Iron Distance 2012 Training Thread

If its a goer I'll shout IronHolgs as well

 Did someone say hills? I might not be able to make it that weekend with stuff on but I'd be up for it. Might be able to drag sarah along as well for part of it. She's getting better but still early days on a bike.

Let's see if we can sort some dates out that suit. I'll check with Horse when he's off.

OK, Lets see who's available on what dates,

Razor ...!8th/19th
Horse....!8th/19th
SA........18th/19th
B/Burn..18th

Can we have alternate dates

Will try and get Mrs SA as well

Nice hilly ride ,isnt that an oxymoron?

I would like to join in but my free dates are limited, Can do sun 19th in Aug but then its Sept.

30 mins turbo followed by 6 mile run, last night and I actually felt good and like I might be making an improvement,

Mrs SA said I looked dead fresh when I finished!

Or she might have just said I looked dead

Mrs SA can make it on 18th August as well, so do you guys want to arrange a good metting point and a time say 13:00

Good training Crux. I am ready to go to do half a brick, waiting for STIL to get in on his bike and then we will trot together

The kids are are was with grandparents and we are having hot training dates this week.  I did mention the cinema but maybe next year.

BB....Was thinking of starting from my house but that would meen you driving over to me in Swinton, if we decide on a route over your way we could meet you nearer your end.

Will let you know, it could be the route over Darwin, Blackburn, Accrinton, Haslingden, Bury and back home , will have a word with Horse he knows the route better than me.

Well swimming was sh1te last night, did 1 lap as fast as poss (see the swim Challenge thread) then another, then took wet suit off as to hot, 2 more laps done, had enough got out went home.

Had the "What the feck am I doing?" moment tonight

The OW venue was rammed full of people, now is it just me, I don't like the pool, too many people just messing about, breaststroke mafia (yes I know I take Jordy to the pool for a mess about), but when we go open water usually there's a sense that everyone wants to swim, last night it was full of people paddling FFS.

Am I turning into a grumpy old man?

 I throught you always where an grumpy old man.  MIght be able to make this now Thinking head into manc and take it from there How far do you think you will go and stuff?
