i've got to get through christmas first im hoping for a sub 4 hour as well need to make sure i don't cramp up like i did this year at mile 23 !

I had problems around mile 23 this year as well, although mine were mental rather than physical Would have got my sub 4 at the first attempt otherwise....................

I did not get in, but as I bequeathed my entry fee does anyone want to buy the FLM fleece/cardi top that arrived with my Dear John letter? Appearing on eBay soon!

I am in - but have now signed up to do IM F - only 8 weeks later - not convinced that this would be great training so may defer for a year when it fits in better with norseman training (later in the season), which is the aim for 2008. Good to see Larmen and TC from IMCH 2006 posse going for it though.....and yes TC i know you wont think that is an appropriate excuse, but i dont quite have the superhuman capabilities you seem to !!!!!!!

go for it bainsy, yah big wuss

might just have to do IM France wiv you too...after Lanza of course.

nah i don't blame you if you roll it over, but you've got quite a bit of recovery time and you can spend the aftermath of the race concentrating on the swim and run training, to let your running muscles recover. i think you can defer right up to race day so i'd not defer in haste, see how it goes. it will keep your training and diet extra motivated thru winter too e.g. when your out running, just think of London. likewise when you reach for the cookie jar.
