as people seem to be putting their big races up on the forum i thought i would do the same (it may not be an IM but still v hard work!)
i did it last year and was vastly underprepared (lacking training and back had been in spasm 8 days before but am going to re enter this year and hopefully destroy my time of 6:47:45

Im really looking forward to it, its gunner be a ballbuster! Any adivce on bikes for it - ive heard its a reasonably flat course so was going to use a tri bike, but if anyone with experience of the race says otherwise ill think again (may use my road bike if its hilly!).
See you all there!
I've got family up there as well so could be keen on getting involved in a pre-race foray on the bike leg.
For anyone else thinking of entering, the Vit is a great race. Interesting bike, flat run, good support and well organized. The bike course is not as hard as some people say it is, and I am a crap cyclist.
The problem for me is that it's the week after the Big Woody Ironman distance race in Gloucester. Could I do an Ironman then a half Ironman on consecutive weekends? Ah feck it - of course I can [:D]
PS Ironman – then ironman 70.3 !!! Fair play that’s WAAAAAY outta my league!
had email back saying currently 198 entries and maximum number 800 so plenty left, he said will probably fill june/july but check the website
