Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

Well, the rugby dilemma is solved - he's gone already.

Now, do I put him in the freezer until Monday, or just in Sam's office? Will he start to smell that quickly? It's quite warm here during the day.

PDP.

I have rugbied. All but about 10 minutes of the second half.
Our opposition were much bigger (their one prop must have weighed in about the same as our entire front row combined) and more experienced (two ex Dutch national team players who are retired from top level rugby and now just play for shiggles), but at least in the first half we held them off surprisingly well.

One of their flankers really took a shine to my neck, and she was hella lucky, to my mind, not to get carded for it. Only one of her high tackles was genuinely unpleasant, but it's the principle of the thing.

I have SUPathloned. Because 2 sports are not enough, I threw in a brief swim in the middle 🤣 much fun. And then cycled round the old golf course with Dog to find out that his bicycle aversion is possibly due to scary humans moving quickly rather than the bicycle itself cos we had a lovely time zooming about, when it's me on the bike.

I have Bolton 70.3’d. Swim and run solid but underpowered to be a factor at the pointy end of my AG on the bike.

5:17 - 33/2:55/1:38.

Bike rough roads lots of sharp ascents/descents - not my kind of riding at all.

Overall 92nd but only 10th M50-54, which was super stacked today. I would have been higher in either M40 or M45. Gave it my best, so all good. A nice reality check on what is required to really get amongst it in IM racing.

Time for pizza, donuts and downtime😀😀😀

TRO - well done. Enjoy!

As I am doing IMUK next year I'll be really keen to hear more about the bike at some point (type of bike, technique for balancing power/effort, specificity in training) or anything else you can offer.
