Run - 10 miles

Met up with the boards crew in the park for this and a lovely run. Not going to complain about the shin coz I'm boring myself with it at this stage!

Cycle - An Post Meath Heritage Cycle

First time participating in a cycle event for me so I was looking forward to this. Said I would be sensible and try out the 50km route to get a feel for it as I've never cycled in a group before. Loved it - why wouldn't you when it is perfectly acceptable to stop after a climb up to the hill of tara for a cup of coffee and a muffin
Great organisation and I have already picked out the next sportive. Cleats are brilliant, so glad I swapped over. Oh and my new comfy saddle is the the biz

50km (54km on garmin!) - 2:01 hours

Well done, great weekends activity!!

Ah no shaz Are you still seeing the physio? Hope you get this cleared up. At least you can still get out on the bike, that'll keep you going! Great stuff on Sunday, and your first cycle event

Mind yourself.

LOL- my bro in law has a bike in his shed that needs something (to do with the chain) and new tyres but its a good bike, but he said I could have it, so was going to take it when we get back from hols and get it fixed.
Maybe Shaz is better going over there look what she's doing on us!

Have a read of this thread: Beginner needs advice on cycling forum. Lots of great info over there. I agree with what they say in that spend as much as possible on the bike and bike accessories and get the clothes online (i.e. padded shorts!). Make sure to get a comfy woman's saddle thrown in!
Personally I went for the Ridley Triton and no complaints so far. Text me if you need any more info. You won't regret getting one . I'll leave you alone on the swimming for now...

Don't tell anyone else but i had planned on going back to lessons in the winter, gave up when expecting no3 as couldn't handle the smells of the pool and just haven't managed to get back yet!!!

Thanks Shaz, i'll give that a read...i hear cycling is great for fat burning and running isn't doing that anymore for me(of course thisis nothing to do with crap diet atm);), so I'll have to start the bit of cycling, and theres a dualathon in local football club in oct/nov, i said i'd do it:eek:

Solobally8

Nice bike Shaz!!

I'm loving how your bringing more and more people over to our side

chinguetti

Ah Shaz, don't go. There's less and less logs that i can type stuff on these days:p

Mind how you go.

hollypink

Aw Best of luck - I'll be keeping an eye on the bicycle and drowning/swimming progress

Aimman
