TT Smackdown 2025

A sandbag is about how well I’m floating at the moment. Got out of the habit in lockdown and never really got back into it. Managing to make club swim about 1 week in 2 for an hour of slow and splashy, and thats it . Probably 10 secs/ 100m slower than 2 years ago.

Fuck yeah! I’ve swam more in the last 4 weeks than I have in the previous 4 years. Actually think that may be a legitimate stat.

Still shit though!

I don’t need to swim.
Get back in and can still do 1:30/100m :joy::see_no_evil:

Maybe not for 1.9km like !!!

Bloody age.

But if he’s not ‘winning’ then he’ll just walk off course after 1 lap of the run :wink:

Yeah,
Your 30km jog from the other day has driven THE FEAR into me.
And if you passed me on the bike :sob::sob::sob:

Haha. A run in isolation does not maketh a decent triathlon.

I can’t pass on the bike no matter how fast I’m going as I’d be 10 mins behind! You swim 1.30s in your sleep remember :wink:

fear, that should bouy you right up, completely screwing up the training going way too long, no specificity, it’s madness.

Au contraire. Aerobic endurance and then speed endurance on fatigued legs. Great simulation :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

Saw the email from Graham.

Who wants to email him with all our names and ask for sequential numbers?
Also - mass start?

1 Like

Actually it was names, dates of birth and email address used for registering!

Mass start works for me.

Think he wants your mothers maiden name, favourite colour and the name of your first pet, too :fishing_pole_and_fish:

If you’re happy sending me your name, DoB & email I’ll compile a list of mass starters & request that we’re together.

I’ll be emailing Graeme the list on Saturday morning.
