I had mixed feelings about it i...M, Thanks buddy, <br /><br />I had mixed feelings about it in the end, can't argue with the time or PB but miles away from qualifying - those Aussies are animals.<br /><br />The caffeine tabs are just a tiny part of the equation but one that helps a little and every little is welcome, I'll use them in future but there's a lot more on the training, prep and speed front I need to do.<br /><br />L, Thanks. Goal number 5 is a bit mean but the boy needs a slapping every now and again. Keeps him honest. And can you imagine him drinking beer with flavour and alcohol in it?<br /><br />D, No not the pee, just had that since I was stationary. Stretched my quads and all was good so I had a pee to celebrate haha. Thanks for the comments. I think everyone is looking forward to the BryBaby vs TriTwins smackdown...except BryBaby haha<br /><br />JP, Thanks buddy, as per all the above and yes still lots of room for improvement. As for not qualifying...I didn't qualify by ferkin miles. Bloody overactive Aussies haha.<br /><br />Only take the caffeine when you really really need it. Then it'll work a treat. It's not Charlie though, now that IS something I'd like to try with 10k left in an Ironman.<br /><br />M, Thanks, much appreciated. More to come in Roth<br /><br />P, Thanks buddy, I appreciate it. Don't expect too much from the caffeine but it does help a little when you really need it.Simonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16432165719668908143noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30395094.post-62831832233684201632012-04-03T10:49:03.627+08:002012-04-03T10:49:03.627+08:00Awesome performance Simon!!!Well done!

I figure they'd come in handy for ultra/no-sleep situations. Glad to hear they work! :) I dont drink coffee so they'll probably hit me hard, I feel a hard kick after the odd coffee.<br /><br />Holy crap, glad to hear you're still motivated! After having an amazing race with a mind-blowing time YOU STILL DIDN'T QUALIFY. I'd he pretty frustrated by now but it's clear you have obvious room for improvement so the chances aren't lost on you. Inspiring!<br /><br />5) I can't wait to see you mop the floor with Payne. There's only a few of us in the 'I beat Training Payne club'. After spanking him at Olympic distance I let him have Lake Placid. It's only fair that we have a tie-breaker at Virginia Double-Iron but he hasn't manned up yet. Probably scared he'll lose again. ;) <br /><br />That's cool that Shilpa called you and woke you up! :)JohnPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10946318913789970069noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30395094.post-40619104379574234562012-04-03T02:38:31.177+08:002012-04-03T02:38:31.177+08:00the pee helped your knee ???
