2013 IM Mentoring

Following a few PMs with Silver Trucker it seems we are both not only in the same area, but use the samw OW pond and want to do the same events.

Seems I may have tripped upon a training buddy and it seems more likely that this will happen!

HP much respect! but yes IM is full of OMG how did they manage? Stories which makes me think hmm I have no excuse really!

Will also be digging out my HR strap and getting to grips with the HR malarky too

Pixie.....you'll have a job tripping over ST... have you seen the bloody size of him....

Recommend 'Going Long' for general advice on long-d triathlon.  Nicely condensed.

Razor I get to meet the giant on Thursday - he's a whole foot taller than me!!

Daz that at Fink is my summer reading!

Did the cotswold 113 in 5:41 and absolutely loved it. Goal for the Outlaw would be sub-12 (is this realistic??) / just finishing. My plan is currently work on swim/core/trying not to kill too many people at work. Then start the Fink intermediate program.

with your speed on the bike I would have a bash at the Fink competitive programme. If you can't keep up with the amount of hours, you could always drop back to the intermidiate or hash both together! Realistically I you run and swim as fast as you cycle, then under 12hrs will definately be do-able.

Lol I'm not that big Razor

I do believe it was Nico and Horse who were put forward for that honour at the Pirate awards this year

Raf.....What was that award Horse was nominated for, didn't hear about any of the awards or who won them, have you got a list?

ST.......If your not that big...... I must be a dwarf......

Pixey......Dont let the big fella boss you about....

Razor he stood me up last night so I've lost the love now! Had to drown I mean swim on my own in the big scarey lake with the big scarey (masssive) fishes

Not good policy to OW swim on your own anywhere.

Big fish do even bigger fish poo!

KK only alone as in no big strong pirate to look after me! There was about 60 others there as it's a tri organised swim at the water park.

No way ever never would I swim alone alone OW

please don't remind me of the poo!

Ah ok

Think of the poo as a beauty treatment, all those nutrients! yum!

I find "Going Long" really difficult to get my head around. Guess it depends on your learning style. If you need to understand what you're doing,and be in control of it all, it's probably good. But it doesn't "tell" you what to do.... and the only example plans in there (even for "Novice Nick") start at about 16 hours a week.

For my money... Fink is a much better book for finishers... Going Long for competitors.

I was tooo scared of you not to go!! You stood me up to go shopping of all things!
