Simultanuous posting - so ill ad my 2k swim

46.75 km swim.

Guys, am about to send a link, but afraid it will probably really stretch the page. It's from Maporama and I'll do it just once.

Basically shows a route we could take from Traf Sq (good starting point), to Dover, swim across the channel to Calais, to Amsterdam in Holland, to Gent in Belgium, to Eiffel-T in Paris, to Granada right down in South Spain. Picked these spots simply because I know them and quicker on maporama. This ok?

Total distance is - 56k channel swim, 1700 miles bike/run

Where to go next - know anyone in Italy?

....prepare for the link

Tell you what I'll split the link up. Just copy, remove the spaces and paste:

Biking in t'wind & the hail ? You are mad Lizzy. I save that for when I have to in the winter. I look at spinning like a turbo session, but with prettier views than my garage door offers. ;-)

I'll find you a bike, come in and sit down and defrost those fingers.

Daz · September 2003

aha so you're one of the guys that cycles at the back with an inane grin on his face....we know your sort!

[Deleted User] · September 2003

Brr! Thanks Cougie. Just put me behind a nice looking man (actually, I'm not too concerned about his face).

Jj · September 2003

Daz - WHY are your links always so long?

[need my little rolleyes emoticon...]

Daz · September 2003

There back to normal again...

Monique · September 2003

Sorry I have been absent, however I did do a mile swim yeterday. then 6km bike then 3km run- had to retire hurt as my calf did something strange, so am resting today, will swim tomorrow again as I don't use my legs for that.

cougie · September 2003

Poor yu Monique. V sensible on the rest though.

Eww. Just reminded me - last week I took part in a class and the guy in front of my pal was wearing cycle shorts that had worn away at the back. Dunno how ?!

All the way through she just wanted to park her bike there !

Daz · September 2003

poor monique :O( take it easy mate.

lol. how off-putting having a sweaty arse going up and down in front of you

Monique · September 2003

Erm Cougie how is my calf niggle a reminder of holey bike shorts- explain or die.

cougie · September 2003

Tee hee - Sorry Mon - it was Lizzys comment about sittting behind a nice man that made me think of that. Not your funny moo-cow.

Monique · September 2003

You are forgiven. Could have pulled more than my calf yesterday as was being asked probing questions by a weight training meat head type, like does your boyfriend come down etc. Realised he was misguided when he started slagging off the gym even though it has 10 treadmills!

Monique · September 2003

(and his eyes were too close together)

cougie · September 2003

(and he had clown pants on) Probably.

Thanks for the pardon !

Monique · September 2003

Ha ha- no he didn't he was disguised which is probably why I mistook him for a normal person, then he got on about bulking up and going from 9 to 11 stone (yawn)

Monique · September 2003

(and he had murderers thumbs)

Monique · September 2003

oh yes and I'm already married, doh.

Daz · September 2003

Monique, we have a couple of blokes like that down my gym. They prance around with their arms almost horizontally out like a scarecrow because of the size of their triceps and pectorals (and other stupid names).
They never chat to the blokes, just the good-looking girlies, reaching across to point-out what can be done with various buttons on the bike and treadmill.....giving them the opportunity to flex more muscles. And they always wear clothing several sizes too small- big enough for a baby to wear! And then strut up and down grinning from ear to ear on their monkey-man faces.....heh.

The best for me was when meat-haed no.2 took us for spinning class and went flat-out with us. It was like being in the army - he sreamed and shouted and had us go flat-out at top-gear, standing AND doing press-ups. Well he looked good to start with but after just 20 (of the 45) mins he ran out. We found out later he had to go and be sick in one of the gym bins downstairs. Just before I left the building he caught up with me and claimed he pulled out because he was:

a) ill
b) had done loads of spin classes that weak
and c) was a monkey-boy with a bicep for a brain.

well, i actually made that one up, kuh!

Monique · September 2003

That is soo funny, what is it with those clown pants? A friend of mine is a chef and she had one working in the kitchen with her- she got great satisfaction from asking him to pass her things from low cupboards as he couldn't bend down.

Daz · September 2003

hahaha
must be damn uncomfortable. i guess they want to show a bit of quad and gonad (although i thought muscle men had a prob downstairs because of steroids etc)

Jj · September 2003

Monique - what are murderers' thumbs???

Monique · September 2003

JJ-Big fat thumbs, it's an old wifey type expression.

Jj · September 2003

Ohhhhh.

My my. And I thought I'd been around.

Monique · September 2003

jj- I wouldn't swear to it being a foolproof method for spotting a potential murderer, but it's as good as any, eyes too close together is also very useful as well having a "shifty look about them"
