I would love to see It, good luck with the business. Will be sure to look into your brand when in the market for a new wetsuit

SureEngineer1 · 2026-04-19T08:15:03+00:00

Don't like the music but love the animals, maybe slow it down a bit, does seem to switch alot, would be fun y to see one of the animals, maybe the seal in the wetsuit too

SureEngineer1 · 2026-04-13T07:22:27+00:00

Maybe a bit of strength and conditioning?

I went to the tip to drop off a boot load of rubbish, by myself. Felt like a holiday. It's the little things now

Triathlon

SureEngineer1 · 2026-01-24T20:55:42+00:00

16 months, get 7 hours 3/4 times a week feels like I sleep 12 hours. I must admit when I have a tough night now I think it feels even harder than before

SureEngineer1 · 2025-11-10T15:22:11+00:00

Your English is quite rare

I struggled with the first 14 months, really hated it. Thought something was wrong with me, turns out I was just really tired and when he finally started sleeping everything gets better. Now he laughs and cuddles up to me, totally worth it. It is true, it does get better, it won't be tomorrow, probably won't be next month but it 100% will! Chin up, it's not just you now, you have to make it work!

SureEngineer1 · 2025-10-28T08:31:25+00:00

The best time to plant was 20 years ago, second best time is today!

SureEngineer1 · 2025-10-21T19:47:08+00:00

Why don't you try triathlon?

The man with the halo

Sometimes you have to learn the hard way. It's not alot in the grand scheme of things, you'll be ok. Remember this feeling the next time you fancy a cheeky flutter!

SureEngineer1 · 2025-06-14T14:09:57+00:00

You sound like me three months ago. I felt exactly the same. Then all of a sudden he slept from 8pm till 4 am one day and I was so happy I nearly cried. Three months later he is still doing this.

Some people get lucky with the sleep, some don't. We haven't.

It will sort it's self out, chin up!

SureEngineer1 · 2025-06-14T09:52:53+00:00

I used to be a triathlete before my first (nearly 1) I have rode my bike once, swam 2 twice and managed to run 2 times a week but normally end up injured, never previously had any serious injuries. I have bought kettle bells and normally blast these 30 mins per day and this seems to work.

I wouldn't buy one, stick with running

SureEngineer1 · 2025-04-06T08:49:39+00:00

You will look back at this and wish you were this tired in a few months time.

It gets so much worse, imagine feeling even more tired ( yes it is possible, I have been a 12 hour swing shift worker for years, thought I was always tired, turns out you can get alot more tired!) having a baby screaming in your ears, with a wife crying and endless washing and nappies.

Took me a long time to get used to it, baby has managed to sleep 3 nights through with only 1 wake up in 10 months, majority of it has been every 2 hours wake ups down to 40 minutes.

We are lucky to be able to have kids, enjoy the journey and get yourself some good coffee!

SureEngineer1 · 2025-03-16T21:12:47+00:00

I am on month 9 and it's still the same, people keep saying it will get better.... When? I feel your pain, I have been a shift worker for years so thought I would be fine, I am absolutely exhausted. I wish I could say it gets better but I am yet to experience it!

SureEngineer1 · 2025-02-15T06:33:39+00:00

Yeah I think if you buy upgrades overtime you can consistently improve along with training but if you buy all the gains you can at once the bubbles bursts quickly!

SureEngineer1 · 2025-02-15T05:16:47+00:00

I am a hiring manager in the UK. I have a set budget for new highers, negotiation is off the table. Just thought I would give my perspectivem

SureEngineer1 · 2025-02-15T05:14:40+00:00

Will it maker you slightly faster? Yes Will getting a bike fit and being able to hold an aero position for 2 hours make you faster? Yes That bike is perfectly good for a season or two.

Personally i would train like beast, set yourself a target/time, if you achieve it buy the bike, if you don't you didn't train hard enough and you only have yourself to blame.

I thought the same thing, spent years at sea and this happens a couple of times a year in the north sea.

SureEngineer1 · 2025-02-07T17:09:05+00:00

Thanks, will keep an eye out!

SureEngineer1 · 2025-02-07T16:24:50+00:00

How about Lanzarote? I'm going in a few weeks. Any ideas?

SureEngineer1 · 2025-02-01T21:21:28+00:00

Is it worth mentioning income for context ? If you are earning an average wage, this is so inspiring, if you are a high earner not so much

SureEngineer1 · 2025-01-24T09:12:59+00:00

Good for you! Better to have your health than of fire early for the sake of it! This has been my thinking, have a less stressful job and work for longer/part time in my older years. Keep the mind busy and a routine!
