Couldn't do a tri either - hate swimming and don't much enjoy riding a bike for long! Maybe if you could have a tri with running, motorbike riding and floatin in a pool on hols I would go for it

diana brighouse

no way am i going to try a tri - in awe of those who do. you'll both be fine and it will be AN EXPERIENCE!

i have decided i am definitely going to defy OH and go for an ultra next year.

now i've said it you can hold me to it!

go for it this weekend's racers - sub-fives for ever

debbo

I'm sure tris are much easier than ultras, or marathons (says she who has just been out for a wedding anniversary meal and a bottle of wine and is doing a tri on sunday....)

Hippo - good luck with your offroad 10k tomorrow - I couldn't do that - it would kill me.

Debbo

A middle aged boy? Jimmy Krankie? Shoorly not. Apparently you can get elastic laces, I will be in pursuit of these tomorrow, do you want me to get you some too? I can either give em to you on Sunday or pop em thru your door?

Thanks for all your support peeps, triathlon wtf I am thinking? I so haven't trained for this. I am not worthy of your kind words

I did the Black Rock 5 tonight, what a great night, me and my 2 buddies from work ran together at a reasonable comfortable pace and when we were thigh deep in sea water I just fell about laughing.

I said we were a team and they were like yeah we have 3 marathons between us, I was like, em.. they are all mine and I'm not sharing.

BTW I got my photo's today!!

Did I tell you a marshall thought I was a bloke at Dunfy? He said, sorry it's the hair.. I patted my lady bumps and said something along the lines of well what do you think these are???

[Deleted User]

Hippo

I am all woman, I was quite hurt. What man has an ass like that on him? really...

debbo

KP - thanks for the offer but I am going to go to Run and Become and get some in the morning so I can try them out before sunday. Black rock sounds great! That Dunfy marshall sounds a bit dozy to me. or blind maybe.

I've got that can't sleep thing tonight.

[Deleted User]

Really good luck for the tri Debbo & Katypie, and for the off-road Hippo. I'm getting to quite like the forest runs I must say, though came back soaked last night - rain from above, and wet grass and puddles underfoot.

Just got a letter from Meningitis Trust to say I was one of their top 5 fund-raisers @ FLM! I am so thrilled about this, and daughter was very moved.

Must get packing for my hols. You peeps all look after yourselves, and good running.

[Deleted User]

GOTCHA HIPPO! really must go to bed let u know later!

[Deleted User]

Diana
that is marvelous

debbo

Katypie - what about a number belt? Have you got one of them? I'm off to R and B in a minute. I've emailed you.

[Deleted User]

Debbo

I think I have missed you, I'll nip into R&B later

Thanks

[Deleted User]

don't know how some of you manage to be up so late and then get up early the next morning, I need 8+ hours sleep most nights or I don't function properly.

It would seem that there is rather alot of equipment needed for tri's.

Damp, warm and humid here in Aberdeen. 6 miles done and got very sweaty.

debbo

Jane - I think Katypie and I are just being desperate!!

I'm resting today - I've only done a total of about 16 miles this week...

[Deleted User]

only 16
ha
Havent even done that much

debbo

What's up Hippo? You're usually churning out the miles. You've got a race today don't you?

[Deleted User]

debbo and Katypie, better to be well prepared than no preparation but I am sure you will both be fine. What sort of times do folks do for these tri's.

Hippo good luck with the 10k.

I have so far ran 27 miles this week, thought of doing 8 tomorrow to make it up to 35 but 3 miles to make it up to 30 sounds better.

debbo

Jane - most people seem to do this mini tri in between 45 and 75 minutes. I'm hoping for around 60-65.

[Deleted User]

Debbo
i cant get motivated since the 9 miler

4 miles seems a long way
since that 49 miler ive done one 8.5 mile race a 10 miles on the tready one 5 miler-then the rest has been 2 or 3 miles at a time
thanks jane
its off road
same course as the 10 miler i was last in in feb
i will be last again
but its local-so

[Deleted User]

I mean the 49 miler



bloody hell

debbo

Is the race today Hippo? It must be a late one?

[Deleted User]

Its 6pm

debbo

It must be very near you - I couldn't possibly still be at home if I was racing in less than an hour - I like loads of time for faffing and getting nervous and going to the loo loads.

Good luck!!!
