Maybe we'll enter as a tandem in a few years...
Father son TCR pair would be awesome :-) My GF keeps asking when my next ultra/IM/whatever is going to be. I mentioned LEL but she doesn't like the sound of that because she wouldn't be allowed to crew!
@Pifko They don't have the most durable uppers... all of mine have eventually failed like this (old photo), but other than that they've been great.

Yeah it's a 5 mile course, which I appreciate may get boring, but is close to home and would allow me to do the event without too much time away from family (and therefore more likely to get the green light from the gf) and should be doable without any support. I kind of see it as a gateway into ultra running - if I can do that then I can try some more interesting races.
I've been following the TCR thread - something else I'd love to do but not sure I'd have time (or energy) for anything else after ultra-running training and ultra-cycling training, and I've got a little boy at home who already doesn't see his dad for most of the week as I'm at work. Maybe we'll enter as a tandem in a few years...
