    Lets get that party started. I'm undecided what to do and as such won't be racing WTC branded. If I'm going long it will be a Challenge race and the decision won't be for months yet.

    I may as well commit to it no point in me setting soft goals and this will be a huge ask. I will re-evaluate at the end of the year to see if i am making enough progress to warrant a sub 10 attempt.
    A lot of hard work ahead and this saying captures it well,
    “When it is obvious that the goals cannot be reached, don't adjust the goals, adjust the action steps.:)

    The evening before the Ironman Switzerland quest in 2010, a 20+ IM hardened vet said to me "Oh, a first timer? I hope you realise... Once you've done an Ironman, there's no going back". He was right. By the end of this summer, I realised there was nothing to be done except go for it again.

    I know what race I'm doing, just not what I want to achieve in it. I'll commit to a time in another month or so.

    Has to be a sub 10 - as he is counting out the tenners for the Powermeter he will be simultaneously subtracting minutes from his sub 11 time this year :D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,210 ✭✭✭kingQuez


    MCOS has to improve by 8mins and the rest of us have to PB by 1hr+? :eek: you're both off the christmas card list. (btw - I didn't break 11hrs this year, so at the very least that is what I need next time :))

    That won't be hard if you get the 33min 10k form back and go sub 9 :rolleyes: What do you mean doubling up? Doing 2 IMs? Well, thats the plan. Posted in the log.

    Have you tried buying her an expensive gift, a weekend away with the girls or complete all outstanding DIY jobs around the house:) Bribary is a great solution and that power meter is crying out to be used in an IM next year:D

    He could try getting her pregnant again, from reading his report it sounds like it was baby brain that got him this years pass! :)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,208 ✭✭✭shotgunmcos


    Nice gang of Boards IM bound forming for next year :)

    I haven't got approval for Barcelona yet so thats pending and all this talk of Powermeters and 910xts is just turning me green :(

    Present approach - I'm more efficient with my time when I'm training properly. i get MORE done around the house.

    Had an incredulous comment along those lines the last day from O. Maybe she realises she's better off having me busy training so more gets done at home! :D There's a glimmer of light starting to peek through...... :cool:

    Maybe a dumb question, but this IS hunnymonster we are talking about.

    Sub27, does that involve doing it twice?!

    I thought so. Folks, hunnymonster is BACK! :D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,365 ✭✭✭hunnymonster


    back is probably overstating things a little, first post baby marathon took 4:23 (with 45 mintues of that in portapotties - damn kegel exercise neglect!!!) loving being back on the bike though. Haven't really ridden since the broken-nose-IMCH incident :-)

    I did the short distance (1 lap of everything as opposed to 2 for the long) in Abu Dhabi last year, it was great, hot, but a great race, very well run, would love to go again this year but domestic credit all spent.
