Excellent!! Now be a normal human being and book a tee time with a stop at McDonalds on the way to the course

..and wear those purple socks on the course.
They look terrific.

Seriously well done old bean.

Is it still the tough course in Bolton? There are easier and nicer courses around for your next one ;-)

Absolutely awesome achievement. You've got every right to be proud of yourself.

Go get your well deserved IM tattoo - you've earned it!

Stick the feet up for a week too!

I probably mentioned this already but I still haven’t cleaned my bike after completing IM Copenhagen in 2019. It’s sat in the garage and I hope I never have to ride it again ?

If you do an ultra, do Race to the Tower along the Cotswold Way. Had two mates do it last weekend, looked ace. And the countryside is wonderful down here

Congrats again mate. Bolton is ridiculous and you smashed it. You just need to get your stuff framed now! (Yes, I still need to get round to printing and putting my photos in!)

I am entered in the Ballot for Race to the Stones, which is really local to me. Some of the route goes past my old house, so i know it like the back of my hand. Plus my wife did it last year,

Thanks mate! Stuff is away neatly while i wait on a frame, got an awesome print ordered too, i'll tweet it when i get it.

Well done. Tattoo?!

In coming! Probably after holiday

 

[Rooter]

Well done son… now to the next one..

Swim the channel??

No, swimming sucks!!

Is Boris a Clown, is the pope catholic? Yes, its brutal. The bike leg is savage, 3000+Meters of climbing over 3 laps, so you get to know exactly whats coming. I read somewhere there was a DNF rate of 28%, most of which were from the bike missing the cut off times.

 

[Rooter]

Hell of an achievement, well done!

When's the next one?

Nope, not for a long time, if ever. Plenty of other challenges on my bucket list. gonna do some short tri stuff for a while and try and get a really quick 70.3 time under my belt.

Body is recovering, head is not!!

Well played! You're mental of course, but still, well played,

Nope, definitely swimming. Cycling is the easy bit. ?

Cycling takes 6 to 7 times as long as swimming! And it wakes your bum hurt a lot.

Plus you’ve got all the faff of having to clean and maintain your bike.

It’s the worlds biggest ballache

 

[SaintHacker]

What an achievment that is, chapeau!

To be fair you’re right there.

I love cycling, its the most fun bit for me!

Oh yes, the cycling is the bit I enjoy most. I do despair with cleaning bikes though ? especially as Mrs F very much loves to cycle and very much loves me to clean her bike ??
