=== moylan1 is now known as moylan === meetingology` is now known as meetingology [18:46] good evening [18:47] i reckon a poll to select the date on [18:48] i reckon a poll to select the date of UGJ Dublin is a good idea [18:48] Limerick and possibly Galway might also participate on the standard weekend [19:32] so a date ie a sat or sunday and maybe a start time? [19:42] moylan aye. driving this is the fact that the 02 - 04 Mar 12 weekend doesn't suit tdr112 and myself. [19:43] not sure i can make it either as mobility is still limited. [19:44] any date for the op yet? [19:45] was at clinic this week. fingers crossed. 2 years wait so far. :-/ [19:45] yeah I remember talking to you about it :( [19:46] hope the check went well. [19:46] seemed to go ok. one bit of good news was that i found that after a year or so after op i can cycle again, maybe. [19:47] that would be good. [19:47] did you cycle before? [19:47] always wanted to get a brompton folding bike [19:48] aye [19:48] i did in the 90s but gave it up as dublin is so unsafe to bike in. but been hankering after a bike last 3-4 years [19:49] I recently bought a whiter version of this: [19:50] http://thebigbikestore.com/product/jupiter/spider-road-bike [19:51] to help in my preparations for this (god help me): [19:51] http://www.triathy.ie/2012entry/ [19:52] moylan you know my body [19:52] what ever doesn't kill you makes you stronger unless it's a triatholon in which case it'll leave you knackered! :-D [19:52] baby triathlon :) [19:52] up to 11 miles on the bike now [19:53] which covers the distance of the cycle portion [19:53] remember baby traithlon... [19:53] used to cycle 7 miles from city centre to sandyford every day in 90s. on good days it was great, in bad weather it really really sucked [19:53] 400m river swim with the current.... [19:54] so... floating :-) [19:54] yip :) [19:54] 16km cycle [19:54] 4km crawl [19:55] and whimper when you get home for a day or two [19:55] that's if I make it home [19:55] :) [19:56] add 1 day of training on the proper way to lie on a stretcher :-) [19:57] very important in your case. [19:57] touche! :-D [19:57] :) [19:58] you could always do the croagh patrick pilgrimage bare foot for training. that'll harden your feet [19:59] it it the heart I am more worried about! [19:59] remember the rhyme 'if left arms goes numb. you've done something dumb!' ;-) [20:00] I will [20:00] sponsored? [20:00] no [20:00] just giving it a go. [20:01] it's an interesting category of sport as it favours the generalist rather than a specialist. [20:02] yeah and the triathy is a great entry level
