Still not stupid enough to stick my name down for IMUK...
But just got the offical 2010 DVD.. And I'm on it !!!!!!!!!!! as well as loads more pirates !
ISM Adamo Road Saddle. Hopefully it'll be kind to me!
Right Bought the DVD and
Richard you are on it in the extras 15 + mins in at the ind. est. feed station.
Slim I only met you once (I think) but I think you are in the extras 1 + mins in T1 before the start behind a guy being interviewed and at the start of sheep house lane at 12 + mins
Andy really not sure but in the extras there's a guy who looks similar to you walking to the flash at the start who puts his hands up when he sees the camera, don't if that rings a bell with you?
I'm not sure if its me but at 1.14 mins in the back ground faffing with my wetsuit. There's a better clip of my brother in-law than me at 6.51
Can't respond to PM's on RW for some reason?
about to strip my bike and give it a good winter clean...i have a turbo trainer now so gonna give that an easy hour tomorrow...build myself back into it ready for the silly season to start in just over a month!!
how is that seat Laura?? i like the look of that!!!
Gary you not coming the BCTTT do this weekend??
Turbo trainer 1 hour, or more if i can handle the boredom...
Should be back on my training bike tomorrow, ive got it fixed again after a small incident with a blind car driver, I bet it snows and ruins my plans. I cant wait to cycle outside again.
Swimming tonight, It'll be the first time for about 2 years so i have some work to do....
Andy - hope the shoulder gets sorted for you.
I've finally managed a road ride on the new Adamo saddle after being struck down with a hideous cold for ages. It's by far the most comfy saddle I've ever ridden. A bit hard on the sit bones at first, but nothing else is in contact with it so no squashed lady bits at the end of the ride! Perfect
I have been swimming 3 times a week and running 3 times a week up to about 8 miles. Turbo twice a week for an hour each time.
I am in the middle of a rest week now and will build it up again for 3 weeks before taking a fortnight off for Christmas. 3rd Jan is when the fun really starts
Hope your shoulder repairs well, mate.
That saddle looks the biz
Doing a hour on the turbo today, then off to work
Hurray...the snow has nearly gone. Back to the streets.
Is everyone OK? This is a spookily quiet thread. Anyone getting any cool gadgets for Christmas to help them achieve the impossible?
Still in sub zero temperatures in Bolton all the side streets are pack ice lethal on foot or behind a wheel.
Both races planed for last weekend canceled, which I wasn't too disappointed about having picked up a stinker of cold mid last week but getting on the better side of it now.
Boringly no cool gadgets planed
no gadgets planned for me either...i got just about everything under the sun last year so i daren't spend any more or the WAT officer will have me!!!
OK we're off. My 2011 IM training plan started today.
As long as you count a 4.5m run to re-connect me with my car discarded on NYE and a 90 min turbo watching Tarantinio's Death Proof. Still not sure about that movie after the second viewing but it did distract me from the turbo-boredom.
I got one of those swimovate watches for Christmas too and it is very clever. I still counted my lenghts when I tested it but it didn't put a foot wrong.
How's everyone else doing? Training plans ready to go...
Ooooo, I fancy a swimovate watch. Good to hear they work properly.
I'm heading out on the bike soon - all my december rides were done on the turbo, very boring!
Good luck everyone!
I'm looking forward to hearing about everyone's progress
I've had quite a few doubts over christmas about if i want to go through this all again so i'm hoping that starting training gives me a bit of motivation...i'll perk up a lot once the weather turns a bit warmer i reckon.
good luck to you guys starting the journey this week too.
I'm on the wagon for this month though...also (and i've never admitted this before to anybody) joined up with weightwatchers online....i'm not exactly massive but i want to drop about a stone over the next few months and having that helps me plan what i eat and make sure i dont over estimate.
oh also...for good turbo workouts if your in front of a PC or can have one close by
http://www.turbotraining.co.uk/
its good
I'll have a look at that site Andy, thanks. I know what you mean about the weight thing though, I'm a big eater and don't seem to have that mechanism that tells you when you're full lol. I lost almost 2 stone since last Jan just doing mainly slow runs, cutting down portion sizes and eating more fruit. I've just got back from the brick session and tbh I enjoyed it . I took Richard Sharp 13's advice and It worked,thanks Richard.
Ps I also cut back on the amount of alcohol I was consuming last year and I think that contibuted to a lot of the weight loss. On the wagon for me to mate, new years eve well put me off.
Hi All
I am a bit late to this party but am in for IMUK too
Am doing Don Fink's Be Iron Fit programm as recommended by Triumphant - if anybody is still looking for a simple programme, this one is brilliant. It has a 'Get you round an Ironman' plan too which is great for people who have little time / families / a life
I've done quite a few sprints, a couple of olympics and one half IM, but am new to MDOT - any helpful pointers to avoid me kakking myslef in July would be appreciated - although perhaps kakking yourself is compulsory....
glad you've joined in mate..any questions just ask...otherwise we'll see you for some training rides in the spring???
