making a comeback
After 2 months of not riding, I decided that, if I'm going to do the
Forster half ironman next weekend I should probably check that my bike still works. So off I went from the southside out to port of brisbane and back (via a cafe). The guys I rode with were way faster but I hung on okay. Only did one lap of the port, which earned me the name Cathy (Freeman, only does one lap), but I did it, all 95km of it. And I even managed to get up and ride into uni today (big commute). I am making a comeback, yay! T |

I am making a comeback, yay! Go for it! I went for my first ride yesterday on an old MTB that I just stripped down and rebuilt. I put my pedals off the road bike on it and went exploring down some of the dirt roads in the area (which I can't do on the road bike). Good fun. I'm setting myself for this one; http://www.hellofthewest.com Ride on! Brad |

I'd like to see that! Nah, too easy. You've been running for the last 2 months though, right? No running would be a major problem (for me - if I was silly enough to enter such a race). hippy |

No, I really AM going to die at Forster-Tuncurry. But I am planning on the bike leg being so painful that the run will be absolute bliss. I will let you know how I go, if I'm capable of typing... T |

Yours will just be a little less organised and perhaps leaning a little towards the extreme that's all. Seriously though, just get out there and have fun, forget about father time. Cheers, Brad |

Triathlon has been described by various people as organised masochism. Yours will just be a little less organised and perhaps leaning a little towards the extreme that's all. I like to think of myself as a sadist rather than a masochist... just that the person I like to hurt happens to be myself! Welcome to it, by the way. At IM OZ a few years ago, one of the winners said "enjoy your pain, you've earned it". Of course I don't know who it was or what year, or even if that really happened, because maybe the person who told me heard it from someone else. Seriously though, just get out there and have fun, forget about father time. Cheers, Brad Yep, when I did Cairns I didn't know whether to wear my watch, and last minute I wore it, because I didn't have anywhere to put it. Then I nearly lost it during the swim... fortunately the water was shallow so I stood up and put it back on! This time I think I'll leave it in my gear bag. T |
