    Jamie can be dietitian, and 2nd in command of standing around looking good.

    Emma… essentially it involves standing around looking good. The less clothing you can get away with the better. You also get to shout at really tired people and be prepared to have them shout back at you…

    Agree that pairs is hard! Yo do never really see your team mate so a good pit crew is essential really.

    Did it last year as a pair and came 5th (2mins of 4th 😆 ) However if it’s your first i’d do it as a team.

    I agree, but we’re not seeing anything from the man himself.

    Please no. Think of the drag….

    Hmmmm, if there is enough you could do two stw teams and I’ll throw my OH in and pit bitch myself, I have a bikini and some daisy dukes and I’m always happy to yell at sampy looking worn out wimps 🙂

    They will be convent teams.

    I might do it as a solo and use the teams as pace makers? Or, when I catch up on all my lost sleep I’ll realise that’s a silly idea.

    Hmm.. two teams would require DGOAB at the very least. Someone go and pick her up from North.

    I want to do this, but it would just be me, solo with no support crew etc.

    Which is putting me off, as it’ll be my first solo. Esp as I usually end up breaking myself quite badly on such events.

    Does anyone remember the guy who broke his ankle in D2D a few years ago *points thumbs at himself*, yup.

    MTG.

    No Idea. TSY was meant to e-mail the Team

    But I’ve not received anything yet.

    Not a good sign.

    Or perhaps I’ve been binned before I’ve even turned a pedal.

    Girls always welcome, it means fewer laps for everyone 🙂

    Can she actually ride a bike though? I mean.. triathletes… you know…

    I’m on it Solo… you’ve not been binned. My evening became very surreal last night as I was settling into sort out organisation… I’ll try and do something in a bit.

    MTG – if you can get a girl… or two I reckon we might be able to get numbers for two mixed teams. 🙂

    Do you need a Motivational Speaker? I can do motivation. All our Team Bullheart riders suddenly rode a lot faster when they saw me trackside. 🙂

    What are the opposition?

    Scum!

    And what are we going to do to them?

    Grind them into the dirt like the dogs that they are!

    Supportive team hugs afterwards though. Very important.

    My evening consited of working until 9pm, I started at 6am.

    Then driving home to arrive at about midnight.

    I’ll try to check mail during the day.

    Right, back to the decorating.

    I’m not sure I want to be in a team with a man who anoints his bottom with such an ‘orrible concoction… 😐

    fear not, i only anoint my own bottom, unless you pay a fee

    Bit of a delay in replying, I missed this at the time. 😳

    I think you’ll be pushing it trying to do two solos that close together.

    Yes, the timing is not ideal. I did 12 at Erlestoke, 12 at Bristol the following weekend, then 24 at MM two weeks after that. I’m still not recovered now.

    I’ve not had a reply from SassySarah or IronGirl (the vegan triathlete) yet.
