I have decided family names are the way to go, hence I also like George and even Socrates (we're Greek). That is a cool name! But if it's inevitably shortened to Sock, it may cause a slight lack of the coolness. Still, I would.

Oh yeah...Rofster...cheers for that spot on bike route synopsis.......i printed it off the day before the event and read it just before shut eye on friday night.

It described the bike route to perfection!

Nice one....it helped considerably!

Always a pleasure

I was the big oaf standing around in a blue cycling jacket all morning, freezing and looking rather glum. felt freezing and should have gone home for a bath but attempted going road racing and failed dismally

Mrs R was 9th female overall in her first Duathlon. She had chain off twice on the bike which cost her about 5 minutes and she was 5 and 5.5 minutes off 3rd and 4th in her AG. Tough luck

Was fun, I almost wished I bought my trainers when I turned up, but not for long

Freeview + was defined as having two tuners, but when one is only useable at a time its kind of pointless..... our old dual tuner one lasted 3 years and they seem pretty impossible to find without getting fleeced. When it starts recording, it cannot play for 20 seconds so cuts you off in 'mid viewing', there is no way to set start early/finish late on recording. Its a dreadful piece of crap and if it was still in its 30 days period I'd take it back and pay them to take it. Its the only piece of electronics I've got badly wrong.

My only hope is that the TV blows up, and I can get another one at the same time. the 36" TV is currently 9 years old and is showing no signs of going wrong.

As with anything you hate, it'll last forever.

Well if you can record one channel while watching another then technically it's doing it's job, but we don't need that functionality as we have a freeview TV.

One of the few things we found that could record 2 programmes at once was THIS but as it doesn't have DVD recording capability, it didnt fit the wole criteria. Also It doesnt say whether it upscales or not, which was something we wanted.

OK, getting there. Back up to the end of last month, reconciled VAT, changed vat codes and started again. At the moment I owe them nothing and they owe me nothing as no money has entered of left the account. Going to be a boring VAT return!

I got a pair a while ago from JJB or JB or whatever name it is. Go to those city centre shops where they sell sports goods to people that don't do sports and eventually you will get them on offer.

Ebay could be a good bet too.

I've tried on the track before and im less than 300m
That was when i was in 18.30 km fitness. shocking
Try it on a treadmill, it means your speed needs to be around 20k/ph. Most treadmills don't go that fast

I double run a couple of times a week to work and back (8miles each way)
My understanding and feel is that although you get a big chunk of the muscular fatigue that you'd get in 1x16miles, your joints get a good rest to drop out any inflamation etc. Also you're refueling carbs etc. In the bigger phases of the training cycle, then I'll do my longer run of around 12-14 on the way home to really pick the days miles up.
I think quite a few of the long distance pros have adopted double run days in recent years, I know macca is a big fan
depends what works for you I guess, but i've certainly found it to be very beneficial for long distance race training
good luck

Evening all,

Certainly go along with the Fenix for a front light. not being a big light fan what are those bad boys for the rear SJB?

Not really worth a mention or a wave but went over to mid-Wales for the Rhayader 20 today. Not a good day really, very up and down which made it difficult to get a consistent pace going, annoyingly 16 secs off a PB although that was set at Ashby which is a little bit friendlier!

Tomorrow I shall mainly be doing sod all!

Have fun those who are out there

Just looking into it now, sure I can sort things out, haven't had that many transactions this month, I could restore a previous back up, reconcile, set to cash account then pick up from there... I guess.

as an Irishman while I'm gutted we lost we just didn't turn up to play. The better team won on the day and there is no way Scotland deserved the wooden spoon.

Next years 6 nations could be interesting as will the world cup.

Bring it on!

Right let's apply some maths to make this even more depressing!

2:56/km = 14:40/5k To think that 20min is a pretty decent 5k time & you get to stop at the end!

I knocked out some sub-threshold 1k reps this week @ 3:45/k (18:45 pace)

Best 800's session in recent memory was 8 x 800m in 2:42-2:45 off 90 sec rest, not quite in that form yet, but approaching it so I'd like to think (hope) I'd get close to 1k before keeling over & dying.

Probably the most sobering thought is that an elite female is still around 2mins for 800m that's 2:30/km if they could keep it going for another 200, just for 1 of them not 42 (and that's on a track in spikes, not on the road)
