Iv met loads of people at races that are signing up for this aswell,it certainly gives a bit of focus to get 'run/bike' fit for the next 5 months.Really enjoying it.

still undecided about whether to do 4 marathons or 2 bikes and 2 marathons, I was so stiff and sore after a long bike ride the other day I'm not sure about 125 miles on a bike twice with marathons in between!

thanks, have had bike set up checked, I think it's just that I haven't done much on bike for ages then did 26 and then 27 miles on the same day. I used to be able to get to 50 miles before it started to hurt in the lower back, guess I will just have to build up, hopefully entries will still be open for a while to enable me to test it out.

Yep, I even changed the stem for a shorter one to make it less stretchy, I think I need to HTFU and get out on the bike more!
