Blimey no, I hate swimming. I don't do much of anything now except drinking wine and losing at poker. Or in Nevada, drinking mojitos and winning at poker, bizarrely. It must be the mint.

Speaking of which, did you get into the Vermont thing yet Scott?

Because if they are still being sniffy about it, you could sign up for that Mojave 50 miler and undertake to finish that in 12 hours as a qualifier. A bulletproof plan if ever there was one.

i got an email from vermont lady yesterday giving me all sorts of useful information on flights, hotels etc.  very impressive how long and informative her emails were.  so far, i have not officially been "accepted" into her race...but i am confident i will. 

i cant work the mojave desert race into my work schedule ... and i am so f..ing out of shape that even one marathon i did sunday (ridiculously slow) has me still very sore.

but i will ensure i get into vermont and i win that belt buckle. 

did you win the 3rd place finishers jacket at the triple?  i read all the reports on the site, brilliant.

if i may ask...

how old is the man who came out of retirement and did the IM in florida?  (his report doesnt say) 

His wife, Deb did the IM as well that year?  the video which shows him finishing also shows his wife nicely dressed in jeans, relaxed and all smiles, not looking tired at all.

is that me you're talking about Scott ?

nicely dressed and all smiles?? tee hee

remember I had over three hours to take my stuff back to the hotel, shower, eat, relax and come back to cheer him in

he was only 50 then, so not THAT old

sadly I think it is

I was showered and changed and managed to run over the line for the second time faster than Bryan - it's amazing what 3 hours rest can do for you

oh true

I hope I don't look like Bryan when I cross the line this year then, what with my sporadic training

I think it would take a lot less than sporadic training to look like that

that's why I retired - I figured with my advancing years I was never going to get quicker than that.....I was 54 when I did Florida.....

so so tempted to come out of retirement to do IMCH again - great event - but decided no.....doing the Oly instead and supporting those doing the main one

just shows that you're never too old or heavy to do these things - application and dedication and you're home and dry......

and a little bit of talent

when it comes to biking and running, i have zero talent ...in fact, i am so bad at both, potentially I have negative talent.   is there such a thing as "negative talent"?

very impressive FB ... you look more like an american football playert than a sub 12 hr Ironman.

On that basis, I'd have said you're boll**ksed then, FB 

Still, the numbers don't lie.  Another victory for the Flying Clydesdales.

(don't hit me).
