So having sat up and watched the uncut movie version "A Serbian Film" (90 minutes of uncomfortable viewing to say the least) on the laptop on sunday night.

Christ you are putting on weight mloc - get that breathing right before the swim in Frankfurt
Its wasnt as bad as I expected it to be - it actually ticked along quiet nicely until the end where one or two bits were just plain silly. I thought after the cut version would have been a better film, one or two of the uncut parts was purely gratuitous and wouldn't have effected the film.
But certainly you would want a strong stomach - I had heard the newborn bit was in it but I wasn't expecting the bit towards the end - the wife wouldn't have lasted 5 minutes of that movie
I am not surprised you have seen it, I mentioned it in work the following day and every programmer in here had seen it and recommended Cannibal Holocaust to me - are all programmers shock horror fans

Ah Cannibal Holocaust, I have it sitting on a HDD at home but could never bring myself to watch it. The fact that the animals were actually slaughtered in it is disturbing. I find it hard to watch the end of Apocalypse Now knowing that the buffalo was not a clever camera trick.0 -

I found it silly in parts but some of it was grim. The bit with his son............rough!!
Must give cannibal holocuast a go.0 -

You really need to start thinking about increasing your bike mileage if you're doing Kenmare. It's a damn tough bike IMO and the run will be torture if you don't get the finger out soon.
No need to panic just yet - Just over 23 weeks to go and the Don Fink plan has been fished out of the closer over Paddys Weekend 0 -

Thank god. A modicum of class has now been restored to this log.
Nope, the redneck is back!However the brother in law unexpectedly arrives over with the ride on and trailer for the "first cut". A year ago it would have been get to it Catweazle but the odd bike ride I have been going out with him yielded a reward where he said head off for an hour. So 1.15 minutes later I arrived back - I would say it was the worst the grass ever was, so long it was still wet and clogging up the rotors........... 2 bloody trailer loads, took just over 4 hours with two lawnmowers on the go.0 -
Sunday Afternoon: Another poor cycling day, with the wives morning run and a family trip to Knockma I had pencilled a bike around lunchtime. However the brother in law unexpectedly arrives over with the ride on and trailer for the "first cut". A year ago it would have been get to it Catweazle but the odd bike ride I have been going out with him yielded a reward where he said head off for an hour. So 1.15 minutes later I arrived back - I would say it was the worst the grass ever was, so long it was still wet and clogging up the rotors........... 2 bloody trailer loads, took just over 4 hours with two lawnmowers on the go. I would have been screwed with just my own push mower. Average pace 27.1kph
Lawn mower or bike? 0 -

Tuesday AM: Another swim set - 4 x 216 off 4.30 and 6 x 108 off 2.15 was the main section, again found the 216's very tough towards the end of each set but muscled my way through 2400m
Thursday AM: 16 x 108 off 2.15 was the main set here, was too fast on the first couple coming in at mid 1.40's, the next few were a little slower but really struggling as I paid the price, the last 8 sets or so I found a slightly slower rhythm coming in at 2 minutes on the button which seemed much more maintainable. I will be looking at off 2.10 soon hopefully. Another good session. 2600m
Friday AM:[/B] I decided to chance going down to 4.15 for the 216's as there was only 3 of them. SO 2 x 396 off 8.30 both in on 7.2x, 3 x 216 off 4.15 in around 3.55-4.00 and 6 x 108 off 2.15 in around 2.00 - 2300m
Reading your swim sessions hurts my head I'm trying to do conversions from 108m pace to 100m pace. 0 -
Up yours Mrs C...... 10k @ 4.43 pace AHR - 150
nothing like a bit of competition from your better half for motivation.. mrs woody is now doing club swims and even though shes in a faster lane i find myself putting a bit more effort in.. did a turbo session together last night and there was a lot more effort put in than the ones ive been doing on my own.. oh crap shes working way harder than me.. cant have that.. by the end we were both wrecked
When the little one was in hospital as she was so early - everyone even my own family commented that she was a little fighter like her mother, shes as tough as her mother, she has her mothers determination and strength etc etc. Not a single mention of me....its not only ye boardies that think I am a useless bastard

With 6 turns as well every 108 meters it makes it even more complicated, probably works out around the same - I would expect it would be certainly far easier than a 50 metre pool0 -

Yyyeeeaaaahhhhh!!!!!
And nicely done on that run. I did a little "steady" effort on Wednesday. 155 hr yielded a cracking 4:59 per km pace. You're miles ahead of me on that front!!0 -
Rattled by the wife stealing my Garmin and me seeing figures of 13k and 5.30 pace when she handed it back over with only a few weeks of running after 2 years of a break, i decided to increase my run to 10k and keep a good pace.
Must be the fancy new runners. :cool:
I did tell you I could make you faster 0 -

Rumour has it this came back to bite you in the ass over the weekend:D
CWI'm going out for a cycle
Mrs CWI don't think so. Up yours pal!!
:eek::D:p
Yourself and Gibbo are like two women gossiping :rolleyes:
Saturday Afternoon: The theme of a good training week continued, 18k at 5.01 pace AHR 147. The first 2k was at 4.45 pace and I thought the Garmin would correct itself but in the end of it all yes I was moving very well and had to rein it back a little. Felt very strong throughout this.
Sunday AM: As young Eugene has already alluded to......Disaster strikes - the plan was a bike over to see the start of the Tri Lakes duathlon and then another hour or so around that area and then back home again.
However having been away at stags for the last two years for mothers day I was "encouraged" to consider perhaps spending some family time and placing a higher "importance" on spoiling herself on that momentous day. So needless to say bike was cancelled
Now how spending 3/4 hours out cleaning the shed qualifies as family time I dont know but I do have a nice clean shed now.
The upshot at least was that a concrete plan for the Sunday cycle has now been agreed where as long as I am present and accounted for by 11.30am from now on I can do what I want. The disadvantage is its much harder for me to make excuses to dodge Gibbo now.
So a poor Sunday but was happy with how the rest of the week went0 -

I seem to have developed a pattern now where, every year, I look out at the lawn and think to myself that May will come soon enough. Then, long before any changing of clocks or indeed any semblance of warm weather, catweazle pops up on boards talking about cutting the grass. From that point on, my spring is ruined. I can no longer look out dismissively at the lawn as I can now see it growing right in front of my eyes.
Just so that I can have a less guilt-ridden run into summer, will you please refrain from mentioning anything about grass cutting on this log for 2015?
By the way, when I went out to the shed to have a look at the lawnmower, I noticed that the pull cord has come off and the whole thing is in bad need of a service. If you were to provide lawn-cutting services, I would be very interested!:)
I would feel almost obliged to provide lawn cutting services to you - your fingers are your livelihood - I shudder to think about the potential for grass stains to sully your quill and parchment.
However I must pass on this - I feel the topography of Carroroe would call for a Strimmer to deal with the rocks and Marrem Grass.
I will mention you to the brother in law though0 -
I really hate missing a late week update as my birdbrain completely forgets what I have done - not for me ledgers or excel sheets of training details
Monday AM and Lunch: Trying to catch up with no cycling yesterday I schedule two 50 minute sessions in
Monday Night: I hate swimming after missing 3 or 4 days so a quick dip to get me on track for tomorrow
Tuesday AM: Both human alarm clocks slept in today so only 1000ms straight
Tuesday Lunch: The wife had the juice in the Garmin used up so no idea of pace, probably around the 5 minute kilometre mark
Wednesday AM: Back to the plan, main set was 3 x 400 off 8.30 which wasn't too bad
Wednesday Lunch: 50 minutes on the turbo
Thursday: I was supposed to be going to Belfast but got put back early doors so missed the morning swim. The run at lunch involved me heading off with a new trance album, I only knew one or two songs on it and the rest was way too fast techno for me, however the fast tempo did my run no harm. Started out hard first 3k at low 4.20 pace, backed off for four k as I started to feel the burn and then pushed hard for the last 3 when I felt a little recovered. 10k @ 4.36 pace, no idea of heart rate as I forgot the strap but would guess it was in the 170's for the last 3k. Surprisingly I am beginning to enjoy the thursday runs
Friday: Headed to the pool more for a quick shave befoe heading to some meetings in Dublin, think it was 600ms
Saturday: I had planned to cut back a little after 17 and 18k runs the last few weekends. The plan was 15 but I wasn't enjoying it and felt tired from the start, probably the remnants from the fast thursday run. I was going past the house at 13k so I left it at that. 13k at 5.05 pace 149 AHR
Sunday: A few emails passed between the Galway lads but getting up for a 6am start to get over to Clarinbridge for 7 was quickly forgotten about when I saw the rotten weather. It turned out to be alright mid to late afternoon but very windy - however I had my turbo session well over with at that stage. 2 hours 20 minutes on the turbo. I dont like these sunday early doors session - I am caught for too many sunday jobs being around the house all day0 -
