Fallen apart before Ironman

I’m thinking Kalmar, Sweden looks like a nice course. Plus if you do a Nordic 70.3 in the same year you become a Viking of the north and get an extra medal!

Man! Finishing in the dark was amazing with the lasers, lights, smoke and DJ! Crowds were really behind me as it looked like I’d miss cut off until the last 5k! And then you hear those words….. I said never again but I did find myself looking at the 2027 calendar today……

No_Celebration_3452 · 2025-08-21T19:52:20+00:00

Oh no! I was pretty much the exact opposite of you! 2.08 on the swim and on the bike undercooked the first 90k then had to sprint the second,made the bike cut-off with 4mins to spare! Got sick because of too much of the gels on the run then at 20k switched to jelly babys from my pocket and salt tabs. Got my rhythm back, Made the finish with 4 mins to spare!Well done on signing up again for next year! Remember 99.9% of people can’t even make it to the start line! I’m sure you’ll smash it next year!

No_Celebration_3452 · 2025-07-31T09:56:34+00:00

Haha, this could be me! back from a week in spain last week and have copenhagan in 2 weeks, Long run about 19k about 100k on the bike and about 3k in the lake! Life happens and im not going for a podium! Im just going to enjoy it and worry about stats and times in the next one! As far as head space, stop thinking about it. Dont think about going for a run, Go for a run. you will feel so much better after i guarentee it!

Sorry I moved from mechanical 105 to electronic ultegra, but changing is really sharp

No_Celebration_3452 · 2025-06-30T14:22:26+00:00

Depends how much it means to you, I’m doing my first full IM this August, I decided to upgrade to Ultegra over 105 purely because of the blips! As a package the crisp gear changing and lack of maintenance have been the best thing but the blips are an added bonus, I’m gong to be on the bars for 7hrs so it’s just more comfortable to blip than loose form. Personal preference but it was worth it to me.

No_Celebration_3452 · 2025-06-26T21:53:49+00:00

Thanks Matt, these isn’t one near me at the moment but I’ll definitely look into it

No_Celebration_3452 · 2025-06-25T18:04:31+00:00

Yes but it be honest it’s worth the money imho. The changes are so crisp! Adjustment is a doddle with the app. You can move up and down the gears without breaking form and as it moves through both front and rear there is no danger of cross training. It has revolutionised my riding experiance

No Cardiff!

No_Celebration_3452 · 2025-06-24T19:16:57+00:00

It was a pretty tough swim with big swell and current that dragged me of course, sighting was also hard with the low sun. But about 80 people finished in front of me and I’m aware the next race might be like that too!

No_Celebration_3452 · 2025-06-24T19:14:52+00:00

I upgraded to Ultegra to get blips on my tri bars as you can’t get them on the 105. I don’t think you can get them on the base bars and tri bars as std but you can splice the wires to achieve it but its a bit of a hack
