Delighted to be dropped by HH at mile 17......... as it was seriously damaging my street cred to be seen with someone wearing the tri-ponce visor & calf guards
Much more in keeping was Seren's comment to BBC radio London that the skull & crossbones was about people who "sort of do triathlon"
Nice linky, you must be famous innit!
It's the linky to the 8 o clock marathon show, not the 10 o clock. If anyone wants to hear the posse...
Oooohhhh!!! Seren & hairy are famous! Big up the Pirates!! Hairy, you are not very nice, are you?!
So, has Just Tom done an IM, is he going to come and visit us here?
i am in a good mood so will not go on the link to hear my usual drivel...
so great to meet so many pirate asgain .before during and after......
highlight
running along quietly and a strange man suddenly comes up and asks if i am in a triathlon club....i say yes and then he tells me that Kanga said to say hello.........it made my day that a tall australian came and gave me that message......
Jaffa..i wasn't thinking straight at that interview as i had just seen you mincing your way across the field seconds before........
great work at mudchute again...........especially to Mr Z who has amazing hugs.......and I got 2 of my 3 requests.........no bacon butty but the sausage rolls, smoked cheese and chocolate made up for no bacon
I apologise to amyone in the pub I upset as I get even louder and less tactful when i drink and a few pints without food isn't good for this old girl.....
so thank you all for helping to make a great day despite my PW time...50 mins slower than my first ever marathon.....finishing time 5:25
Holly - PSC was on there as well - midlife crisis man
Tom's done a few - very fast swimmer and runner, but cyclist he ain't! He's a busy man so doesn't normally get much time to play on forums, but will see what I can do - he likes beer though
And I am very nice I'll have you know - if you're around tomorrow morning I'll even buy you a coffee to prove it
Thank you lovely Pirates for your support on Sunday, from both Funkin and myself. He was awesome and finally got his GFA, hurrah!
I was chuckling to myself as Seren was running along with me with her diet coke before I sent her on her way! I didn't realise she'd had sausage rolls too, didn't tell me that!
The slight lack of knowledge of the interviewer makes me laugh, you can almost hear the cogs turning...
"Here we are at the blue area with the....
[oh feck, who are the people at the blue area?]
... with the elite runners and the ordinary runners....
[???]
so who is Tom, and who was the other one who spoke - was that Jaffa? I didn't hear HH's dulcet tones though
I couldn't allow myself to be heard on radio on Sunday morning....... I only said I was popping out for a newspaper
Just Tom deserves to be a pirate, I was in awe when he got out his pre-race nutrition of smokey bacon crisps & a garage bacon & egg sannie.
Just Tom's great - he normally tries to sneak in a few beers the night before a race as well....
Debbo - I was the one who made the comment about running together - I have a cold at the mo, which makes my voice even deeper and manlier. Erm......
LOLOL. The interviewer sounded very non-plussed at Ironman. It was almost a 'yeah, yeah, Ironman yadda, yadda, yadda but what about the MARATHON?
HH, we should set up a new thread in dedication. 'You are the interview slayer'.
Still got her leg higher than any of us can manage..... real afalete
Is Just Tom single by any chance????
You can fill me in over our coffee tomorrow, HH. If I remember correctly they do nice looking cake there too...
Sounds like another great day out though
it was a lovely moment...
Kanga - so we still can't rid of you, even by sending you to the colonies
That's coz he minces his words, too
Hell no, worse than a dose of clapLoved meeting up with the gang above for some good pre and post race banter.
she really didn't know what was going on did she!
I loved the fact that she gave "just Tom" a pair of headphones and started the interview with him, then just turned around and interviewed the rest of us leaving the earphones on Tom who was looking increasingly concerned that he may be throttled by the cord!
I think Jaffa legged it when he saw the microphone.
'have to send a messenger', Kanga!
Sounds like you're sending an angel down to deliver messages from on high!!
Cracking autumnal day outside today, clear, cold, blue skies, and about to run to work. Loved those sort of days back 'home'
