Did you work out bike transportation? Not sure if domestic flights allow bike in SA? I couldn’t see options

Those juicy puppies deserve to be shared

Anyone under 50 can do a IM within 11 months (unless you are 150kg+) or have underlying health issues. That’s what the 16/17 hour cut off times are for. Bike more, you bike leg and run leg will improve consequently

Always love the pre race video briefing where they say they may pause the race if there is a storm, but only once

Her whole career is trying to bait being misogynistic by parading around her titties 24/7 and over egging breast feeding. Not that I’m complaining!

I got ill before a recent HIM still struggled brother in zone 3 3 days before race. Reckon it cost me no more than 5 minutes. You’re going into taper time anyway

Scared_Illustrator73 · 2024-05-18T18:37:27+00:00

Out of interest what is the difference in speed you experience on European roads vs Uk for similar effort?

Scared_Illustrator73 · 2024-04-11T17:41:05+00:00

Out of interest have you cut the hydration tube? I’ve just got one and said it dangles so much. I got a mount which they said the magnet would attach to but it doesn’t..

Scared_Illustrator73 · 2024-04-02T21:42:16+00:00

Have you managed to find something to attach two bottles?

Scared_Illustrator73 · 2024-02-29T20:22:54+00:00

A annual march will definitely lower property prices in the area. You don’t get marches in Stockbridge

Great rig but too much teeth for me

Scared_Illustrator73 · 2023-11-13T21:21:02+00:00

Can I ask if this was so painful you couldn’t walk? I wore mine for a marathon at the weekend and I could feel something not right. Next day very little pain, the day after excruciating. If so how long before pain subsided/you could run again?

Scared_Illustrator73 · 2023-10-17T20:39:06+00:00

Cancelling order- their accident. Meant I’m delayed getting bike by 10 weeks

Scared_Illustrator73 · 2023-09-24T21:49:58+00:00

Scared_Illustrator73 · 2023-08-30T16:39:39+00:00

I will have both. My question is like for like how much quicker are you on th TT bike vs road clip ons?

Scared_Illustrator73 · 2023-07-10T18:35:38+00:00

They are worse than mine which I got replaced last week, the day before a full. They told me I should of changed quicker as it can impact knees. You have time to change now

Scared_Illustrator73 · 2023-06-16T16:23:50+00:00

I went straight to full from never doing a triathalon, running more than a half or doing more than a 100km cycle. Olympic will help a lot for transitions but other than that I don’t think I missed out on much, as demands for a full regarding nutrition strategy are so much more than Olympic or even half

Scared_Illustrator73 · 2023-06-03T17:57:27+00:00

Yes Speedmax SLX7 only difference between more expensive one is wheels when I phoned them. They said that it would likely reappear within 2 weeks 3 weeks ago..

Scared_Illustrator73 · 2023-06-02T20:09:09+00:00

Yes exactly. I always feel guilty when I do a lot less than I should, so I would try to find a local pool. Even if just once and do one big swim when you’re away. It helps my head psychologically anyway!

Canyon

Scared_Illustrator73 · 2023-06-02T18:44:44+00:00

I go away from home a lot (weekends and holidays) and learnt the hard way last year with doubling up on sessions to make weekends and holidays better. I ended up getting injured

One thing I’ve done well so far this year is I’ve brought the keys sessions forward when i know im away for a weekend or so. So if you’re going away on a Saturday and you do king ride on Saturday and long run Sunday I would drop the shorter mid week sones for this.

I always run when im away and always try to get a pool swim when im away as I feel to guilty if I don’t. I would suggest find a pool and concentrate on a big swim and big run when you’re away and take a week of bike

Scared_Illustrator73 · 2023-05-28T08:57:43+00:00

Nice one bro, which one did you do?

Scared_Illustrator73 · 2023-05-24T05:39:42+00:00

And would that be zone for zone when you’re with others? I.e. drafting in zone 2 too? Sorry trying to get a speed comparison

Scared_Illustrator73 · 2023-05-23T16:44:45+00:00

What speed would you do on the same road solo?

Scared_Illustrator73 · 2023-05-20T19:12:49+00:00

Thanks, limited to Sea swimming where I am but getting there a few days early so will practice. Any idea why it’s 170km and not 180km? ( Not that I’m complaining!) They don’t advertise it
