    i much rather use the rollers over the turbo, requires more concentration and focus as opposed to what i class as mind numbing time on the turbo...the most time ive managed on the turbo before i got bored is about an hour compared to a 2hr interval session on the rollers

    My otherhalf completely vetoed the idea of getting rollers, unfortunately.

    Telling her it'll take up much less space than her clothes do didnt go down well either!

    I tried that, but it was turbo or rollers. Not both.

    My open water swims were at Cummeenole Beach, generally I wait for the windy days for extra spice...

    Seriously- in Wellington, NZ. Just back from Christmas back home and it's high summer here. Currently 23deg, sunny and flat calm (very rare!), so I should be doing more really.

    Don't worry- I'll be the jealous one come May or June!

    The hostess of the party was looking for swimming volunteers, so it would have been rude not to (turns out, I was the only fool to join her...).

    I was naked at some point, attempting to get into my mate's size XS togs, but the missus was on-site as an independent observer and any touching was ruled as "age-appropriate"...:)

    On mature recollection, I think the touching was confined to hanging onto each other, as we tried to clamber over the stones to get out of the water...

    :D Looks like SBR real estate value just went up - dpop is in the house! You'll look smashing in the designer "Challenge" tri suit Shotgun is providing to all of us for participating in this year long contest. I wonder if any of those tractors are still available from your Santa run? I'm thinking photo op!

    So you're the reason I dropped down the run rank in the SBR! God damn it!

    Forget the turbo. Rollers is where it's at!

    I have to say, (having never really studied it before), the SBR challenge is an infectious stroke of genius. I had no real intention of logging bikes, but if it will buy a few places... kudos MCOS!

    633km on the turbo. Christ Fazz. You must have some boredom threshold.

    Says herself who's ran the equivalent of 5 marathons in 3 and a half weeks!
    Have you ran all of Dublin at this stage or repeat the same routes ;)
    I am jokin as I like running outdoors too.

    Seriously, I don't get the boredom comments at all.
    The turbo is absolutely brilliant and I get some of my best quality workouts on it.
    I absolutely love it.
    I even have 2 at present :) one that measures power (just renting to trial it) and one that's a bit quieter and more user friendly - no warm up/easier set up and better for early am turbo sessions as I'm in an apartment.

    Can't beat the turbo for pure quality, efficiency and getting the work done as planned. Music to choice and away I go.
    Or a bit of tv if just an easy zone session.

    Tonight's session? Turbo :):D

    I walked into the kitchen after my treadmill run last night, not in a happy state, and both my oh and my son looked and went 'oh, god....' :D

    I'm neck and neck with you Warren with 70 SBR points! Hoping to get a bit of a cycle in this weekend and maybe a swim. Running goes without saying!

    I know it's only January but I find this incredibly motivating.

    Wait until the last week in December, when your only a decent swim session away from moving up a place. You'll find a pool open on new years eve somewhere!
