just got off bike, helmet head and numb arse.

L.Jenkins · 31-07-2011 8:07pm

I've had the same complaints myself, but I was never privvy to wearing a helmet. Get hit by a car and the foam on your head will do feck all for ya.

Kanoe · 31-07-2011 8:25pm

no hidden meaning there, I'm just not out there in the midst of things so you probably wouldn't see me too much.

spent an hour watching the boats in the harbour

You know how they say you never forget to ride a bike? Total myth...at least in my case. *fail*

I got on a bike yesterday for the first time in 12 years. It was a rather pretty road bike. It was pointing downhill. I did not fall off.

OOOH fancy. The last time I was on a bike was a year or so ago and I could not get up enough speed to pedal without like falling over or wobbling or whatever. The time before that was maybe seven year ago, I had basically the same problem. It's like learning all over again except now I'm nineteen so i'd look a bit weird practicing around the estate. =P

L.Jenkins · 31-07-2011 10:18pm

I have a racer, but haven't used it in awhile. I was going to use it for Triathlons, but I seem to have some serious phobia when it comes to learning how to swim.

You know what I was thinking and I just posted in the GAA forum. Recreational GAA teams! Like 5 a side football, but GAA style. I'd love to join a team for the luls. My 40 year old sister who is British joined one for feck sake

On saying that I'd say she'd be some woman on the pitch as she's a fiery red head :P

Ah I love swimming, I just don't do it often enough and my technique sucks because I haven't had any lessons since school. Did 1,500m in the pool yesterday morning though.

L.Jenkins · 31-07-2011 10:44pm

Yeah swimming. I can't recollect on anything that may have happened to me, but I freak out. I was in the Cork Naval Base, supposed to be minding infantry troops, but I nearly lost the rag when they suggested I get on a boat. ItsThatManAgain is to boats and water as BA is to flying :P

Asry · 01-08-2011 11:52am

Ohhh, no I don't do boats. I get incredibily seasick very fast. I've had problems with my ears as in hearing and also balance for as long as I can remember.
I love swimming though!!!! Sea swimming is so lovely.

I'm drinking my coffee black, trying to be all cool and manly and all. I also chop wood with an axe. (that's a lie). Anyway I've been accused of being a hipster because of this. Comments?

(also the bitter tears of petra von kant was not as sexy as we were hoping

:()

Chuchoter · 01-08-2011 12:27pm

Boats, in all shapes and forms I completely love. Swimming is not my forte by a long shot...I also immensely dislike swimming instructors for some unknown reason.

@Asry, coffee is nicer black!! As for wood chopping, I suppose it depends whether you're doing it because coal is too mainstream or not. It does smell nice though. :P

Killer_banana · 01-08-2011 3:35pm

I haven't much experience with boats although generally I like the. Like on any form of transport though if I'm facing the opposite way to which the boat is moving in I get seriously dizzy.

I looove swimming but my technique is far from brilliant. Haven't been in ages though despite living next to a leisure centre which my mother is a member of.

Asry · 01-08-2011 3:44pm

Nooo sea swimming is the only way to do it! I'd swim at any time of the year! Man it's great. I went swimming with mom a few years ago on Christmas Day. We nearly died but it was really worth it.

note - crashing so bad from the coffee earlier. Mmmmmmbedbedbedbedbed

Yeah sea swimming is a lot better but pool swimming's cool too. I can't imagine swimming in winter, I'm a baby when it comes to cold so I'd probably cry the whole time. Christmas day, was that the event held in Salthill? My friend did that last year, apparently there was ice floating in the water. =P

L.Jenkins · 01-08-2011 11:53pm

Winter, reminds me of the ice. Was walking 200/300 yards out on to a frozen lake for the craic until me and a mate heard ice shelfs break off a couple of miles out. Never ran on ice before or a lake for that matter until that night :P
