I just registered. I was told enjoy your first Ironman. I laughed, it's my 21st. A cheap local race for me. I almost saw John Hill smile at the fast gear tent.I am heading to Palm Cove for a easy 30 min swim and pay respects to my Father. I threw his ashes in the sea in 2005. He will protect everyone in the swim on Sunday. Is anybody keen for dinner tonight or should I take the hint? 😒

Did you serve your apprenticeship with McDonalds or something. Would you like fries trail shoes with that?

In other football news, the Nigerian national team is so embarrassed by their performance in their 2-1 loss in last weekend's friendly against England that they are offering to reimburse fans for their tickets, travel expenses, etc. All they have to do is send in their banking details and PIN numbers...

We decided about 4 pages back that it was just AP posting under a fake account to drum up business for himself. Given how lame that was, the decision was to just take the thread off topic.

TC has started down the path of gratituitous toe images. Her defence... claiming “socks sells!” 😂

Need to start posing on Instagram on your tippy toes again

Just announced - Ironman cairns extended for 5 years through 2023

Id rather join the church of scientology. They have morals

I thought the vagus anatomy lesson/b@w is a pig was a thread derail but now i feel ive logged into Getaway UK..

It's called 'instagram', Peter 😁

Why don’t you just start a new thread called the customer travels. And post your photos there. You do capture some nice ones

The Scots tell everyone about the ferocious midges and the bad weather to keep the English South of the Wall

I'm heading way up Nth in late summer to Skinnet / Ben Loyal area. Expecting some major run days on these plus hoping to see Northern Lights...

Ran home 7.5km in the rain, felt good! Then saw my new bike box in the bike room! Now I’m all ready for the 6hr mtb race I signed up for next weekend

Sorry... I don't understand fractions

Jealous. Up there with Mark Allen , dave Scott and Peter Reid in my books.

Gave the kid some tips for Sunday.

I'm not used to that. I had the pool to myself for 45 minutes this morning at Samford. And did my repeats in the rain. Kona here we come.

If you ask me that's a huge step in the right direction, and you should both be proud of yourselves. I think you're doing the right thing be not pressuring her to talk, but the fact that she gave you something was probably a huge thing for her.

A little bit of progress with my wife last night. I had my doctors appointment and we did up the care plan, I had to do a test on her computer first and came back with a score of 34/50 which calculates to depression. When i got home i let my wife know what I'm doing and outlined what i had been talking to the doctor about, it was pretty raw, i was emotionless but she was balling. afterwards she opened up on her sessions and how the psych wants to send her to Perth to see someone who specializes in childhood trauma, she is scarred and has a lot of baggage from seeing her father violently abuse her mother. She has never opened up to me about the level of abuse she witnessed, from what she said last night to me, it was horrendous. I didn't ask any questions, she needs to work through it with her doctors because it is affecting her clearly, but also our relationship and the way she parents our kids Anyway we are working in the right direction, A lot of work to do but its a start

yeah we figured that this morning. Not really suitable for bikes.

I know I am talking to those with common sense here....but....... We drove back from Cape Tribulation today. Saw around a dozen riders on the road from Palm Cove to Port D, all around midday to 1pm Please, please, please do not ride this section. Full size trucks, camper vans and caravans of all sizes do not work with bikes on such a narrow and busy road.

OK, so tried this today. 110 is doable but 115 impossible for me, so I guess my 1RM is 110.

If you stump up $5k per month, presumably you would trust this coach (of course, if you get a high net worth spouse, that might just be chump change):
