    You're welcome :). Thought you might like that. The jeans are a killer in the pool though.....(might explain my swim times :rolleyes:).

    Prediction - you'll lead out of the swim but I'll blitz the bike (i.e. 31kph with a tailwind :D) to catched you by 10km and then blow up on the run due to "GI issues" :p

    I would say Tunney is crapping himself considering the long weeks training i have had and still being able to run at the pace i did off the bike today.
    Roth is game over for him, no coming back for him. Lacks mental strength and needs to use his kids bottles to drink water as cannot drink from cups:)

    Here is the thing though - I can go around corners on my bike..............

    How did your IM simulation ride go?

    True that need to put stabilizers back on:). It went well, hit 35 degrees on the bike so the warmest day since over here, cannot find many flat roads over here!!

    My prediction. Fazz to take it by 2-3 min. But I'll do everything I can (legally!!) to stop him. Looking forward to getting out there and seeing what I've got.

    I know it's not the best smack talk but there you go.

    Brown envelope timing? You mean the negative time penalty? I have some incriminating photos of Eamon Tilley!!

    Miscounting on the poolside meant we swam 1600m.

    Bike was 37.35km per my watch.

    thanks for bike split length!!!

    Sorry Oryx, those were for Fazz.

    Nice to meet you briefly yesterday Red. Hope your race went well.

    This is getting a little ridiculous. I am all for a little bit of banter but its gone too far. JB has started stalking me. I have photographic evidence of him stalking me from my neighbours garden and I am going to the police with it.

    No that will be me at the finish line in Roth with the welcome sign as Tunney finishes a good few minutes behind me.

    Based on Mr Tango's first 30min @ IM pace at the weekend, both of you might want to start thinking about catching him on the run ;)

    I take it back, based on his splits today you might not see him on the run either :)

    Fazz is currently 2nd in the TI national series behind Shane Scadding... go Fazz! Another strong result at Athy should ensure he stays there too.. :)

    So, who is gong to do what to whom at Athy... besides me handing Tunney his own backside ;)

    Ha I smiled at that too when I saw it :):D

    It doesn't matter that others have only done 1 race to my 2 does it?? :D


    Back to smack talk - is Tunney even entered yet?

    Athy is a tricky one to race as lots of waves.
    Think it was by age group last year.
    Me and BTH should be fighting in the water again :D
    Hopefully we'll only do the required distance this time!
    There's a fast 3dtri guy for us to chase I think... ;)
    Thank god for the narrow river!

    Bambaata/BTH/ElDirector/everyone- make sure you beat Shane Scadding in the sprint so he doesn't score too high :D

    Whats going to happen in Athy is that I'm going to score sooo many NS points in the sprint that I'll leap-frog Fazz in the overall rankings even though he'll have finished ahead of me twice. :D

    Dunno, just saw back in the thread he was? If not, I'll just have to target JB as Tunney predicted that he will finish ahead of me :) Both those boyos will be near peak IM shape too so all the better...
