[quote="Andrew G"]I'm not one of the most organised of people either Toks so I formed a cunning plan this season. Once I have the handbook I go through it and sort out all the races I may do and stick 'em on a spreadsheet. I add a column for "Entry Due" and stick in a date 2 weeks before the race date, some may have specific dates so I put that in, and although you can enter a bit later than 2 weeks before I find that keeps things nice and simple.

Then I just print it out and stick it somewhere prominent, no not there, on the fridge or similar. I also run down the print and stick all the entry due dates and race dates in the calendar on Outlook so I get a reminder jump up on that. It may sound a bit of a faff but I did about 25 Opens this season and for a couple of hours work it makes life so much easier. Nothing is set in stone and it got added to, and the odd one dropped off during the course of the season but it definitely worked well.

You want to enter each one in turn as they are approaching as it helps the organiser greatly if they don't have to keep hold of your form for months before the race, and also stops you having to keep phoning the organiser to tell them of improved PBs so they can adjust the seeding (if you phoned them in time) or your handicap if there is a prize for that.

I was speaking to an ex elite duathlete tonight who said he might start coming out with the CR with his wife an ex elite ironman/woman. Apparently the last ironman she did, she did a sub 3 hour marathon off the back of a 112mile cycle. The guy (Wayne) regularly rides up box hill and said his PB from the turning to the car park is 5:15.
