Top stuff Stevo already messaged you more so can't say more
Gotta go and see my boss about the air con. Whilst reading all these reports there seems to have been an influx of dust that keeps getting in my eyes!

Well done - quite a day for you. Your team beat your local rivals and go top of the league and you beat you TT rival and become an Ironman.
Sounds like you were in a bit of a bad way after the race so hope you recover well.
Nice report too.

Brilliant stuff. Congratulations - I've enjoyed reading the journey almost as much as you have been living it

Well done Slacko!
Feel really guilty, I saw you at the jacuzzi, don't remember what I was wibbleing about, but never realised you were in trouble, you looked OK to me you were just concerned about Mrs S.
I hope you have both recovered well, and hope you didn't mind being approached by a weirdo stalker every 5 minutes! I think reading all your blogs/comments made me feel I knew you pretty well even though you always looked at me like "Who the hell are you?" !!
I'm very proud to have joined the IM club with the current 'newbie' TriTalk IM peeps, you are definately one of the personalities that have made my journey complete...
Fantastic effort and great report Slacko, a compulsive and moving read, especially the bit about the card.

Thanks for all the messages. I'll respond in more detail at some stage, but we're on a timer in an internet bar on the Costa Blanca at the moment! The weather is goooorrrrrrgeeeous!
Quick update: I can finally walk without it looking like I've got a pickle stuck up my rectum!
Also, my brain is doing their trick into forgetting the horrible bits and remembering the good parts and I can't wait to get back into training for Austria!
