I have told anyone I mentored/helped last year that I will help them again first and foremost but I have no issue with emails occasionally.
What I also don't mind is people using messenger to speak to me but please be aware I work all day at a computer and work comes first so if I don't respond I am busy, more likely to get a lengthy reply out of me after 6pm and at weekends but you can try your luck if its a quick question during the day.

As for 2nd year, yes base is important and 3 months of it at the end of this season before the cold won't do you any harm, I don't need to tell you the intensitoes, just go and ride.
I think my sand storage plans need some tweaking by a qualified expert you see ;o)
Would like to hit 42min 10k and a 1.44 half by early next year.
Current pbs are 10k 50mins on local flat course and for a half its 2hours at the Vit.
Planning on 4-5 bikes a week and 5 runs with swimbling whenever.
Tri taffia, but can I shout for pebble?

i removed ian off the list after putting my money where my big fat mouth was and offered to "help" him out. however given that i can't even seem to find the right city on a friday night, my advice might not be the sagest

Any and all advice glady received...have gone from a 30 a day smoking drinking lard bucket to a zero a day moderately drinking, slightly smaller but still a tad lardy.
I have a sense of humour, would like to see world peace and I love all animals - especially cows (steaks are my favourite)....

I'm seriously interested in Ironman events but am a complete novice. Current run times are Marathon 4:45,(first time this year) Half Marathon 1:57 (march) and 10K 51 mins. Am working to improve my times! Have only been running for 2 years but I really love it.
I cycle regularly and enjoy cycling but like a lot of folks, swimming is my weakest discipline - mainly cos I don't do any swimming!. I went for a swim for the first time in a year this week and managed 28 lengths and didn't feel too bad. I have a small frame (female, 5'3", 7stone 8 and 45 years old with very little muscle up top so I'm working on that!
I'm in very good health with bags of energy (fitter than the majority of students I teach!) and I love a challenge.
Do you think ironman is for me? If so where do I start? Have you all entered for an event?
Austria was filling up fast and may be full by now - but there's a link to the website.
Ironman takes a lot of time comitment and understanding from partners, kids, etc. If you think you can commit the time then you can do it. Welcome aboard.
Had a nice open water swim here today.
Luckily the volcano underneath did not errupt again which would have made things a little turbulent
How do you get there? Parachute drop??!!
actually having two live mentees might be quite good fun. could chalk out a course in the street and race them.
I walked to the chinese take-away yesterday but that is about it.
walk to the curry house tonight, and the pizza place tomorrow.

I found it was quite hard to finish my second plate of chinese, without having been for bike ride first to build up an appetite. But I persevered.
