I am abusive to people I know
However in a professional capacity and in just in day to day dealings with people I do not know I will always be polite. "Please, thank you, you are welcome".
I will never abuse someone for absolutely no reason.
There is a reason, I think, that German was a word like "schadenfreude"0 -

I'd argue against this. Saying goal time means that people, myself included, don't have to face their failure and account for the reasons they didn't achieve something that they thought realistic. Goal time could be passed off as "sure that was my dream goal time, my realistic goal time sure I hit that. I'm GRRREEEAT"

Oryx|IM Austria|12.45|14:54:16|It was hot. NWS swim hurt my time a bit, but mostly, I lost it on the run, because I just couldnt run in that heat. And tbh, I did overestimate my ability.
RedB|IM Austria|12.30|15:29:59|Epic Fail. I might try to rationalise that I lost about 2 hours due to non-wetsuit / heat / naivety but I'm still an hour out. Didn't have the depth of training required on all 3 disciplines.
Handangeo|IM Austria|sub10||
Bryangiggsy|IM Frankfurt |10.20|11:05:54|Did not get the volume and intensity required in so as a result was not fit enough.
kingQuez|IM Frankfurt| - |10:53:33|Crap bike handling skills in rain fecked up all the hard work on the turbo over the winter (fear of crashing out), then I left it too late into the run to pick up the pace (for fear of blowing up). Should have been 10-15mins faster but play things too safe.
Tinydave|IM Frankfurt| hope I finish|
Conor20|IM Regensburg|sub12||
Jackyback|Challenge Roth|sub10|DNF|I craped and puked all over myself...then collapsed.
tunney|Challenge Roth|9:49|10:54|Didn't have the willingness to do the work, sub-consciously (or not so much sub-consciously) choose immediate gratification of desires (food drink) over achievement of time, had no willingness to work, to suffer or to train.
shotgunmcos|Challenge Barcelona|9:59|10:45:39|
Jackyback|Challenge Barcelona|TBC|10:33:07|Need to recover lost power on bike, run was pants and overall not a time reflective of where i thought i was at. Still building and weaknesses to overcome.
Abhainn|Challenge Barcelona|10:29||
dx22|Challenge Barcelona|11:59|11:36|1st attempt at IM, swam well, biked better than i though i would, ran well within myself as i didnt know what was going to happen in the last 20K, as ive had never run a marathon before. Equipment and nutrition more or less worked out aok. In the end i was very comfortable and found the distance, dare i say it, way easier than expected
Next time will be aiming for a 10:30 hopefully in roth or IM Austria in 2014. The wife will divorce me if i attempt one next year!
