Only 3 weeks to go   With only 3 weeks to go the 15 club members who are off to tackle Ironman Austria are now starting to get very nervous/excited.  The last big training rides and runs are planned for this weekend, then the taper will start.  The conversation has now got more and more detailed and is, no doubt, incredibly boring to our patient partners and anybody else who isn't racing.  The top topics include 'To shave or not to shave?' 'Which sun-tan lotion will last 12 hours plus' and 'Will that energy drink/gel/beans/food/water/anything give me a bad bottom?' Good Luck to everybody taking part and to the many other club members who are training for Ironman GB/Nice/Monaco/Canada/Australia - we must all be mad!   Back Row, L to R - Kay Harris, Julie Hardman, Ian 'Fonz' Foster, Mark 'Dodge' Dykes, Les Morris, Chris Head, Ian Rivers, Jon Tetley, Andy Taylor, Ian 'Chris' Christy Front Row, L to R - Nicola Goodwin, Claire Hebblethwaite, Abby Maisey Missing from the photo is Katherine Drabble     BACK
