I'm guessing Dory Dory is a 25-30k a week swimmer when up and running then?
If so then 160k to claw back... So mid July maybe?
Second week of July I'll go with..
Oh and Dory Dory, none of this 1 yard = 1 metre American nonsense ok??
Hey DD.
Have you been slacking or what??
I had been expecting to get lapped in the pool by now but you must be in another lane caught in traffic or something :pac:
Is the whole conversion thing just not working out? 0 -

Hi Fazz!
So sweet of you to check in on me. Yep, been a little busy with spa days and my bridge club and getting lost on the interstate all the time(fecking ejit hasn't even been reading my log 
) that I've little time for training. But, boy howdy have you been rolling like a freight train racking up the laps (which begs the question, is he really that bad of a swimmer to need this much practice? ;)) which is so awesome for you. I haven't logged in my massive Irish Sea swim I did with Interested yet - still working out the math actually.....but if you're as good with addition and subtraction as you are in the water, then perhaps you'll help a conversion-damsel-in-distress (my arse! ;);)) with some creative calculating. 0 -

I'm afraid yes I need every length and every session of my current swim volume!
I'm less than 2 years doing front crawl and it's actually only 3 swims a week plus the odd race/ow so doesn't feel too much.
Learning more each week and feel progress so certainly won't tail off until races are over.
Only really got a few more weeks of it though so once you log your irish swim and get out of the spa's you'll have no bother
I'll give you another 8 weeks to climb the rankings before checking back in so 0 -

Challenge ranking now updated folks, sorry for delaying so long. Izoard you are up to 9th... not all bad Chief
My cunning plan to sneak up on a few post-(H)IM victims, is not really paying off...I was hoping the likes of Oryx and catweazle would disappear for a couple of months - too much enthusiasm if you ask me...
If it wasn't for you pesky kids.....:)0 -

So I can't put mine back in at the end of the year then? :pac: I'd still be top 10 at last check.0 -

+1 - CW and myself were enjoying an Oryx/Dory sandwich and now Gibbo appears from nowhere to spoil the party:)RacoonQueen wrote: »So I can't put mine back in at the end of the year then? :pac: I'd still be top 10 at last check.
I'd say a few of the top boys will need to be mindful of your mega update on 31/12....0 -

Forgot about that! Not fair
I still reckon half of them must be swimming to work. Will need a 'Commute' coloum for next season.
I even stopped putting the lawn mowing down as 'other' exercise. Although in fairness the grass hasn't been cut since July.0 -

Every 2 :eek:
How are you getting away with that, I would be divorced if it went longer than a week, sometimes i long for my tiny 2 foot x 2 foot garden when I lived in the town, used to be able to do it with a flymo and one bag fill.
I have a very large lawn - about an acre. I pay a nice man €25 a time to cut my entire lawn and strim all the edges every couple of weeks in the summer. In the long run it saves grief from the wife (if the lawn is overgrown it's his fault not mine) and at a couple of hundred euros a year it's a lot feckin cheaper than buying a ride on mower. 0 -

+1 what Oryx said. Hill running is the most fun I had last winter and intend to do more of it this winter. I'm also going to largely ditch the turbo for some mountain biking, its tough enough to still benefit tri but infinitely more fun.
Embrace mud and have fun 0 -

After the weekends cycling I won't be back on the bike for a proper long spin until February. So you can get a mighty head start there.0 -
Since 2013 SBR has been mentioned already I will unsticky this in a few weeks to get chat rolling about the 2013 SBR format.
Lots of targets rolling in the last 2 weeks, great stuff folks! A lot more green and golds on the board this year than the last 2 years 0 -
Can anyone catch JB? Does Fazz have some run miles to log to make it a tight run in. I think its Zico vs JB. Zico, if the swimming is kept up after Phuket.
Got to hand it to the hoochies, really mixing it up. Just wonder if DD can close the gap on RQ :pac:
Thread unstickied. Last 5 weeks to get the kms in. Log them before 31.12.12 00:00 as anything logged after that for 2012 won't count. I've been harsh the last 2 challenges and will be again this year
We could incorporate the confession box into the 2013 challenge? Log the crap calories you consume. Negative metric muffin man column :pac: so you may log the most SBR kms but the ill discipline in the kitchen will put olive oil on the ladder rungs! Ha, an uber healthy newbie doing a first sprint tri could do quite well
Any other fun metrics we could log ?! Just how geeky can this get?!!!0 -
