New Triathlete

I am a (Sprint) Triathlete Having completed the Fleetwood Triathlon this Morning

A really well organised and marshalled event even the weather was excellent Thanks to all those who helped put it together

This was my First Triathlon but I suspect it will be not be my last. Someone warned me about it being addictive. Think I could be hooked.

 One Worry I am starting to feel the need to wear sunglasses, self clad in Lycra, and I am experiencing an attraction to carbon fibre and expensive road bikes. Is this Normal ?

M. Thats what I was afraid of !! 

SSP - Not Sure that is a good idea for anyone least of all me .

I'm picturing a shrink wrapped bumble bee

there's a regensburg thread around here somewhere.......

mmm hills to. Get your holiday booked son you know you want to.

Not sure I can run anywhere after this morning....... If only I had a faster bike

Yes a faster bike is always an answer.. Start saving

 If somebody started a thread asking about sweaty socks I'm pretty sure after a couple of replies one of you would suggest doing an ironman to cure the problem !!!

A serious triaflete doesn't wear socks..............

Oh Yeah you are on a pirate thread.. Socks lots of them yellow with go faster stripes

in gold thread

mmmm.

I used to live in Bavaria (Munich) its a nice place very flat. ........Except the mountainy bits which are very mountainy.  Good Skiing too....but not in August.

I have a vague recollection of Very nice Beer in large glasses which contributed in no small part to the first part of my screen name  

I have some friends who used to live in Regensburg seem to remember a big Church. I wonder is something happening there in August?

FBS, I used to live near Augsburg. Did the Regensburg city marathon once.

Come and join us at IMR in August - there's nothing quite like a Pirate outing! Massive support during the race, and a celebratory party the next day.

Ultra IW  I was warned that this might happen.

Having only just started this year. Not sure I am ready for an Ironman just yet.....

My plan for 2011 is to do a few more sprints, an olympic (Liverpool) and maybe a first marathon (never done one before and Nottingham next Sept is looking favourite ). Also will do some more swimming and cycling events through the year. See how I go.

...........Now 2012 ?????
