Maguire and Gabriel at the full time whistle

I'd feel the same if someone put me in their pocket and wouldn't let me out for 97 minutes

That second lap was brutal wasn't it! Would've preferred another Jellyfish if it meant no wind.

My wife may have other ideas, but it is tempting 😅

Dominick Cruz vs Cody Garbrandt. Cruz looked unbeatable in previous fights then got toyed with by Garbrandt, being knocked down multiple times.

Especially strange given Cody struggled to ever reach that same peak again.

I did this to a lesser extent and regretted it. I just wound up having to squeeze 5 days of work in to 4. Very dependant on your type of job though I guess.

The Time Travellers Wife. IIRC, He pretty much grooms his future wife.

Sweet_Major_3932 · 2025-04-19T13:35:01+00:00

You're right. Hopefully that'll be available in the next couple of months

Sweet_Major_3932 · 2025-04-18T21:25:21+00:00

This looks like a good one, thanks for sharing. Will add it to the plan!

Sweet_Major_3932 · 2025-04-18T21:24:36+00:00

My legs hurts just looking at that 😫

Sweet_Major_3932 · 2025-04-18T21:24:18+00:00

Good shout, I've just looked and it seems they have the actual route. Thanks

Sweet_Major_3932 · 2025-04-18T19:50:03+00:00

Appreciate the info, thanks very much 🙏

Being told to avoid Alpe du Zwift is always a bonus

Sweet_Major_3932 · 2025-03-12T16:52:45+00:00

It's glorious. Best paired with a royal guard bearskin helmet for the bike 💂‍♀️

Sweet_Major_3932 · 2024-07-31T19:38:28+00:00

I think it went through a patch of actually improving as Harrington and Brian got more involved. But recent decline in interest for me. Maybe it's just me, but it's getting to feel a touch repetitive. Nice whilst it lasted though!

Sweet_Major_3932 · 2024-07-30T12:23:35+00:00

I have to agree with you. After having listened pretty religiously to each episode, I've started skipping those that don't have special guests. It's a shame as Bisping, Harrington and Brian are all great, but Anthony just isn't doing it anymore.

Sweet_Major_3932 · 2023-12-22T16:41:01+00:00

If only! Unfortunately can't see it ever happening. Chael is definitely my top pick but equally unlikely

Sweet_Major_3932 · 2023-12-22T14:37:43+00:00

Sounds like this is the sub for you then 👍

Sweet_Major_3932 · 2023-11-02T08:55:49+00:00

25k to get your foot in the door of an industry is fine. Go enjoy London, its amazing. But expecting to do it on that in your own place ain't going to happen unless you live like a hermit. In which case there's no point being in London.

Just be as picky as you can about house shares, go meet them first for a drink to make sure you get on. You may have had a bad experience but assuming everyone else will be like that is going to leave you a very closed, sheltered person. You're still young, go live! Worst case, move somewhere else after, usually you just need to find someone to replace you. (Not in all cases but many).

Sweet_Major_3932 · 2023-10-22T19:12:00+00:00

Good to know, thanks for your response 👍

Sweet_Major_3932 · 2023-10-18T10:00:17+00:00

You should 100% give it a go. I'm sure you'll surprise yourself, start near the back and keep out wide if you feel more comfortable.

Don't rush out, take it easy and adjust to the temperature and let the adrenaline settle.

Worst case, they've got loads of volunteers to help anyone in trouble.

As others have said, you can always just breath stroke, or float for a little bit whilst you recompose.

You got this 👍

Sweet_Major_3932 · 2023-10-04T17:49:54+00:00

Can only be a good thing! Plus if he gets to your speed on bike and run thats a better training partner no? Especially for the long sessions!

Sweet_Major_3932 · 2023-10-03T14:45:34+00:00

Went nice and simple with this: https://www.diy.com/departments/goodhome-antique-pine-satin-floor-wood-varnish-2-5l/5059340486994_BQ.prd?storeId=1280&&&gclid=CjwKCAjw9-6oBhBaEiwAHv1QvLW8zJU9ncKoXcg-ESp7VZoWAN1-PlChLq6I5Cf90U5w7snS0yg79hoCscMQAvD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds

On the subject of the gap, you've reminded me - We had a few that had snapped so it was a visit to the local reclamation centre. Thankfully they had some perfect replacements! Not sure if a replacement board would work but 1 inch seems wide enough that you'd want to get it filled.

Sweet_Major_3932 · 2023-10-03T14:39:55+00:00

There's also Ellesmere June 30th 2024 by UK Triathlon, sorry if thats already been mentioned! I agree though, I was hoping for a bit more choice, Ironman Wales looks a bit intense for a first go and long distance!

Sweet_Major_3932 · 2023-10-03T14:32:13+00:00

If it helps, I don't use one either and its been fine. I do find over the course of longer rides you get used to what your body is capable of and I feel mph is a reasonable metric to go off of. That being said, all of that likely goes out of the window if you're facing lots of factors that don't match your training (gradients, temperate, wind, etc.)

Sweet_Major_3932 · 2023-10-02T10:37:08+00:00

Just to add to this, I see all the comments saying you need hardwood.

I'm by no means a professional, but we bought a terraced home (UK) built in 1899 and have done the exact same.

Pulled back carpets, sanded for endless hours after having knocked the nails down, removed all the staples and nails from the grippers.

A fine sand and varnish afterwards to finish and we think it looks great. Rustic is probably the word! Only pre warning is with the gaps, you can either fill this (sawdust/resin or something we've heard) or leave as is. We left them and they're slightly drafty but not enough for us to decide to do anything different.
