If you are me, and get to a key point with tampered signs, it is 22km but yes, I know what you mean, standard course if not going off it is 110.5km (as bike is a bit short)
Although many IM courses are crazy short, the German ones for instance.
they just totally screwed up the last 226 with a half ar$ā¬d late changed run course. I almost did an extra lap in protest FGS. Iām sure the Halfs are spot on now tho. I just need to stop being so bitter
I really donāt get this thought process (except for a " *Psy!ho!" like yourself), who is going to do two fullās within 2 weeks, its a mute point for 99.9% of people.
Will you do both if a week or two apart⦠silly question⦠of course you will. lol
Yeah it catches my eye but same support team issue, so maybe Brutal instead. Donāt think I can get fit in time for this year so probably Helvellyn in an attempt to put a number on.
Yeah Iād be willing to crew for Celtman, or be the support runner. Thatās an offer. Iāve raced it twice and thatās my fill. Canāt face the 10°C swim again.
You can greatly improve your ballot chances by subscribing to their X Points system, doing a winter training challenge, racing their Solo Point Five race etc.
Personally if I were to race āXtremeā again Iād go do do the Greek Hero on Corfu. At least youād emerge from the swim without hypothermia.
Added CeltMan into list (DāOh, knew Iād miss summat daft), and Outlaw have fired their gun first rather than MDot: the Outlaw Full IM is on 26th July 2026 i.e. the same weekend as this yr. Letās see what IM Wezzieland doā¦
T100 Lundunistan is that weekend too!
