I'M DOING THE AUCKLAND MARATHON!!!!
-
and once you shed a few kilos - running will probably not be so bad...<br />
<br />
Plenty of great fun tracks around Whangamata too - bring it on - nothing better than a mad ride on a Saturday afternoon followed by a BBQ and 1 or 2 beers.<br />
<br />
Quietly though, this also means that myself, Duluth and Kirwan won't have to be rowing any marathons in the near future too. So that little "whoop whoop" you heard from the East Coast Hooroo was me...<br />
<br />
Every cloud has a silver lining sort of thing, get that bike over here!! -

i think Hooroo will be lighter than me at the mo <img src='http://www.daimenhutchison.com/invision/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/blink.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='B)' /> I had a bad winter....<br />
<br />
woot woooo hooroo i'll be on my 15th beer by the time you come in at taupo it'll be gold!<br />
<br />
knees suck i've got no cartilage in mine, being trying to 'manage' it, was going alright. then made the mistake of playing some rugby. sure enough picked up a sweet injury, 95% tear of the pec muscle where it attaches to the bicep.. so surgery blah blah blah and a summer of no golf and swimming. farking great. <br />
<br />
Knee feels ok tho, but no point running as the half ironman is out so that's one good thing!<br />
<br />
So just on teh bike... and getting a new toy cause i wrote one off in a crash last week.<br />
<br />
and one of my trainers is giving me some new diet pills to trial... <img src='http://www.daimenhutchison.com/invision/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':lol:' /> -

What he said. Fortunately we have a local coming with us now on one of the boats who is only too happy to show us where they are.<br />
<br />
Here's hoping the weather will be OK-ish -

Shit that's an impressive time. I rode around with the missus this time and it took 6hr 12. Too long sitting on a bike. Hope to go under 5 hr next year. <br />

How much fluid do you take? -
