Watched a bit of '12 Lanza on Sky tonight and there were a lot of deeper than that at the back with 40s or 50s or tri spokes on the front. Were a few discs too.
The swimming and running are going ok but I'm in desperate need of some long bikes outside - the turbo is driving me mad at the minute. We had heavy snow in Wigan so not been able to go out on the bike.
I've got the South Africa Ironman first so hoping for some better weather soon - 100 miles on the turbo doesn't sound too appealing.
April 14th so only around 11 weeks now. I've got one of those watt bikes and have put in 100 miles as one of my "custom" sessions but only every done it once! The watt bike is great especially as I've set it up in the kitchen where I can watch the tele and listen to music at the same time - no other half so not banished to the garage.
One of the Personal Trainers at my gym did 100km on a treadmill at Christmas for charity. Took him 11 and half hours - he said his legs were fine, but his brain went after 4 hours!!
I've only missed a couple of long rides - and the roads here are ok so hopefully get out for a few hours tomorrow (the joys of being my own boss) as 2 hours is my limit on a turbo!!

You need to drop your chips first, Love

Cheap german wine?
I'm nearly at the end of an excellent piersporter
Only a couple of those words go together !!
I presume you mean that in a nice way!!
I think he should wear it at Lanza ... might excuse him the swim bit
if ony it would!! But if you're lucky I pack it for the after party
now i have to find a way to get to lanza
I know someone who is selling some flights Seren
If I may go off at a tangent and discuss Lanza for a moment.....
OC - I noticed on another thread you were discussing 40mm deep rims for Lanza. You think something that deep would be ok for Lanza?

That's good to know Symes... just looking for an excuse to buy new wheels
Last year was not so windy. i had 30 ish rims on (ie my normal wheels) and had no issues.
I now have a set of 60/80 wheels....and i am not sure whether to use them.
If its a massively windy day i might be a bit unhappy.
I was going to take some advice..... if i can fit both wheels in my bike bag/ the missues then ill take both and decide the day before.....
If i am taking them then ill practise a lot with them first in windy conditons.
If i could have found 40s then i would use them.
Take the 60/80s with a hacksaw and sandpaper in your bag instead of the second set of wheels?
How's everyone training going/suffering(?) with the weather???
