Right. £100 if you make it. Another £100 if you catch a fish in the gorge on the way :cool:

Thanks Sean :p I'll check the river on the Friday to see if that's possible... You may have just made this unnecessarily complicated :kungfo:

No fish Paul, you will have enough to do keeping up in second place :)

Good luck in the race,
What fish is used in Guinness then?
I might have to change my fave tipple,
Then of course fish shag in water too, but that's coool

Not sure which fish, but it's refined with isinglass which is manufactured from fish swimbladders.

Paul, Ill pledge $50.00 if you finish the race and if you dont, $50.00 if you show a pic of yourself in cycling shorts.

Mike
If its moving, if you see a swirl, break,bait pop, a slick, cast ! We only get so many chances no matter what we do.Take them when you can.

Mike, surely that should be $50 if you post a pic of yourself in cycle shorts and $500 if you don't? :???::

No no you could start a thing and put it up for sale.Bike shorts and bike rodholder endorsed by Sexyloops.
You better wear the bikeshorts or you could find yourself flatted in unexpected places. :???:

Yep. missed the kayak cut-off time by ten minutes, which was a bummer because I missed the fun stuff! Will be quicker next time. Need to be fitter and better prepared. Still I learned a lot about food, gear and practise. The Ironman in Hungary will be easier and I'll nail this barstool next year.
