Hi Green&Red
I am originally from Galway - from the city. I'm from Castle Park but spent most of my teenage years in Bohermore. I now live a few miles north of Claregalway.Are you originally from Galway? Where?
Hurling every time for me. That said I've been to plenty of Galway football matches around the country. I never played either as when I was growing up soccer was more popular than GAA in Galway City.Football or hurling, although the answer to above may answer that
LOL.....Fair pointCycling - TT or hill climbing, and less of this poor me in Galway, the corkscrew is only a warmup away and the Shanaphesteen isnt that far away either!
I love hill climbing. There are some cracking routes around Cong, Lough na Fooey and the likes, that I used to do but since the little lad arrived my long hours on the bike have been curtailed. The TT leagues are good fun also and I love the idea of having a rabbit set off a minute ahead of me. I'll say TT
I ran 100m as a kid in national school. As part of our winter rowing training there was always at least 2 or 3 runs a week. I started back running around 10 years ago after 11 years of no running.Have you always ran? Whats your 5k & 10k pb?
My 5k is 18:11 or the like but I've ran faster off the bike in Sprint races. I haven't ran a 5k in 3 or 4 years.
My 10k is 39:59 and is 5 years old from the only 10k I've ever ran. I ran 37:42 in DCT this year but not sure how accurate that course is.
Hmmm, not sure on that. I do a lot of cooking as my OH has a big commute. I'll ask her and let you knowWhats the best meal you can cook yourself?
I'm in software development. I enjoy it when I'm actually developing but there are times and other aspects that I don't always enjoy.What do you work at and do you enjoy it?0 -
Hello again, P.
When it comes to racing, do you think you are tougher mentally or physically?
Which of the three disciplines do you allow yoursefl to suffer the most when training?
Do you ever talk trash to your fellow competitor while raciing?
Do you have a secret weapon when you race?
If you had to be known as one of the three, which would you rather be known as - a swimmer, a cyclst, or a runner? And why?
If you and catweazle were to go head to head in the locally sponsored Gardener's Club annual lawn care contest where you, as the owner, had to create your own landscape design, install that design, then tend to all aspects of that design including the lawn itself...what would each "creation" look like, how would each be looking at the end of the summer, and which one of you would win the contest and be the recipient of a year's worth of free lawn care?
If i hopped in your car with you right now, what would be playing on your radio?
Have you ever painted your toenails? If so, what color?
I assume you are quite familiar with lots of animated, Disney-like characters since you have a little one....so, which animated character would best represent who you are, and why?
Do you dance like nobody's watching?0 -
Hey Dory,
I believe mentally. Any time I've had to dig deep and the body said no I have always come through and kicked onWhen it comes to racing, do you think you are tougher mentally or physically?
Tough call between the bike and the run but I'd say the bike. I do push hard on the run but not as often as on the bike. I don't tend to do as many work intervals on the run as I do the bikeWhich of the three disciplines do you allow yoursefl to suffer the most when training?
Nope. I'm not good enough to be at that craic. I have done in other sports but not triathlon.Do you ever talk trash to your fellow competitor while raciing?
I guess when things get tough thinking of Finn helps me push through rather than quitting - more so if he's at the race.Do you have a secret weapon when you race?
Tough call. I think a swimmer. I just loving watching swimming when it's done properly. It's like poetry in motion when done right.If you had to be known as one of the three, which would you rather be known as - a swimmer, a cyclst, or a runner? And why?
You were going well until the part in bold. Given that we'd be maintaining it even after the year was up I think it would be the KISS principle.If you and catweazle were to go head to head in the locally sponsored Gardener's Club annual lawn care contest where you, as the owner, had to create your own landscape design, install that design, then tend to all aspects of that design including the lawn itself...what would each "creation" look like, how would each be looking at the end of the summer, and which one of you would win the contest and be the recipient of a year's worth of free lawn care? That coupled with the fact that I'm not the designer in our house would mean that my design would be very straightforward. I think he's secretly very proud of his lawn, he talks about it enough, so I'd say he'd win that one :pac:
If you were to listen to the radio then it would be Today FM. If you went looking for a CD it would be one of these few: Radiohead, Happy Mondays, The Waterboys, Fred, REM, U2, Pink Floyd, Beck, Smashing Pumpkins, Springsteen, The Doors, AC/DC or some 90s dance music. There could be a Tiesto CD there also.If i hopped in your car with you right now, what would be playing on your radio?
Nope. If I add to it would be red or electric blue :pac:Have you ever painted your toenails? If so, what color?
I actually am not that familiar with them. I'd imagine I will be soon but not hugely so at the moment. Finn isn't a big TV fan. He rarely sits still long enough. He watches Fireman Sam, Q Pooties and Postman Pat. Out of those I'd say Norman Price from Sam would be closest to the mark. I was always in bother a kid.I assume you are quite familiar with lots of animated, Disney-like characters since you have a little one....so, which animated character would best represent who you are, and why?
When you dance as badly as I do (picture Will dancing in the Inbetweeners Movie) you have to dance like nobody is watching.Do you dance like nobody's watching?0 -

I would lose Dory - my dream garden would be along the lines of this
