I think after landing in Antigua from a trip like that, I wouldn't leave...

You don't get sea sick, do you Dean?

how many men have died doing this?


I have no idea, and right now I don't fancy researching it. Don't think I know of anyone who has, though I wouldn't be at all surprised.

Well, No... but then I've never been in the middle of the atlantic in a tin bath before. Hopefully I'll be ok?? I read about a guy who once he had completed it couldn't walk properly for nearly a week. He'd be strolling along and then veer off sideways into a bush. I noticed that when I took a cruise to Stockholm from Helsinki. Every now and again I thought the floor was moving. Surreal.

Perhaps you were on the booze cruise? When I took that from Stockholm to Helsinki, I couldn't walk straight either....

Doesn't that attract sharks?


Aren't sharks attracted by blood? If that's the case, you might want to see a doctor cause there shouldn't be any blood there...

Also, that's an awesome goal. I've set a tentative goal to qualify for the Hawaii Ironman pretty recently, but I'm still sort of on the fence for that... I'm typically not the type of person that gets "excited" for long distance runs; I've got a total sprinters mentality, but after hearing about your new goal it's revigorating my interest... but for me, it's mainly because it's Hawaii heh.

Now that is cool!! I hate cycling, and I'm not to hot on front crawl. However, I would love to do that one day. Go For It!!!! You'll kick yourself if you don't. And Hawaii!!!! Just think of all those grass skirts with your chiselled 6-pack!!!

Now that makes some serious sense!! I was stumbling over the dancefloor, and up until just then I could have sworn it was the storm outside......or was it me?

Wow, you better get going, you will need that to get away from the sharks..... and if you decide to swim it the next year you will get tired of the back-stroke.

Good point Tim.

I can swim for miles doing the breast stroke but it isn't gonna help me escape from Jaws or complete a tri-athlon. Will have to get some extra phys in down at the pool

Don't sailors believe knowing how to swim is bad luck on a boat? Maybe that doesn't apply to rowing though.

Ain't no such thing!! Your US team has had a momentary taste of glory in our little running race and now you are questioning my resolve??

Let every man (or woman) who fancies a shot at the title stand and be counted. I'm going for it!

Oh I see. You're not even in the running race and you fancy a shot at the title??

Well when this race is over, (about 4-5 weeks time) then you can feel welcome to put in a claim to the throne. Running, cycling, swimming, whatever. It's the same game to me - Winning!!

Get involved. Glovia would probably welcome you onto her team for the remainder of the campaign. Then we'll see what your made of!!

Mind you if you don't get in touch with her then we'll already know and it will be pointless taking any of your challenges serious in future. Ha ha

who is that? sorry but at a casual glance of the thread, i thought this cross-country trash talk was just that and not a genuine competition.

Oh my word, why am I talking with you, you can't even read?

Just check out the UK v US running challenge and get in touch with Glovia. Either send her a PM or just join in the thread. It isn't an exclusive thing, it is there for all to enjoy and get involved.
