| The wait is over as 15 club members start their Ironman Austria training... After months of planning, excitement and fear, the 15 club members have started their training for Ironman Austria. We've got a real mixture of experience, age and abilities taking part in the race all united by the desire to finish in one piece with a smile on their faces. The intrepid (some may say mad) 15 range from the experienced Ironman competitors Kerf, Andy, Dodge, Ian C and Fonz through to our top cyclists Ian R and Jon who are hoping for excellent times. After taking part in the Ironman Roth relays in 2007, Chris and Les decided they had to do a full race and the girls haven't been outdone either, Nick's going for a second Ironman despite saying in 2007 that she'd never do one again and she's persuaded (conned) Claire, Kath, Jules, Abbie and Kay into joining her. With different levels of pace and experience, some of the team are aiming for sub 10 (and maybe even sub 9!) hour races whereas some of the others are aiming just to get round. Check out the fear on these faces!!!  The Crazy 15 |
