If I have missed your completion post let me know.

[MrsSparkle Graduate]

Yes! I've done it! Not planned for today, it just happened. Triathlon complete

My 4 year old niece came for the day and has just learned to go her bike without stabilisers so she brought it with her so I could be impressed. But that wasn't enough, she wanted me to prove that I could go a bike, so I had too get mine out to show her. So, with my daughter too, we cycled for just over half an hour. My niece was actually amazingly good and we managed quite a distance.

So, next we went swimming. What a lot of fun! I actually did my proper triathlon swim on Saturday, but it does feel quite good to say that I did everything in one day!

Finally, tonight I did my first run of week 9 - 30 minutes sorted. It was actually the run I have felt best about. The first 20 minutes I felt great, which is new to me, and then I just had to keep going for the last 10.

So pleased to join the illustrious squad of triathletes. Donation will be made tomorrow morning. Thanks for this, it has been a lot of fun.

Ooh, Boston. Now you're talking!

[dozzer19 Graduate in reply to MarkyD]

Cultural Attaché MarkyD, you put your name down for The Dozz-ville Challenge Award For The Discombulated. Have you completed yet?

[Madge50 Graduate]

Dear Dozzer, can I ask, is the triathlon open to those who may not be able to complete one element, but can replace it with something else? I cannot swim, keep trying, but it's no good, and have no available water nearby, I can however hula hoop for 30 minutes, (alternating sides every 5 mins to prevent back strain) possibly longer and will be getting a new shiny bike today (excited). So, run - tick, bike - will do (tick), ?hula-hoop

Many thanks

Madge

[dozzer19 Graduate in reply to Madge50]

[dozzer19 Graduate in reply to frannyfran]

You're 'nacked?

You doubt yourself?

Anyway what's that Gregoire song about potage about?

[frannyfran Graduate in reply to dozzer19]

T'as le cafard? = are you depressed

Tu te degonfle? = are you giving up

As for Gregoire, never heard of him.... but I am not a music lover!

[lizziebeth57 Graduate in reply to dozzer19]

Just read this and am hoping it's just a passing thought. Let us give you a bit of support if you are thinking of dropping it though. How crap is crap? Against which measures?

[I_will Graduate]

Sir, I said I would do it in style and I did!

I redid the ones I had done, and the cycling. I did all three today and am thoroughly but happily knackered!

My money went to my local children's hospice.

Disappointing. Such frivolity amongst the ranks. We're not in this for fun, you know.

[I_will Graduate in reply to dozzer19]

No sir, of course. I shall go and read War and Peace at once.
