No, I’ve not been since it became a teen party venue during Lockdown1.0.
Don’t want broken glass on my feet
@Hammerer - Gotta love the power of the internet…dishing out advice left right and centre…”I’ve finished 16 Ironman events, you can do this!..”
Checks results for name…Barcelona…certainly knows how to draft, overbike, then walk

Added benefit of not having the runs though
joex:
Ive just replied to a guy who cannot run , asking whether he should do an Ironman. I’m being polite, but for fucks sake. Get your hip replaced you stupid cunt.
Just caught up with that post as “Dan” I’m tempted to make a reply. So the guy needs a hip replacement. Cant even walk far without agony, been told not to run and still asking whether he should do an Ironman, and was told “you got this” FFS

DanReef just posted Well someone had to
I’d probably listen to the experts on here and ignore the medical people. What do they know. What’s the worst that can happen anyway , long term issues walking, living in constant pain for the rest of your life? still at least you can say I walked an ironman.

“Form” goggles are the latest, FFS learn to swim before evening considering spending time looking at a HUD in a £200 pair of goggles.
I sometimes think I’m the only developer / IT bod in history who is a luddite, but Im not a luddite, I just hate tech for techs sake.

I quite like the idea of HUD goggles, but they cost more than my Swedish pair which were under £3. Then again, to improve my swim literally all I need to do right now is actually go swim a bit. Even 2x a week for 1500m will help from where I am right now.

TBF, I rejoined Facebook simply for my cycling club; as we arrange rides via it (you can still book onto a ride using email/SMS if you wish to!)
So I know about files, topics and announcements on pages/groups through that

We used to use a forum that Jim built. Died a death and it’s all done through various WhatsApp chats now
