Good point 'cos the fairy's apprentice has been crap.... he need more "list" training
I think you shouold put an asterisk next to the name of all the people who originally intended to do IMUK 2014 but are now going to going to 2013 (i.e. everyone) as this should provide bragging rights for CERTAIN individuals on this thread lol
Don't encourage him
Morning Rabble,
Well done on your weekend exploits, especially recovering from OW wobble - it happens to more people than you would think. You just have to have a coping strategy, I usually find just talking to myself for a second or two helps.
Oh and Raf - thanks for taking the heat off me with your broomstick comments, more of the same over the next two weeks so I don't get battered in Nottingham, thanks.
21 miles on the bike this afternoon, 1 hour 20 min. My back really started to hurt around halfway, so I just moved around in the saddle and stood up for a bit. Seemed to help as it eased off and wasn't that bad when I got home.
Have the house to myself tonight, so I can lie on the sofa and blob. No wine tho', am being good
SD, I too get very edgy if I can't get out and train, but will you please CALM DOWN. Listen to your body, it's telling you something. You're right, skipping the one brick is no biggie, and if you don't rest your painful legs you're going to end up really injuring yourself.
REST! Nurse's orders.
Oops can't read! Not a brick. But you still have to rest!
Lying on the sofa, legs raised, compression socks on
Ooh, what slim, shapely ankles you'll have
Well, I see I can't pop out for a few 'rehydration' guiness after my race without someone leaving the door open and letting the Fairy in!! We'll have to behave ourselves now!!
Holgs - glad to be of assistance...I think!!
And Nursey, I'm follwoing your advice and taking a couple of days off; the wine is open already!
Results are out from yesterday and bike was actually 1:08 - which I well pleased with! I was 160th overall (out of 3650), and 42nd in my age category (out of 380) - not bad for an old man!! Would have been a different story if they had made us do that pesky swimming thingy!!
Well done Raf
Hi guys,
newbie signing on after reading the ironholgs book, feeling inspired to get off my backside & stop making excuses about doing a triathlon!
Hoping for a sprint in a couple of weeks. Also planning on attending the Outlaw as I live in Notts.
How is everyone tonight?
Evening Rabble
Holgs, not a chance
Pleased to have got a sub 7 400m time at the end of my swim session today
Once you try Tri you wont look back
As it happens, all us newbies on here are popping our IM cherries next year & your welcome to join us.
Glad you liked Holgs book. BossHolgs is our mentor here.
Hi Marc, and welcome.
I'm well, thanks for asking, and feeling that slightly smug feeling of having done my exercise for the day, so I can lie on the sofa all night.
So - you've been lured to the dark side! All we need now is to set you up with a new forum name, and you'll be good to go for your first IM. There really is nothing else to it.
Marc - run man! Run....its not too late to get away!!
Hi M...eldy!!
Ok guys, hit me with it, ill give you a few pointers, im an engineer, worki in the oil industry, how about these;
grease monkey, oil baron, any idea?
Sausage dog, thats not a million miles from me, i live in Eakring, small world....
Good to meet you guys!!
Raf
FerrisWheel - i'm very well thanks, will be good to see you at the Outlaw there will be quite a few of us there, do make sure that say hello if you see us
The M...elderator will be the one with the broom and a very long pony tail, probably in a plait, if there's anyone with her that will be Schmunkee - The list fairy who likes nothing better than diving off her bike into the nearest hedge and/or making a list or two.
Stop making excuses
Any questions?
Good work Nursey, how many pistol squats? none? not quite finished then are you...
Matahema... training or another rest day?
Marc - why not pop along to The Outlaw Pirate Feed Station, help and, then watch the Pirates out on the run and have a few beers with us
Gastank - are you fully aware your days are numbered?
And dont even think about adding me to any IM list cos it ain't gonna happen. Okay?
yeh, but Schmunk's...we found this.....so we can get into more trouble for our money
