I know exactly how you feel – the first year Pete did GUCR, I cried with fear and relief after sorting him out at every checkpoint – nearly 42 hours of not letting him see that I was upset in case it bothered him! Luckily the next year it was only 36 hours, so there was much less crying! :-D

Yeah, I agree. All that work just for one of the lower ‘ranks!’ I’m really hoping that I’ll grow out of this Ironman phase and find something that takes up less time but it’s rather addictive…

All that and you’ve just about scraped the title ‘pirate’!

I think i’m still in the knitting club seeing as i’ve only completed one sprint.

Well done on Roth btw!

Tom – when I’m there beside you at mile 25 on Sunday afternoon shouting for you to get a f**kin’ move on you’ll run much quicker than 7:35 :)

Absolutely brilliant race report mate… perfect timing to motivate me for Sunday where I’ll be over the moon if I can emulate your final run mile of 7:35!

Cheers

Tom

Well done David, superb time and well paced effort, left that hard effort to exactly the right time, I think the light headed shower scene probably proves that lol !! I am sure you will be back for more at some point but if its a marathon time you are after I have no doubt that a good way under sub 3 is possible for you, good jawb buddy.

That read made my train journey much better.
Yes, you must bring down your Marathon time. Time to pick one…

You could SO go sub-3 in a standalone marathon. That would be a great aim for early 2011. Lxx

Dave – excellent write up. I’m looking at Roth (although for 2012 now as I’ve already been suckered into Lanza 2011!) and this really gives a terrific insight into the event – nice one. I completed my first IM in Zurich in 10h49 last weekend and it was interesting to read that our run split times from that event (and straight marathon PBs from London ’09) are very similar – I’d love to go 10h10 second time out! – awesome time – oh and improve my marathon PB to low 3hrs as well later this year! Keep up the good work, and the excellent photography – also a fan.
Happy training.

Awesome! I am speechless I cannot comprehend spending an hour swimming, followed by a five hour bike ride and finishing with a marathon.

Fancy doing a marathon next year then? Let me know.

Great report – it can be so stressful being the support team, but so important. You must have been so happy to see each other at the finish!

I could have told you all about it if you’d have bothered to turn up to the Elmbridge 10k on Sunday. Slacker. I see you’re on the entry list for the Wedding Day 7k. See you then…

Thats a fantastic time. I know they always claim the Hampton races to be aimed at ‘novices’ but there are always some top athletes at the business end of things and to finish well inside the top 20 is a great achievement. Sounds like the training is going well…keep at it!

Hi David, I am totally out of breath reading this………makes my 25 mile sprint around the Downs this morning look pretty pathetic. Good luck with the training, we will unfortunately not be around next Sunday to cheer you on, but reading your recent updates a “good” sub 40 is well within your reach. Best Wishes Richard
