thanks Becky, and you're welcome!

i've emailed this to personal mail so i can access it on sunday... from the comfort of my bed!


I'm quite excited about my run on saturday as it's the first one i'll have done with chip timing.... it has a paper/plastic strap for your ankle but would you guys recommend tying it to your laces instead?

becky_rtw

Oh I've never had an ankle one...mine are always in the number or onto the laces...

Len if you want to get it on your mobile you need to text RUN to 83040 and it will then send you a link but you have to have WAP on your phone

Ankle is fine for those things - they use them all the time like this in triathlons (when the swimming leg you don't use shoes!). The reason for the Marathon using tyvek tags on the laces is that when you are trying to remove 35000 of them undoing a ankle thing gets time consuming!

becky_rtw

I cant understand the point of triathlons...swimming...in the sea...why!!!

triathlons! wow!!

i have been known to run/cycle and swim in the same day... but never over any great distances...!

What are the distances for a basic entry level triathlon....?

i really admired Jlo when she did her triathlon... does that me sounds like a Ok magazine reading airhead?!!

oooh no! not in the sea, yuk! i'll have a pool please!

There is a run/swim club where i live but the runners are waay more advanced than me... i can only aspire to being able to get those kinda times....

becky_rtw

Maz I think the standard is 1.5km swim, 40km bike and 10k run, but I know they do lower distances sometimes...

triathalons :eek: no thank you and I like to be able to touch the bottom so that rules me out of deep sea swimming:rotfl:

so the swim in a pool would take me ooooh i dunno an hour or maybe more, as it's 60 lengths......

the bike would take me...... 3.5 hours+ @ 7mph (11.25kmh)

and the run would take me an 1hr 17min (on my previous 10km pace)

It would all be over by the time i got back!!! everyone would have gone home, lol!!!!!! and that's not allowing for fatigued legs after subsequent events!!

Oh well, back to the drawing board!!

I'm seriously considering a half marathon next year, but i need to get my predicted time down to 2:45 minimum, am currently at just under 3hours pace.... what a slow coach i am! and that's with great improvements!
