Evidently not!

Does this mean we have to stop calling each other names and posting weird pictures in all the other threads?

Nice.

Calella - the do's and don'ts


- Do try and go on a crawl of the bakeries ... think pubs in Kilkenny, they are EVERYWHERE
- Do rub your eyes as a 'german' band parade (in traditional dress) through the streets to their Oktoberfest style tent on the beach.
- Do (if time permits) go drink coffee and watch the locals socialise and watch the footie together in the coffee shop / bakery (again with the bakeries)

Don't get stressed about triathlons. Ever. There's always a bigger dog and life's just too short.

NO. JB's psychologist says that forcing him to confront his dwarfism is the one way he can accept it.

At least i do not pretend to be 5ft 10 when in reality i am shorter than that. Since when does 5ft 7 be considered small, in fact i suppose logic does not come into it when ripping the piss:) People probably think i am 4ft 6 and you are 20stone by what is said on here:)

At least my missus does not think i am fat!! Here is Tunney getting his groove on

Thought that there was two new faces at the session alright.
Which one were you? The cranky one who couldn't swim or the other guy who couldn't swim?

There is a similarity alright, i think it could be the eyes or perhaps the roundness of torso.

When the likeness between a character and someone is made by that person and is then even they use it as their avatar its not really as insulting as if you had thought of it yourself.

I think Oryx, Catweazle and I plan to hang onto JB's 3:30 pacing group until the 2 of them blow up around St Stephen's Green . There is a few others also here who mentioned it but I'll let them out themselves in case the ModFather shuts down any running event related threads:)

Sweet, thats my own target group this year. I presume JB is not actually pacing the run

I'm bringing roller skates so the 'hanging on' should be easier. And as we go up o'connell street Im going to point out to red that his car is being towed away.....

Why not? For all my abuse of the vertically challenged man he is easily a 2:55 runner when healthy.

Well, he says he's going to be one of the nice people with ballons so far be it from me to doubt his credentials

There might be a good few Tri-heads knocking about then. Will you be in 'that' Tri-Club gear? :eek::D

I stand corrected. They're not called ASSumptions for nothing. Sorry JB.

I will let you away with it this time Looking forward to the pacing gig, I really enjoyed it last year and the fact i am coaching 40 from the club it should be a great day out.
Are you doing it? Any targets in mind?

I'm registered and training to hit a 3.30.

Only issue I have is being on my feet for two solid days before the event at the expo. This year I'll be wearing recovery tights beforehand at the expo & tapering properly.
