I thought that you would like it and it wouldn't be the last one you did.<br /><br />I'm dead scared of trying as I know I'd be hooked too! <br /><br />Nice report too.

No need to stare at the ceiling in the wee hours anymore. <br /><br />"Swimming through the Atlantic" - sounds very impressive, it's the way you tell it.<br /><br />Impressive bike time, although I would have thought your placing would have been higher. A 20 minute 5k, especially with a hill thrown in, is top class. <br /><br />I can relate to you finding the run harder and less enjoyable than expected - imagine how tough it must have felt for those who don't come from a running base and are continuously being overtaken by the Thomas's of this world - at least you were motivated by how many places you would gain before you ran out of road.Grellanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07132757537248747078noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13273897.post-89034989591333565722010-05-25T09:29:14.856+01:002010-05-25T09:29:14.856+01:00Great to hear reaching the bike leg in one piece r...Great to hear reaching the bike leg in one piece ranked up there with the birth of your children.<br /><br />Excellent effort for your first Thomas.
