A blog dedicated to my gorgeous twin boys, my stunning wife and my sport of triathlon.
A thought - "If God invented marathons to keep people from doing anything more stupid, then the Ironman must have taken Him by surprise and Marathon Des Sables must have completely dumbfounded Him"
From the Ironman running rules "1. No form of locomotion other than running, walking OR CRAWLING is allowed"

Challenging they said - madness more like!
Check out the bike course profile for next week's ITU Long Course World Championships in Germany. 2000m of climbing over just 130km. Madness!!! And I'm supposed to run a fast 30km after that - (I'm already in denial over the 4km swim that precedes it).

Have a blast of a race Simon! Engines all well tuned and purring like a lion. Race strong and safe at ITU LD World Champs!

Thanks Paul - I'm gonna do my best.
ReplyDeleteGood luck Simon , it appears from your performance in PD ( I saw the results ) that you are in excellent shape and in peak condition. Congrats on getting there and hope you race past your potential !

Thanks Terry - not in peak condition actually but enough shape to bluff through PD. Long course and hills here will likely expose my current weight and lack of endurance running due to my calf tear.
ReplyDeleteThat said,it's for Queen and Country so a bit of Dunkirk spirit will no doubt help me pull off a surprise if there's a surprise somewhere in me.
