You know that moment when you think how could I have been so stupid part 2?

Best of luck. You'll be alright; you must be pretty bloody fit by now.

And he is far, far too stubborn to quit

Good Luck you nutjob.

[MarillionFan]

Because he can.

I can drink 15 pints of Stella and then take on the bouncers of the local nightclub knowing that I'm invincible but I don't do that every weekend. I sometimes think its best to know that you can.

You see, the question is a bit difficult to answer; athletes don't ask themselves why they cycle and run stupid distances or run very fast or smash into other people trying to carry a ball; they just get on with it and do it. When they start asking themselves why, they're generally coming to the end of their sporting career (or about to start another) and the doubts are creeping in. I realised I didn't enjoy playing rugby any more, I just enjoyed being good at something and as I got older although my mind and techniques got better, I couldn't become a better player as the younger guys were bigger, faster and fitter while I was getting injured every few weeks and had a couple of chronic injuries that will never go away. So I've switched to cycling, I enjoy it and I'm getting better and better at it. I don't know why I enjoy it; I just get on with it.

Bonkers, but good luck Brillo.

Though of course my immediate aim is to beat Dallas at Midnight(wo)man.

I presume you're doing the full distance? Let me know what it's like, I'm chalking up my 1st half iron this year, with the aim of doing a full iron next year, and am looking for possible events. As for the double....

One question.

Why?

I am doing the double. I have done 2 singles so far with another in 5.5 weeks. Today I did a half iron man as a training day......

I can drink 15 fl ozs of weak shandy and then take on the bouncers of the local nightclub at tiddlywinks knowing that I'm invincible but I don't do that every weekend. I sometimes think its best to know that you can. And if I can't I can cry about it.

FTFY

Since you didn't turn up for Slateman I am expecting your support. Or at least you can share a G+T with Mrs BP once she gets down Snowden at 9am threatening to cut my nuts off. Which I know will be a lie as she cut them off years ago.
