forum IM outing 2005?

cougie

DD - looks good. But I can't suffer for a year and then become a Vineman can I ?


It's just a bit too wussy !

Good idea about starting to learn in a wetsuit - but if you try it in an indoor pool you'll boil.

cougie

Candy - I didn't know you'd done one already.

I doff my bandana.

(excellent - no shortage of training advice on here then !)

candy ollier

dave stop being such a pansie - you are doing ironman usa and that's final

depends on your wetsuit - i did an hour in Holmes Place pool in an IronMan Stealth wetsuit today and I didn't boil, i think because

1) the holmes place pool is generally f****** freezing (i've complained to reception about it before!)

2) the stealth has that unprotected blue panel on the back that lets a bit of cold water in... that keeps you cool

candy ollier

actually yeah, 'i cant swim but i've got all the gear'

...sounds like me when i took up golf for two weeks

...and skateboarding

...and rollerblading

...and fencing

candy ollier

that was a busy two weeks, i can tell you!

cougie

Tee hee.

Can you redo our back fence then please when you get a mo ? Ta.

[Deleted User]

But I CAN'T do Ironman USA, I've injured my little finger and it hurts soooooo much when I'm swimming.

candy ollier

i can stab it (or whatever the word is)

candy ollier

when are you going to the pub, dave?

cougie

Candy - make sure Jj signs the entry form. I don't think they have a rule against stabilisers in Tri ?

[Deleted User]

Any minute now, but not Doggets - see social thread.

candy ollier

i can stab cougie's fence, not dave's little finger... i'm not a good enough aim for that

cougie

Pretty good aim considering you're 200 miles away !

candy ollier

i've got a very long weapon

cougie

!

[Deleted User]

OK, I'm outta here - I might see ya later Candy.

candy ollier

i caught the end of some crap police fly on the wall documentary b******s last night on TV

oh how i laughed when the commentator said 'at this point the suspect realises that he won't be able to shake off the police chopper, so he gives uo'

candy ollier

UP

cougie

LOL !

Hafta be quick registering :

LAKE PLACID, NY -- The 2004 Ironman USA Lake Placid triathlon closed to general entry in two days. More than 2200 athletes signed up for the 2004 event, which will take place on Sunday, July 24.


And looking back to 2001 - they had snow in the week and reduced the swim accordingly to stop people getting hypothermia !

What fun !

Would be nice to join you all, but family obligations get in the way of a trip so far away, because flying to the States or Canada means taking extra time to acclimatize and it wouldn't be fair. Crossing the Atlantic causes me two to three days of ear trouble and dizziness - classic 'air sickness'. Not good preparation for an IM.

Jj

Hey Cougie - I didn't sign nuffink! So ner.

(I distracted candy by pretending to be serene and intelligent. He was sober this time and it confused him)

candy ollier

yep cougs - sign up on line the next morning after this year's race... i said that waaaaaay back on page 1

candy ollier

dave - breaststroke indeed!!

Jj

ooo ello!

You scarpered early tonight!

cougie

Awwww- Candy - you missed a trick there.

Jj and her pom poms would look great in the swim.

OK - so remind me to sign up when it's open then. July eh ?

Jj

eek!

[Deleted User]

So has anyone REALLY said they were going to go - or is still Candy trying to bully the troops?
