  Do pending requests count?

  Can we all sign up multiple bogus accounts and apply to join SCR at the last minute to push them out of our category?

  Shit. See what you lot have done? You've turned me into an overly competitive, dishonest, cunt. Or perhaps just brought out that latent tendency.

  That's a brilliant idea, I'll make sure I fall for it when I see your requests coming in......

  Sky haven't gone over the 100, they have exactly 100 and I presume a membership request pending. Given they haven't accepted the request (and it's been nearly 24 hours) they could still reject it and drop back into the 50-100 leagues.

  Sneaky buggers or I'm overly paranoid...

  The points are screwed anyway. If you look at the leaderboard it says one thing, but when you look as a team page it says another.

  If TFL can't make their mind up, how the fuck is everyone else supposed to know?

  I was thinking I was going to breeze the swim, having previously competed at county level, but then my wife pointed out that it was over half my life since then.....

  Got back in the pool today and it was hard work; I did 1k in a mixture of crawl and breast stroke. I'm going to get in there twice a week at lunch time until I can do the whole thing in crawl. At the moment I'm concentrating on my breathing.

  Also, when i get closer to the event I'll be getting some specific open water swimming in at a local ressie.

  i agree that you need feet to jump. I am prepared to be disproved by wikipedia.

  You need ankles to jump, Elephants don't have them, that's why they can't jump.

  Got to agree with Jung. It's the perfect way to ruin a ride.

  Yeah, but it improves a swim and / or a run.

  I've got my first sprint Tri later this summer in Eton. I've run half marathons and 10 ks before, but my only cycling is commuting (although that's nearly 50 miles a day). I used to swim for my county as a kid, but I'm going to need a lot of training for that part.

  I'm only signing up for the one this year, butif I enjoy it I'll got for the thames turbo, Eaton and London next year.

  I think i've got some knocking about. The only thing is that they will probably be 5" cube rather than flat boxes.
