Correct - your economy and general level of cultural sophistication would be ruined without us, so think yourselves lucky.I know.
You guys overflow into our little piece of paradise at a rate of 2,167 new residents each week.
Just want to make sure you realise you have already qualified by virtue of your 2004 race...Thanks for posting the entry criteria Russ. I reckon I might try to get my act together for this
Having to go through the qualifying process with the likelyhood of ortho surgery soon was having me think I would be sitting this out. Now I just gotta figure out how to train up for it on 5-10 hours/week
Yep, knew that I qualified. Also well aware that just because I've qualified doesn't mean I'm ready; it's been a few years since I was in race trim and life keeps on getting in the way of getting that fitness back!Just want to make sure you realise you have already qualified by virtue of your 2004 race...
Don't worry mate. I won't be entering just so I can say I've raced the worlds. I've already earned those stripes. I'll be in it for a result. Would you like me to submit my resume for races (and wins) I've managed since 2004?Qualification gets slacker by the minute.
One only has to do 3laps another is in from 6yrs ago
Most will have to race off again J English in the next 6mths
Get a grip isn't this supposed to be the Worlds?
You might want to cut Liamo some slack. At the end of the day he has met the qualification rules set down by the Worlds Organiser/Owner, in 2004 and I suspect many times since.Qualification gets slacker by the minute ... another is in from 6yrs ago
No fourth party required in this little misunderstanding when it's already been cleared up. Any fifth parties will be deleted.He's new, he doesnt know how the forum works yet and that respect is big here.
I tend to just ignore people like that
New? and i'm looking at your join date.He's new, he doesnt know how the forum works yet and that respect is big here.

Mate, Have you ever done a Solo 24hr? Competitively?Put J English in but I don't see anyone else qualified yet.
IMHO and 2 cent worth
Does it really matter that a lot of Aussie and Kiwi men and women get to take part in an awesome event. That its time for the Yanks and Canucks to part with their hard-earned cash to come over to play?Anyway, what do you care how the qualification system works as long as the best guy wins! I'll see you on the Start line in Oct '10 yeah?
Cheers

Definitely! Solo + teams.. how cool would that beThe point about Olympians - hmmm, should the 24 hour format be added to the Olympics?
Thanks for that bit of info Gonz, I thought I must of been old or soft or something 'cos 3 weeks after the scott and I'm still trying to get the kinks massaged out. As for motivation to get ready for the Fling that's gone way south!Of the last two 24hr solo's I've done, one took me over a month before I was off the pain killers and many more at the physio, the other months before I'd recovered mentally to actually get back racing properly again.

Wait and see when its time to cough up the $500 or so entry fee. They need a good size pool to draw on people serious enough to spend the dough.Qualification gets slacker by the minute.
hehe! A little Off Topic, but I think there should be a support group for Endurance racers, you know like AA but diffirent I find it awesome talking to other 24hr racers, and the couple of stints in the pit have been real eye openers. If you're going through something, chances are everyone else is, or has had to cope with the same thing. This seems to be true from the elite all the way down! One of the reasons I started blogging was 'cause there was very little on the web about actually dealing with Solo Endurance stuff. The great thing about Australians, and one of the reasons I think we dominate, is we all seem really open to sharing our experiences, tips and techniques. I hope that doesn't change....Thanks for that bit of info Gonz, I thought I must of been old or soft or something 'cos 3 weeks after the scott and I'm still trying to get the kinks massaged out. As for motivation to get ready for the Fling that's gone way south!
You've made me feel human again cheers!!
