Well I did a half iron distance last year and it took me 5 hours 33, about 35 mins for the swim, 3 hours for the bike and 1:55 for the run, then transitions between each as well. I'm aiming to do around 1 hour 20 for the swim, 7 hour bike then anything around 5 hours for the run, so about 13 hours total. I have done 4 marathons before, each around 4 hours, but doing one when I've already been going for 8 hours beforehand is going to be something completely different!
If I could also ask women who are not yet their ideal weight to refrain from wearing leggings. I'm sure there are much more appropriate clothes available.
4st is good going mate in 6 months.
Didn't realise you had been diagnosed a diabetic Filo. Even more congratulations for you. Great achievement and a massive boost from your doc. Keep going.
You wanna do your bloody damndest, Filo, to stay away from the needles. I've been on them for 15 years now. Whilst the [ricking ain't so bad, the long term consequences are chuffing awful. I don't care what grief, what mood swings, what pain it costs you to keep going, just keep at it. Anything, anything is better than that alternative mate.BobG
I've joined a Slimming World group to keep me focused, really enjoying it and I have lost 11lb in 4 weeks so far. 17 weeks til I go on holiday to Florida and I want to lose another 2 stone which will take me to my lightest weight that I can ever recall, certainly in my adult life... At just over 1.5lb a week I am sure it can be done!
Saw on the Tonight programme the other night that the women in the UK are the fattest in Western Europe. They banged on about the health issues associated with this and reported from our very own DRI. Apparently Doncaster is the fattest place in the UK.There is one more issue that never seems to get mentioned when fatness is discussed. So as I am not politically correct I will address it.Women also need to consider not just the health issues but also their attractiveness to the opposite sex. Please be aware that the fatter you get, the less attractive you get.Now the last thing I want to be accused of is being sexist. Needless to say it works the other way. Men also become less attractive to the opposite sex the fatter they get.Well done to all those that are losing weight. Keep it going and you'll find yourself getting healthier and more attractive.If I could also ask women who are not yet their ideal weight to refrain from wearing leggings. I'm sure there are much more appropriate clothes available.
