Best of luck guys. Unfortunately no IM for me this year.

There'll be some crew of Irish in Barcelona this year. There are at least 30 going from Galway alone. Great race and location. Enjoy!!!

Nice ChickenBalls (its weird to type that). I'm doing IM Barcelona next year. Not sure what time to aim for as it will be my first IM. Was it your first one? I did IM 70.3 Dublin in c.5:45 so hoping sub 12 for Barcelona. Realistic?

Yep definitely it does have a few rolling hills at the start/finish area of Callela for the cycle nothing major thou. I did Dublin 70.3 this year too in 5:13 so I'd recommend you do this again see if you can get down to 5:30 and then you should be all set! I did very little running this year because of injury, maybe a handful of 5/6 milers and one 11 miler before Dublin 70.3 which I ran in 1:40 surprisingly - my training this year was 60% bike 30% Swim 10% run - because I did so much cycling around 200km+ a week it got my heart rate way down and my run was actually fine for the pace I set. In the full I suffered after 16 miles into the run thou that's when the lack of running showed. One thing I didn't do was walk the water stations (even the Pro's do it! Saw them when I watched Kona the week after) I only started doing this when I hit 16 miles when things started to get hairy.

Good luck with it! I believe its sold out already.

Cool - thankfully I booked the day they opened registration. I was out all of 2014 with a back/hip injury so was building from zero last year so was kind of ok with my 70.3 time (who is ever really happy with their time!). My training was 70% run (to get fitness back), 20% swim, 10% bike (because of back injury). Back issue pretty much resolved so will increase the bike % significantly in 2016. If IM Dublin opens (its looking sketchy) i'll be aiming for closer to 5 as bike time should come down significantly and impact on my run will also be less.

Recommend anywhere to stay in Calella? I'm just researching accommodation now.

Interestingly I see Sonia O'Sullivan is hinting at doing an IM. I cant post link as i'm a new user but its on the Irish Times website today.

I went over with family about 5 of us and was just about to pull the trigger on a rented house about 3/4 km from the start when I did a hotel search just to see what was available price wise in comparison and surprisingly I found Hotel Mar Bleu which was perfect - http://www.hotelmarblau.cat/EN/hotel.html
Couldn't swing a cat in the rooms but it was fine for us. Food was buffet and was amazing for a 3*, alot of athletes stayed here even the organisers. If your looking for luxury thou it's not that - check out the pictures on tripadvisor.
I got half board for one week for €210! Can;t go wrong there.

My injury was hip related too, been doing Yoga for few years now and it's saved me big time!

#bettergetthisbackontopic - PM me if you want any more info. Happy to help.
