Go Squish!
WELL DONE SQUISH!
*hugs to Beebs*
Well done to all the ironfolk of the Worcs thread today.
<passes tissues to Beebs>
Well done to Crashie Squish FB and Mr W. (they must be mad ;o) ).
Beebs, have you stopped crying yet?
I saw squishy cross the line yesterday, she looked FANTASTIC well done to you both.
wickett - are you still coming for the little run on saturday?
I have stopped crying, I was so proud and am inclined to cry at happy triumph as well as sadness :-)
(Amazingly well done, everyone)
Tired , sore and happy today
Roly, our fast group did Caerphilly in about 8:45, we took a more leisurely 11:57 but we did have a few accidents on the way. A certain lurking BPJ we know did it in 10:45!!
tied up, sore and happy :-)
<<awards Squishy a half-day holiday as reward>>
I'll be expecting you back in DGPJOT as soon as you're back though....
Mark - Saturday, don't know yet. Did 17-miles yesterday and my knee is totally dead. Same thing happened last weekend after 16-miles, but I thought a week's rest would sort it out. Going to blitz it with ice, rest and ibuprofen this week and see how it goes. Can I let you know towards the end of the week?
Now then physio-peeps (I know you know nothing, but I can't justify the money getting it properly looked at)...., super painful knee - just to the inside/on top of the knee cap? Hurts to bend and touch. Thoughts?
(please note that I'll only be paying attention to answers that can be fixed with ice and tablets - although I will consider a full range of placebos).
Swollen - not particularly (although I'll ask for a second opinion later)
Floaty - no.
How is it at the back of the knee?
Impressive long run there Wickett but sorry about your knee. Sorry, no ideas. I'd go for the ice, ibuprofen route first off. Have you been building up these long runs slowly or just launched yourself into 16/17 mile runs?
Also had text from Squish - tears of joy in Austria too!
no problem just let me know about the run by friday
as for your knee, are you doing any running on it in the week. or just going out on a sunday for a long run?
Swim: 9:49 (but for 400yds so probably similar to Stratford)
Bike + t1 + t2: 45:19 (what I though based on Stratford)
Run: 34:55 so 30secs off Stratford so actually that's ok
1:30:03 (1:29:59 would have looked so much better - darn those safety pins having to be redone in t1!!!)
Have sent off my Worcester Tri form today
You may have a point about the stretching - I'm rubbish at that, despite ranting at the mrs that she needs to do lots, I hardly do any. Didn't do much after the run on Sunday..., but that's because my knee hurt too much!
Todays tune can be Pet Shop Boys - West End Girls since I found out on Friday one of them lives a couple of miles from me (in a place bizarrely called Cole Christmas).
Mark - did a long run last sunday, then about 4k on Tuesday, but stopped 'cos it hurt. Think I'll just swim this week and give it a full week off. Maybe do some stretching.
Mouse - lockout not a problem, doesn't go weak. Just painful to bend, so very sore when standing up or going down stairs.
Well done HL! Do you fancy coming back up to Stratford as well at the end of Sept?
