When I was at uni a friend was a UCI triathlete. Occasionally we'd bump into each other on the road. I'd be thankful for the push, he'd be chatting thankful for the rest. Then off he'd go.

machine is waaay too far. I haven't put in enough work for that, and i have continued to drink. I love to drink.
But i have really improved my running, my last 3 runs have all been between 11 and 13 kms, and all done at average speeds of 5.20 per km. That's pretty solid in my book.
Surprisingly, now that it doesn't hurt, i have actually enjoyed the running, and i think i will keep up with it after my race. Might even look at a marathon one day.

A mate of mine did the 100km trail run in the Blue Mountains on the weekend. Absolutely insane. Now he is a machine.

I've done the six foot track run with people who finish it in three hours. They're simply a different species.

@mariner4life most of my 'running' is trail runs, so includes alot of walking up steps.

i run on the Esplanade because it is nice, flat, and there are heaps of hot chicks in active wear.

Sounds like you are in great shape to me, good luck!
I think i mentioned it before, but without i am as fit, if not fitter, than i have ever been. I'm astounded what i can do without blowing really hard, and how quickly i recover.
It's just that i have a lot to get through, and having never done it before, i don't know what to expect.
@mariner4life so is your missus!!
Good luck with the race!
lol failed on the quote post.

A minute thirty three. Shit that’s quick! What an #athlete

race week.
last week not the ideal prep, big week in China. Too much food, too much beer. one epically large night out. Did manage a 10km run though.
This week very light work only. Swam a km yesterday. 45 minutes on the bike trainer this morning. A slow 5km planned for Thursday.
Pretty stressed about Sunday to be honest. Feels like Grand Final week used to. Not excited yet, hoping that comes when i register on Friday.

okay, race weekend here, and conditions are, quite frankly, appalling. It's raining today. Wind is 25-35ks. By all accounts Palm Cove is a washing machine, with swells up to a metre.
36 hours to calm the fuck down or it's going to be a shitfight.

That sucked and I fucking hated it

that's what women have been telling me for years.
That's why you have to push through it.
-
Seriously though, you're fucking mad to be doing it, you crazy bastard.
I imagine the swim sucked, how about the bike and run?
-

-
