Oh, but the challenge is so much fun! Cough, cough... And, at the urging of one participant (thank you RQ), shotgun has promised uber-cool tri suits to all participants, amazing prizes to the winners of each category, and cash for each referral made. PLUS, rumor has it there will be a red carpet year end bash at the conclusion of this challenge at shotgun's new digs. Don't forget to mention my name when you sign up.
Just quoting this SBR Challenge hard sell from Dory's log when she was convincing me to sign-up for the it.
Just wanted to ensure she got her cash referral and I get my uber-cool tri suit

Have to say am enjoying this Google Doc spreadsheet. Absolutely no point in lying as it will catch up with you come race season. Looking forward to see the numbers i post over the next 6 months before Frankfurt and bitch slapping myself for not getting enough done. Also wondering how the top boys at the mo (shotgun & hoyte) get so much time to ride their bikes??!!!! eg Turbo trainer in work perhaps. Jealous.com 0

Unless, like myself, you're still crap no matter how much quality training you do.

There's a person in our club who always complains they havent trained in ages, when I know for a fact they're on 13 hour weeks right now. Why do people do that, is it an irish thing?bryangiggsy wrote: »

Ok going to try this again guys started this last year but gave up updating around July. Ended up doing 3970k on the bike and had a bit more swimming and running done. Meant to update before the end of the year but I never got around to it. If I'd known I was just of the gold before I totted up my miles I would have made sure I did that 30k
Started last year with the notion of trying a few triathlons but turned into a cyclist instead, knees gave me bother running and just didn't fit in the swimming. Started racing in my cycling clubs inter club league and really enjoyed that. Goal for this year is trying to place now in the league instead of just trying to get around with the bunch and hopefully try some A4 or A3 open racing.
Going to try and do a tri if I can get my knees sorted and string a few weeks together in the pool but it really depending on it fitting in with the cycling.0 -

Nah, I was the one who genuinely didn't study and still came out with an A. Now I do all the training and still come out with a N.G
And doing crap? Methinks the racoon doth protest too much.
Not doing too badly but getting faster is the hardest part of training and the slowest to come. I'm still going to be slow even if I average 8k/130k/95k every week for a year. 0 -

Ah, but what you conveniently omitted from that quote of mine was the fact that today is a total rest day for me.....so.....come tomorrow morning I will be playing catchup big time. No worries lads and lasses, I will be happy if I can just stay in the hunt....which is hard to do based on the talent of this entire group.

Go on the Pink Ladies.
RQ, DD, Oryz and StR are doing brilliantly - keep it up women. Bally8 and myself are mixing it with those lower down in the table coz we want to give ye blokes a chance of not being totally chicked across the board:D 0 -

So, I got some kms done on my new Tacx Flow yesterday evening.
A good bit different to road cycling - no sense of going somewhere, the road not rolloing by, sweating like I don't know what, and not being able to snot rocket
I think I'm going to have to Learn to love it!
Also, I don't know what Tunney was on about re the high wattage - Mine was nowhere near those posted on the other thread?0 -
I can just imagine what he will say....HTFU and push a harder gear, probably.:pSo, I got some kms done on my new Tacx Flow yesterday evening.

And on another note, I just want to say ye're all warped you know. This challenge is insane this year!0 -

Yea, I went dangerously close at one stage, stopping just as I realised I was actually indoors.:pDukeOfDromada wrote: »Hi All, just throwing my name in the list. Meant to do lots of running last year but injury got in the way and I ended up doing lots of cycles instead. Managed 1,864km on the road bike and 449km running. Never done a tri but thinking of a sprint in the summer. Hopefully this will motivate me to get into the pool a lot more.
Welcome on board DOD! Pleanty to aim for you this season by the sounds of it, happy training.0 -
Fianlly got some cycling in this week, not much but a 40km and a 15 km, will need to step that up so much over the next few weeks to even think of doing a HIM in July, swimming is getting stronger again after a break in december and running going very well, onwards and upwards 0

2 out of the next 3 weeks are going to be a bit of a write off for me so I'm enjoying being in the top 10 whilst I am. No way to put down ski km's as a cardio workout unfortunately
"Challenge Status" sheet of the Table was fecked. Hopefully I've fixed it /fingers crossed.0 -
