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 -
Was anybody more abusive than the day to day dealings with Ryanair ?
If so you get my total sympathy.0 -

Yes.
Lufthanasa ground staff in Dublin (German). ("you flight is cancelled? What do you want me to do - bring you myself? get over it and move on you will get there tomorrow" - said to woman standing next to me - had a group of 27 children with her and a connecting flight in Frankfurt to catch)
Avis staff in Frankfurt (German) after arriving late but having had the dublin office ring them to advise them we would be late.
"You are late, your car is gone, you cannot have another one and you cannot have your money back" then she walked away from us.

Thought I'd have a better time but thems the breaks. It was my first one so didn't really know what to expect. Swim (bit long but) and bike went grand, first half of marathon felt easy, second half was a sufferfest, looking back probably pushed the first 5k too hard. Overall I enjoyed the experience and I'm looking forward to the next one. It was nice to meet fella boardsies also!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"

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.

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.

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|No excuses - Just didn't put the work in to deserve any better. That, and cramps suck sweaty ass!
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!

Sorry lads but I am useless with inserting info into these tables. Maybe someone might edit this into the above table for me. Actual time 16:13:47, plans: next time I do 140.6 I will race my own race, not make any new friends on the run and hurry the f*ck up as I now know I can do the distance.0 -
