So that's;

 3.8km swim in 1.22 hrs(split) Followed by,
 180k cycle in  4.08 hrs (total so far)
 42k run    ---

... and I can sit by this pool with a beer in my hand and watch it all. 

actually... getting a bit hot. Might need to take a swim myself. Back in a minute.

Hes 7.5 hours in, 55k of the bike ride still to go AND the 42krun

Nah, you'd get bored Kev.

[Kevin Wood]

Yep, bored already. Off to give the MX5 a spanking. 

Hope Guffer is doing OK. Still seems like he's got a mountain ahead of him to climb to me.

It's too complicated for me ......

Total time so far 11.18hours.

And still more than a Marathon to go.

Yep! Why run & cycle all that way when you've a perfectly good car?

Or at least something with wheels. I can understand the push bike stage.... Just.


I once had the crazy notion of doing the coast to coast cycle ride. North coast from Workington, to the west coast near Newcastle somewhere.

Can't see that happening now.

But this is something else altogether. Amazing what people are capable of though.

Newcastle is on the west coast? You really are a tit, aren't you?

Don't sugar coat it STEMO 

He might not know his west from his east, but he's brilliant at rear do-nut bushes

East to West coast then, I'm more interested in watching Prometheus, now bog off. Pedant

I wasn't very good at you donuts Mr B....  had to dig them out with a stick.

If my Omega is stopping on my drive, I need to do something with the front wishbone bushes. When you have something else to compare it to (as lard arse as the Merc is), you realise that it does its own thing in corners & only vaguely follows the input from the steering wheel ..... I really must use it more.

Still no time posted for the 14km way point .......  I think Matt has stopped for a pint!

I really can't imagine how gruelling that would be. It seems almost impossible....

It IS impossible for me! In 'English', he's swum almost 2.5 miles, cycled 112 miles (more than Manchester to Brum and is then running more than a marathon! Just incredible!
