Name change alert -- I'm DimTimTris, but now I'm IronScribe, thanks to a suggestion from Holgs a few months ago. Cos I'm a writer, and now I'm an IRONMAN!
What an AMAZING day. Thanks for support everyone. Chuffed with my 14:12. Still smiling ear to ear, still hurting, and I'll do a full race report soon.
I did think about changing mine to Matron, since I think I've earned a promotion. And there's an 'o' to put a dot after, and an 'm' just waiting for a dot....................
IY, I think it's Rosey who has very cool design with the M-dot and the flags of all the countries they were done in (someone please correct me if I'm wrong)
Do you have a link to the pic? Sounds like a cool idea.
Great report SD, it was quite a strange experience reading it - I had butterflies when you were describing all the pre-race prep, and got quite emotional at the end!
I'm a happy Holgs, after months of rehab with the physio ( much more to come ) he reckoned we needed to test the knee to see if it would break on a run, so last night for the first time since March I ran a very easy 5k, concentrating on engaging my core and running tall. I loved it and there was no pain - have to give it 48hrs to see if any develops, and will run again before next fridays session.
All this pilates stuff I've been doing has really helped, will continue to work on rehab, not get carried away and bide my time.
Oh yeah and followed it up with a club interval swim session.
Other andy "At the top of the hill you were rewarded with fantastic views & a bunch of guys in bikinis & Afros partying and cheering you on." Was this anyone we know? Just had a mental picture and Dave the ex spartan, holgs and Barlist for some reason and not can't get it out of my head.
Good to here your on the mend Holgs. Whats the next IM event we are all going to do?
Managed to remove one whole big toe nail & half the other one now. Also burst both toe blood blisters so feet feeling a lot more comfortable now. Off to the quacks on Tuesday to see if they can be tidied up a bit more
There is none branded one in northern Irland I'm quite liking the look of. Sorry can't remember the name of it but Darkness is doing it next week so hopefully he can.

This thread could do with a Matron, although we do have a witch.
What if I wear a dress and a wig would that work or should we stick with the scottish matron?
Post a photo and we'll have a vote
Hope this works this is from a weekend away.
stunning.

This is his avatar that gives you the general idea of his tat, he has a few more flags than that though.
If you have ever seen the UN building in new york and seen all the flags outside it there are more on the tat.
I like it Cake, very 'you'
I was considering this
Do we think it'll keep you naughty boys in line?
weekly update, not a great deal to report

And no DOMS today on the easy

Happy Days.
Wooooo Hoooooo - excellent news Holgs
Thanks Matron, long way to go yet but a successful baby step
Great stuff Andy H!

Andy brilliant mate.

We need to get a Fatman to Ironman event for 2014!
Ironman Wales is on my radar.
SD brilliant report.
Holgs good news on the knee
Thanks all - I can safely say that I wasn't wearing a mankini on Sunday !! I can't comment for Dave or Barley though Mr Cake Sir.
IM Copenhagen – August ’14?
You all are invited to Ironman Coeur d'Alene for 2014
Great to read about all the progress/race reports. I'm 16 days away from Ironman #3.
Holgs wore the mankini on the Saturday
2015 IM for me i think, quite fancy the look of South Africa.
There is none branded one in northern Irland I'm quite liking the look of. Sorry can't remember the name of it but Darkness is doing it next week so hopefully he can.
I would have done Wales as well this year had I got the pennies ... Nice next year for me and Austria the year after
Ok, so I'm genuinely contemplating Austria 2015. That's it.. All I'm saying!
