I'm registered (number 30)

It asked me if this was my first year competing in triathlons. I was faced with the choice between the pedantically correct answer "no" and the "yes" that they probably wanted to hear ...

[ Edit: I found a moderately cheap B+B (£30 single/£50 double) for the Friday night in a place that at least looks like it's nearby: http://www.oxtowns.co.uk/woodstock/thelawns/ . It promises "an olde worlde eccentric English welcome", which might be interesting in some sense of the word or other ]

I'm pretty sure it printed it at some point in the registration process, but now I can only find it in the URL for the link to cancel my registration.

OK, I withdraw my assertion. As Sol says, it must mean something else.

yeah, it says race_id=30... that's the ID in the database of the actual race, not your entry.

Found two campsites that claim to be nearby:

I'm registered. No car, so no idea how I'm getting there. Camping sounds a good option...

Helen and I are both registered. Will be going up by car on the Friday evening from Dagenham and returning to London pretty quickly after the race (eva's birthday). We've book to stay in the place that Dan mentioned.

Wow! Helen's first timed event and my first race in a palace!!

I've just registered and if there are any lifts there and back available, I'd like one* Smile

* Can reward with payment towards petrol, or in the form of booze, wheels Wink

I'm registered too.

Lifts are available from (and back to) Reading if anyone wants them. (Maximum 3, also bear in mind that I may be giving lifts to camberley people as well...)
