    supposed to do 4hr bike today. went helping sister set up wedding gazebo etc and now glued to IMAT finish video waiting for the throng of LTC doing in to dribble in. Some good results so far, One girl running 1st in her AG, another lad is going to be worryingly close to the cut off 17hr and I'm literally praying for him here... Sod the damn long bike, I'm welling up with emotional motivation watching this... I'll happily do the f"%kin thing at 3am if I have to next time...

    Avoided a muddy trail, on a trail run, as I didn't want to get my road shoes muddy. Ran on the road instead.

    Plenty of Faustino VII while watching the match last night. Nailed my colours to the mast in my wine glass, I regret nothing. :)

    But Fosters?! That's your confession right there.

    Two days of beer and surfing for me, but I did get my absolution by running from Fisher Street in Doolin to the Visitor's Centre at the Cliffs of Moher and back again, in horrendous winds that threatened to strangle me with my own headphone wire. Definitely some Opus Dei self-flagellation right there.

    Nope, it's a Sansa Clip! And I listen to it all of the time. Except when heading uphill towards the Cliffs of Moher, where the ear-buds were like mini-kites, hovering on the wind a foot behind me.

    Went on the abs batter for my mates stag at the Derby on Saturday. Really needed it. Ate and drank all day......beer..burgers..chocolate..fizzies...vodka.
    Rest day aka dying yesterday

    One thing i havelearned from this thread......we are all what we eat. Not many guys at the pointy end posting on here.

    My other observation is a lot of runners reading the tri forum still. ;)

    Haven't trained since an easy 10 minute run on Tuesday. Spent Wednesday - Friday on the bed/couch with chills and headaches, still wasn't fit Saturday/Sunday. Serious battle to do anything today.

    ...and that's after only getting 2/3 training sessions in the week previous thanks to an MCL strain. FML.

    You mean the triathlon/duathlon/adventure racing forum? Perhaps we're all budding adventurers. :)

    The truth is that most of us were raised in catholic Ireland and we're enticed by the thoughts of some juicy confessions. Where better to get our fix, but from the pie-eaters on the triathlon forum. :D

    If I'd been given advance notice of the date I'd have cooked up pies, lasagne and what not at the weekend and gotten a lend of a microwave. Having the fridge and contents of the presses in the sitting room might be a bit dangerous...

    I just found this thread......if we are talking crap food, I'm in!!!
    Yesterday I had to take my bike for service over lunch and didn't have time to eat my usual proper mid-day fare of tuna fish and ice-cream, so instead I ate mass quantities of M&Ms.....and yes, in 96 degree weather they DO melt in your hands.
