padams 2:28-ish. FFS I'd better get training a bit harder but you wouldn't be that quick with little legs like mine. Crikey that's 'x' minutes quicker than I was hoping for and 'x' is a pretty big number. Fair play son. I'll be the first to shake your hand if :-
a) You haven't fckd off home
b) I can reach
MMMMmmm... or alternatively just train on the course a lot like the lesser spotted that won it last time did to see how much of a problem it is. Not as if she's short of a bob or two and if she's soo desperate to win it then can't be that much of a scarifice can it? Don't get me wrong I think Nadcliffe is a (clean) legend but even though I'm not 100% convinced she didn't have something not quite right with her in Athens the winner did out-prep and if you wanna be the best, if you wanna beat the rest then Roy Castle wasn't a bad judge - albeit he was a terrible presenter given his cheesey over-enthusiasm.
Not sure where all that lot came from.
As you were.
Good luck Jej. I think you may just about manage a new PB there ;-)
Last week I ran a 3000 TT, paced by my mate in 9:03 - surely would have been well under 9mins was it not for the walkers, soccer players (yes, in lane one) and really annoying kids who kept trying to race us for ~50m on the home straight before fading and stopping right in front. So pace is there, my cold is all but gone, humidity has dropped, but temperature is still 35C and hills are still in place.
Re: 305. I'm a fan of the integrated HR monitor - saves two gadgets on the wrist, etc. and you can download all the data at once. I think they claim that the 305 has better satellite 'reception' than the 205 (the 301 is the non-HRM version of the 305) but I find it takes ages to lock on. 60 seconds minimum. I try to look unconcerned standing by the roadside... but still feel a bit of a twat.
And good luck to the Bodders runners, including Gobi, the Imelda Marcos of the thread, it would seem. Frankly, I don't own that many pairs of non-running shoes (although I've been told that my approach to 'day' shoes is masculine!).
As it's Friday, and you've all started slowing down for the weekend, I've prepared a nice little film of the race I'm doing next week. This year they've kindly added 10k and another 500m of climbing just in case it wasn't hard enough. 2,500 entrants, so would be extremely pleased with top 50. But who knows...
<closes eyes>
My mate claims her 305 is better than her 205 in terms of signals near tall buildings, etc. My first Garmin was a 305.
*Yes, it's a made up word.
Dan A I agree. I reckon if I put everything I had into it (not a lot I'll grant you) I might manage a 4:50 mile but it would be far from (Tom) cruisy and certainly wouldn't be followed by anymore. And as for back to back 74mins halves WTF is all that about. I mean my half PB is only.....well you know by now don't you.
Conclusion The sooner that pair fck off and leave us talentless sods to it so we can think we're half decent the better. Don't throw out those 'I beat JEJ T-shirts' guys they could be worth a bob or two come 2012 ;o)
As we used to be.
Re sub 7 on the rowing machine, only 20 lightweight V50's world wide are registered as having done a sub 7 in 2006, as lightweight is less than 75kg and I am 63kg, I very much doubt if I'll even get close.
Good luck to all those racing this weekend, especially the talentless sod trying to go sub 30 for 5 that I beat at FLM05.
I've still got the T shirt, and a very long memory.
Dull
I'm relying on you to find me on Sunday.
Of course, if I spy a 2 ft tall dustbin with lasers radiating from it, then I'll say "Hi".
Still zero mileage for me this week, master of the lazy taper. At least I got to the physio and had her play with my body.
Next on the agenda is the racing haircut. That'll be my concession to weight loss.
Got home about 8ish looking to do a bit myself and walked into a domestic tantrum - that soon put paid to that.
I had a real sense of "giving something back" today too at about 8pm.
Oh well, I knew there would be days like this in the school holidays, so I'm pleased that I did a fair bit earlier in the week.
Hoping to do a bit tomorrow.
Have you been on the sauce ? A wee snifter or two ?
I've just opened a beerio myself.
I know you're both up - humour me...?
I was reading some other drivel elsewhere.
Don't do Stella - not man enough. It makes me all wobbly.
Underwater mp3 has not arrived yer :-(, and have ALWAYS hated cleaning my bike, so avoid riding in the wet at all costs now (have you seen the forcast???:-(
Stopped off on way home for a wee snifter, and may go with mtb to Wales tomorrow, but otherwise little to report on any vaguely related sub - 3 training subject matter, so guess its time for sleeps...
Gnight.
Momentarily lost focus in my pursuit of athletic excellence perhaps, but I will later turn tomorrows hangover in to a spur to harder training in the future|!
I've only had a couple of tinnies and only weak ones at that. I don't do anything to excess !
I'll be chugging up those hills all-right still.
Don't reckon i'll run too far from home (cos of my sore calf) - so I'll be up and down the 3 peaks hills - I live at the bottom of it. So 3 peaks may become 4 tomorrow. If my calf hurts too much I can easily bail out.
Either that or I take BFH with me an a farther away run.
Kung-fu ones or football kit ones ?
No Jim-Jams, it's a Bunny suit for me !
On the other hand, if forcast is for rain in Wales, then I may stay here, safe in the knowledge that nature will be doing my job for me, raining copiously on there tents whilst I sleep soundly in my house of bricks!
Did a CRAB and wore a cotton T shirt - don't think I've ever sweat more. With my ample bosom I could have won a wet T-shirt contest no problem.
Decent run, calf was more tight than sore. Need to get off the hills though - knees don't like the descending. I need the calf and knee to catch up with the rest of the body. May do some PJ's later.
Anyone else done a bit ?
I'm guessing DOT is sitting very still and asking everyone to be very quiet...
