Thanks for the tips @JD-Scarabtri , didn’t know about the bike catchers! Looking forward to that. Fingers crossed for your run 
Agreed @jeffb - think I should have taken it a bit easier than I did. Will make sure not to worsen the problem this weekend…
Bike handed over to the shippers, always taken it myself in a bike box previously, a few minor bike rides, swims and jogs and we’re done, T minus 12 days.
Out of interest who did you use to ship it?
I know 3 lads that are going, definitely time to ease down now 
Went with Nirvana
I’ve also gone for Nirvana! You must live further north than me as I’m dropping off my bike on Thursday Think they’re working their way down from Newcastle.
2 hour run on Sunday went well thankfully. Now into my taper and the nerves are building…
Only found out on Sunday evening, short notice for a drop off at 11am, lucky that I could get away from work.
Race day on Sunday?
I see chickenboy is only doing the swim and bike due to an Achilles problem.
I’ve got 3 more I know, and should do well in their age group. Should all be sub 10 if it goes to plan
Will let you know once the fun of registration has been done, no allocated numbers this year
Registration queue is huge
Ran past earlier and saw the queue. Will leave registration until later!
Good luck folks!
1209 - if only that were my finish time!
1291 - so not far behind you in the longest queue ever
Another cock up is that all surnames from A to F are missing off the logo you get on the tee shirts. It doesnt bother me mine is missing but i do feel sorry for first timers as its all part of the experiance you pay for with IM. Major cock up by the proof reader !
An easy to remember bib number of 1600 for me!
My gf spent 10 minutes looking through the names before realising it hadn’t been printed. Surname E 
Good luck all.
I was scheduled for 2020. Then 2021. At some point it all went TU and I gave up.
Covid (and stuff) beat me. Not you guys. Full respect.
Give it all you got!!
Have fun guys
Looking fwd to the updates
They are doing a re-run of tees and hoodies with the missing names post-event apparently
