Ironman UK 2021

Is your plan top secret? Or do you mind sharing?

I was thinking about getting serious around the start of May so got quite a bit of time to plan before then.

Yo! @Adam…like 16 of these?

Can you swim early in the morning at your local lake?

I was planning on continuing my 3 pool swims per week then adding an open water swim Saturday am when the lake is open.

Getting a touch off topic now though!

I can swim whenever I want at Pickmere or Hatchmere, as they are public mere’s, with no landowner or fishing rights.

@Adam - I’ll PM you that training plan now…

Observing or are you planning on poking the bear?

Actually I would love to do it, as I recon it would be a good KQ event for me. Unfortunately I have Roth a week earlier. I am watching with interest, should KQ fail this year, will probably do this as my A race in 2021

IMJ has been pretty sensible lately, however, IMUK bike course is always a sensitive topic, there will be lots of IMJ people doing their one and only event in Bolton, so a hard bike course is always unwelcome

Someone was asking about “best vs worst” case scenario of climbing…

…like they didn’t know about the bike course. Idiots.

I told her to plan for the worst case - never, ever, ever assume the best

Finland has low entries atm Matt, might be a backup option, but 3 IM’s :flushed:, and possibly Kona.

Mind, TC does them every weekend :roll_eyes:

Victory Loves Preparation.

Didn’t make the cut off(s)? You didn’t prepare well enough. You didn’t give the Ironman course the due respect.

Can someone post this on IMJ for me :grin:

I thought about Finland as a plan B, however, decided against it. Whatever happens after Lanza, I plan to enjoy my summer, the thought of continuing as I a doing now beyond May is not something I want to entertain. Roth will be a little like Hamburg, no real pressure, just go and have fun

As Jack Reacher would say, plan for the worst hope for the best
