    Spotted a bald (I think) lad wearing a boards outfit at the Kenmare feeding point on the ROK.

    Driving home from Ballinastoe caught a glimpse of a Boardsie heading towards Enniskerry just passed the Esso station. Did a double take as I finally got to see the famous jersey!

    I know of at least one other Boardsie working in there.

    As far as I know, there's at least 3 of us in there.

    No hands, Pheonix park, Sunday, in the wrong cycle lane yup sounds like me alright. Only saw one other cyclist in the park that day. 40-ish year old man on a trek but with a name like caroline_ie i doubt that was you.

    No hands was to straighten out my back (need to sort out my nerd posture)

    Live to cycle. Cycle to live. mm hmmmm

    Unshaven legs + short shorts = totally deserved ban

    blorg was in the final Dublin City Duathlon last night - 5k run, 20k cycle, 2.5k run. I didn't see whether he had the sandals on - there was a guy who did the first run (5k) in his bare feet!

    blorg - how did you get on? 1hr9m15s for me.

    Was he wearing the boards jersey? Think I caught a glimpse but being a noob no approach was made on my part!

    Did it in 1:12:30 which I was delighted with, had the yellow Giant MCR (UCI illegal!!!) tri bike out for the first time competitively and she was a dream, think my cycle was down around the 37 min mark.

    I also saw one of the runners pass by me and say: "like runing on 2 bricks". Shortly after he whipped off the shoes and completed the 2.5km run in his socks!

    1h15m20s. Bike split on my Cateye was 34m37s including running the bike in and out of transition; got 35km/h average excluding that bit according to the Garmin! Sandals were present. Need to work on the running; haven't really done any of that yet.

    You should have said hello- had the Boards jersey on over my new tri suit (I am really gone over to the dark side now) while I was waiting - definately saw your bike, it was very distinctive- you were up near the cycle entrance/exit to transition IIRC. I saw some shoes sitting there on the final run all right!

    A definate ban for sure, and I think he should be stopped from wearing his boards top when 'competing' in such a silly 'sport' :)

    Yeah we had to move it down towards the middle as it turned out it was blocking everyone after all!

    To all the other cyclists: the buzz at these events is great - you should all come over to the dark side!!!

    Did the duathlon myself last night. 1:14:20 for me, delighted with that given my lack of running miles.

    @Blorg - spotted the boards jersey when I first arrived. Was going to say hello after I racked the bike and got sorted, but couldn't spot it after that. You must have stripped off by then.

    @christeb - spotted your bike as well, it ended up on the rack next to where mine was. In fact, I nearly collided with you coming into the first transition as you were blocking the path with the bike, you moved just in time. I believe you got yelled at by the race ref too for unracking the bike before putting your helmet on - naughty ;)

    Did I??? Apologies, I don't recall anything, I was in my own exhausted world...

    Well done on the time though, I thoroughly enjoyed myself I must say. What kind of bike was yours? Did you overtake me on the cycle at all?

    No worries, only ribbing you. Don't recall passing you on the bike - I'm sure I'd have noticed. Don't have a split for my cycle part either as I forgot to turn the computer on until I was heading up the hill on Military Road for the first time :o

    I was on a Felt Z35. Not exactly a triathlon/time trial machine but it did the trick. Like blorg I passed a few guys with tri-bars and disc wheels, especially going up the hills.

    Don't know much/anything about this area, but given the hilly & twisty nature of the bike course, is there any real benefit in tri-bikes over a standard road bike?

    I wouldn't imagine so, there are too many turns and hills.

    Although in saying that I was passing out a good few of what I would term "proper cyclists" on the long descent only for them to quickly reel me back in on the hill. Mostly about the legs, at least I hope so :pac:

    Phew, I made it on there too.

    I saw a pair of boards shorts swerve to avoid a pothole on the Coast Road to Howth cycle path last Thursday evening (14th). Was in a group of three, seemed as though it almost came a cropper!

    Well first step is to get your boards jersey so you can be spotted in it. Seriously though, I would post on the Marathon/Triathlon board, particularly if your issue is mainly to do with the running. All very helpful people and indeed there is a thread over there already with a very similar focus.

    I spotted my Racing Rival on his Specialized Langter chowing through traffic this evening near Smithfield. I was in a car and passed by and was then passed by. I had to resist getting out of the car and chasing after in an effort to overtake.

    I shouted at my driver, "Hey ! A Boards.ie jersey, I know that guy, do three beeps." The driver refused. And then the driver managed to partially block the cycle lane when about to pull in. I cringed and cowered in the seat, hiding myself from view as the man from the union cycled past.

    lol!!!

    I don't remember anyone blocking the cycle lane; mind you, it's not unusual on that stretch.

    I was on a particularly good roll through Smithfield yesterday, I have a clear recollection of making eye contact with a driver in his wing mirror who was waiting to change lanes (he yielded) and thinking to myself "that almost never happens!!"

    I spotted you a few weeks ago on that hill that you used to beat me, I was walking and actually called you (imagine the looks I got for shouting the word 'verb!' randomly:D). You were 'in the zone' I reckon, never heard me.

    Next time I expect you to jump out of the car and give it your best shot!!:D

    Heading down Clanbrasssil St just after 11 this morn. Sun morning spin I take it?

    I was on the other side of the rd, heading towards town, 4k into my 13k run (I know, I should have been on a bike of some sort...)

    Lookin' good lads (and lady:D) !

    Two sightings of two different people.
    1) A few weeks ago near McDonalds in Donaghmede.

    2) Today on Georges Street while I was late-lunching in Yammamouri, I saw the banana-bike with it's owner in a Boards jersey. I must admit, I got a little excited by it. :o

    Seriously, we need to be keeping score of these. I'm thoroughly dominating at random sightings.

    My constant circuits around the city center in search of fame are paying off.

    That was my pimped-out* Langster, lovely nippy bike.

    "pimped-out" meaning covered in insulation tape plus a few other changes
