    Thanks Fazz, but on Sunday I'll be mostly looking like this although I might have a haircut beforehand, for aero purposes!!

    See how the green white and orange work so well together.


    Booked a B&B on Tuesday so thats sorted. Looking like I've to make a trip to Mullingar on the way down so arrival time is not confirmed yet.

    Rumour has it that Dave Cahill has been practicing his glance over the shoulder as he waits for me to come storming through :D

    BTH, everyone in that photo seems to be averting their eyes from the brightness of those shoes except one guy who seems to have his eyes shut anyway.

    At a guess, its based on the fact that your reflective properties allow you to be spotted easily (and from space).

    Good luck at the weekend folks. Surely MCOS can sort out the weather down south for this.

    Weather? Of course, nice big tail wind organised for the return bike leg and a cool drizzy shower to lower the heart rates on the run :)

    This isn't going well for BTH. :(

    Fazz, if you're in my sights out of the water, you won't be getting away. So you better swim damn fast.

    Who wants to lay down some predictions??

    Theyre lovely shoes. Amazing shoes. Dorothy-in-Wizard-of-Oz shoes. But youve got to admit, they do look radioactive.

    Predictions?

    Fazz and BTH will have a fight in the pool over who gets to wear the pink hat.

    Me and my nemesis will be utterly polite while trying to kill each other.

    It will rain.

    Lol classic! :D
    I doubt id be lane leading material but see who else is there sure.

    So same lane, and you're in with 2 Pulser's! Excellent!

    Did you see how fast lane 5 is??!!
    Mike Yelverton managed to sneak an entry in, Dave R1, David Cahill, Mariuk Olenisk etc!
    Nice draft over there if we can duck under the ropes :D

    Hopefully there's a fish in lane 4 too??

    John Connolly is the other Pulser.

    Graham Butler seems to be quite fast so maybe he'll be leading out (Nenagh - 11:10).
    Could be others also sure we'll see down there.

    Mr Connolly swam well in Nenagh as well. You going to sit on his feet and let him drag you around?
