Yep

Jj · February 2004

phew

Daz · February 2004

jodie swallow's got a bit of puppy fat.

rich, something wanted to ask you. not sas related afraid - did you plan on just doing one ironman and leave it at that (that being a goal forfilled), or did you plan to move on from it into other endurance events?
How did you see yourself moving on once the first one was out of the way?

Jj · February 2004

puppy fat

I like that

that's what I'll call it.

I just have to shift some of my puppy fat around my middle, though it'll probably go anyway when I grow up.

No Daz. I've got two more planned this year. I want to do Lanzarote in May as it is arguably the toughest in the world, so that makes it a challenge in itself. I'm then doing Florida which is the main focus of my year to see just how fast I'm capable of. In Zurich last year I was delighted just to finish, but I want to try and hold it together better on the run this time.

As for moving into other endurance stuff, i've always had half an eye on adventure racing, but having spent (and still spending!) a fortune on tri stuff I think I'll stick with that for a while.

Long term goal is to make the 2005 Age Group team for the World Champs as i'll be into 40-45 by then.

One event you might be interested in with your artic sas shananigans coming up is one I heard a colleague mention (her bfriend has done it a few times). I think it's based in Norway and involves a considerable (prob doub ironman equiz) number of miles x-country ski-ing, running and mountain biking (i think). Damn my memory, forgotten the name!

I've thought before I'd love to work up to competing in the eco-challenge but, like you say, a lot of money (and a few courses and corporate nudging) involved.

cougie · February 2004

Rich - take it easy in Lanzarote, and I'll be there to cheer you in. (if you finish a week or so behind the winner)

As an aside : I loved the review of a campag 10 speed sprocket in this months 220mag.

'And for when it gets hilly - you can use the 21 and 23 sprocket'

Ya don't say ?

Is it me or does 220 seem particularly kit-loving ? If you read that mag you'd think you needed to spend 10 grand to compete.

(when in actual fact it's only about 6 grand)

puppy fat

well ya need something to hang on to... right?

cougie · February 2004

Thought leopards hung onto branches ?

Jj · February 2004

I *trust* he's referring to young Ms Swallow.

Daz · February 2004

you could hang off those cheeks of hers for a start! no offense jodie!

liked the new aldi tri-suit shown in 220.....a massive cost at £9.99 with all the trimmings!! the other brands should be disgusted with themselves!

Jj · February 2004

ooooo- I might buy that for *MY* triathlon!

[looks around slyly for reaction]

cougie · February 2004

I'm wearing mine round the office.

I look like Dafydd off Little Britain.

(which is on Radio 4 at 6.30 tonight peeps)

Daz · February 2004

it actually looks pretty cool for just a tenner jj!

which one is that, only just recently got into that prog. liked the parent of the child 'actor'

Jj · February 2004

If it's boy-shaped it'll do for me. Are Aldi stores only up North?

[Deleted User] · February 2004

Q/ You buy a trisuit..its very tight (so unless you've got a good body you look like a prat). do you go down to your local pool to try it out....if so does everyone look at you as if your a nutter...?

Sorry this is way off thread...but when I saw the trisuit in the Aldi leaflet I thought...if I wore that i'd look like a prat.

Daz · February 2004

heres a list jj : http://www.aldi-stores.co.uk/where_to_find/england_set.html

cougie · February 2004

Daffyd is the only Gay in Llandewi Brefi !

Jj · February 2004

(

nowhere near me, thanks Daz.

cougie · February 2004

There's one about 5 mins walk from here Jj if you're after something ?

Dr Nic Twinks · February 2004

*splutter* Did someone call Jodie Swallow "fat"? Good grief. That isn't an example of someone "fat". Really.

cougie · February 2004

It was Daz miss. Nowt to do with me.

<stands back and awaits bloodshed>

Daz · February 2004

no i didnt call her a lard arse guzzle-bucket. said she "has a bit of puppy fat". she has cheeks that would make a chipmonk jealous. and she knows it cos she told us at TCR.

Daz · February 2004

well she didnt tell us at tcr. but she would have doen if she'd have thought of it

Dr Nic Twinks · February 2004

No it wasn't, stop being silly! It was some wally on a tri forum who's never heard of Jodie Swallow and thinks that because she's a size 12 (at a push) and has a round face she can't be an athlete.

heeee!

cougie · February 2004

TCR ? Did you all have those ickle cars that change lanes ? Oh no. Sorry - wrong TCR. Easy mistake.

RichardM · February 2004

Daz, are you telling me you went back on the Sunday just to see Jodie, seeing as she didn't turn up on Saturday?

As for the ten grand Cougie, is that a monthly or annual budget?

Daz · February 2004

lol

cougie · February 2004

Rich - by the time you buy all those powermeters, natural light boxes, carbon winter training wheels, yada, yada, I reckon it's a monthly budget for 220 mag.

And you of course. Mr Carbon TCR !

<cougie goes green with envy>

Daz · February 2004

rich i did the 10k. i knew jodie was being interviewed from the room overlooking the race track so i thought id try and dazzle her with my bright yellow hair while running around the park, blind her, then usher her into a taxi and take her own as my sex slave
but no, it didnt work. got messy and somethign about "last man on earth"...?

Howdy, Stranger!
