNS

Anh how many in “those” shorts

I contribute 3

[jeffb]

Well done, TC! Insanity that though especially with all the half’s and ultra’s!

I think I can add about 12 but at least one had a 1.5k swim, but I’ll counter that with Maastricht and Hamburg being over on the bike

don’t ask awkward questions. I made the start line of GeordieMan with a minute to spare btw. But as a Qualidee Race Organiser, it was 5 mins late starting

Anyway, I’ve still NOT forgiven you for that scandalous non wetsuit Bastion sw1m. I started the bike in a jacket, during a heat wave FGS. My lawyers will be in touch!

The Longest Day 2004 - back in the mists of IM time when there was no MDot in UK, and just this ONE iron distance race in UK FGS. Looking at a rap sheet on the results is a bit of a Who’s Who of tri at the time

Temple needs more recovery now I’m 55. I think I may actually be human FGS. Who Knew!?

@tunster

how many in “those” shorts

yeah vast majority. Forgot them yesterday FGS

Better stat is how many on my 2010 ish Scott Plasma Ltd Mk1 ten speed clinchers. Most of em! and still going strong. I need to work this one out… :
“Dear Mr Scott, please give me a new bike for free coz…”

“Hello Springfield” etc
(whereTF am I this w/end?? )

[Whisk]

I must be old - I remember you riding an old Softride

[AndS]

Did you do the Ironbourne race this year? I was on the far run course aid station most of the day and saw someone wearing jean shorts (or jean style Tri shorts) but didn’t connect the dots at the time.

[fatbuddha]

The water was 26C ffs - even you would have come out like a shrivelled prune if I’d allowed wetsuits. Oh, hang on - you are a shrivelled prune……

I’ll contribute 5

[explorerJC]

I out punctured TC at some branded event once…and he out crashed me at another.,.

6 full distance finishes,
One aqua bike and a iron duathlon with one DNF to my name

FFS I don’t care. Go start own 6 and 2 halfs IM Club. This thread is all about MEEEEEEEEEEE

[Adam]

I think it just highlights that I’ll probably never get anywhere near the amount of LD finishes you’ve achieved…
