Just wondering if setting up a team in the name of 220 has ever arisen?? If so could it be featured in the magazine as amateurs performing and the training they do?? Would anybody be willing to start it up? get Tri suits? Train together at points around the UK???
We have so much experience and potential why not try to compete together??
Any ideas or thoughts?

A top or trisuit design tickles me greatly - any budding atrists or designers out there?
I don't hate you guys - yet! I only hate people when they take me on the course, then I just love them again when I stop and the pain goes away!
Something along the lines of picking an event for next season and then everyone entering and having some sort of get together at the event. Haven't really got any furhter than that. I guess it would need to be a multi distance event to cater for differing needs.
I suspect there would be some issues around the location but is it worth considering.
This is why I don't like long runs of night shifts. Sooner or later I end up having silly ideas.
Any takers?
[:D]
If we're goin down the route of a get together, could I suggest we target a few across the country. Much as I love our southern chums, I live near Aberdeen and gettin to london takes forever and costs as much as a decent frame!
No reason why we can't set up a team, get it registered with BTA or, indeed, STA (being the superior organisation!)
Who knows how to do it then?
Would 220 mag be prepared to assist with the team strip? cash, design help...??
I however have no idea about how to register with BTA to run as a club/team. But look into it on the BTA website.
We could set up get togethers at big events e.g. London, Blenheim, IMUK/70.3, amongst others.
Oh , by the way , I expect that 220 tri-shirt in my post anytime soon. [>:]
I have requested a form, happy to undertake the project if there are no objection?
Now for the hard part - the name??
May I suggest "team 220"? controversial I know...
Any problems with using the 220 name?
As for more of us meeting, London seems the best spot as there are so many from the forum taking part.
Surely 220 will have some sort of stand at the expo so why not try and meet people there.
I am racing on the sunday 35-39 group Olympic race and once my time of race is displayed i will put this on the forum if others do the same we can then get together pre/post race.
Enjoy your season and hope to see some of you in the smoke....

Surely you mean "The SHAVED red carbon porridge brigade" [:D]
or for Treefrog the ''ZERO fat shaved red carbon porridge brigade''
But i reckon get some ideas down and then vote on it??
Seems like an awesome idea. THink we should definitely get the 220 in the team name somewhere mind.

what do you guys think????
I think our tri-suits should have our forum names on them! Think some would be hilarious on the race course![image]http://forum.220magazine.com/micons/m9.gif[/image]
Doctor / surgeon says I'm not allowed to run at the moment, until they finish working out what is wrong with my hip, so I think my hopes of a sub-2:30 time are dead. I'll do the swim and the bike, then see how I feel.
It would be great to have some kind of forum clothing so we can recognise each other. Maybe a Red t-shirt with a 12K weave effect finish and a scattering of porridge oats incorporated somewhere.
I'd go with a big logo and a tag line underneath:
[center]Team [color=#ff0000]220[/color] Forum[/center][center][color=#ff3300]We wear red, we buy carbon, we wax, we eat porridge and we're not wearing any pants.[/color][/center]
[/quote]
Is anyone else begining to worry about Bopo too? [:D]
What a tag line for the kit - we'd never go un-noticed with that on would we!!
PS: great line Bopomofo,but shouldn't it include somewhere that the shirt was very very very expensive
hehe
