Consolidation Run 5 ✅

17 Replies

Another stinking long day at work! Wet commute to work & back! Needed that run to unwind!

A bit damp & breezy, but very enjoyable Starting to like running straight off the bike! The legs are primed & ready to go! 🚲 ☔️ 🏃‍♂️

I think you must have Duracell batteries in those legs!

I wish! I’m like the Tin man in a morning! I need oiling! 😂

Running straight off the bike... when wet... there’s almost an event in there... what’s it called now 🤣

Great running and good to see it’s a relaxing thing now... what a difference in a couple of months!

Ha ha! I’m hopeless at the front crawl! I’d be last out of the water with the breast stroke! I’d catch up on the bike, though! 😂

I never got the hang of crawl... was very much happy on my back... so no triathlon gold for me next year 🤣

I’m sure you make up for it on the bike & your run! How far is the ride & run?

40k ride and 10k run in the Olympics I think... some of those guys would be 5k into the run while I was getting on the bike for sure! I do love watching it, but I haven’t felt the need to try it yet... that said, Sheffield is calling me, and the only way I’ll get there without a car this year is to dust off the bike!

Definitely get the bike out! I love it!

I’d have to be strong and pass the electric one! Not ridden a regular bike for about 10 years... would need a good servicing for sure... still, daytime TV sucks and work is very quiet.

Deffo better than day time tv! I am missing loose women though! 😂 Not Judge Rinder!

I have been enjoying sky sports... my team have been doing really well, but the reruns are about to end and the mediocrity shall return 🤣

Not a fan of the Rinder show either... shame really, he’s a lovely guy... but I can’t watch it without thinking Judy was better.

Who’s your team?

United... I’ll be gutted when Fergie retires again, it’s been great seeing him back!

in reply to UnfitNoMore

Never be another like him!

Can’t see it, they don’t get the time. I’d love to see another Brian Clough though... he’d be lots of fun with all the press work they have to do these days!
