Dadbod Racing

Err yes, in Cape Town winter starts once you finish the Cape Town Cycle Tour, EVERYONE knows that! lol

Apparently Corona is female because she has had the ability to stop ALL sport world wide but for now it's just a myth nothing proven. Second point is yes, you're right we might all be racing next year as there are just many unknowns... And thirdly yes, when I read that a positive case in Khaya was confirmed that was my worst fear. I really that it would not get to the townships but alas we now just sit tight and we wait and see.

Flippen peachy! They're in Lorraine about 10 mins (well actually everything in PE is 10 mins away) So slight wind, would have probably been blowing a bit stronger at the coast but yeah doable me thinks. Anyway onwards to November. Yaay, long dark rides in Aug is just what one needs innit!

I wouldn't stress once we are free just klap the mileage. About the IDT ... I see it there, haven't dusted it off. Been doing the Yard runs though lol I'll get onto the IDT soon.

I'm sure a few people will defer to April thus opening up a few spots?

So who else got the training peaks email saying You're an Ironman?? The least they could have done was cancel their automated emails?? lol My wife cousin also sent me a weather update Sunday morning :-( Anyhoo life goes on. I'm really getting into these yard runs though!

November for me, what have you decided?

I'm tired of reading the Corona Virus threads. Might get onto the indoor trainer later, also watching what I'm eating #sadtimes

I agree with you 100% however I saw the disappointment in their faces when they knew they wouldn't be coming along.

I also had my heart set on IM PE and then Challenge at the end of the year. However I did make a promise to myself that I was going to do a full IM before I turn 40 in June. The missus thinks I should just do November. She probably doesn't want more of this crazy schedule next year... When do we have to make this decision?

Did you guys and girls get your emails yesterday? Race in November or defer... If I race in November the family won't be able to come down as it's still school term.

I was using a 12 week plan I got off 220 Triathlon but seeing as IM has been postponed I'm looking for tweaks I can do to the program to build on what I've already done.

No gym for me for the foreseeable future, read the tweets about if Virgin should stay open or close etc but whatevs I'm not chancing that, I'll stay away. I think I'll just work on my running and do rides on the weekend and maybe open water swims if I get a chance but this has happened. I'm that guy that always says, it could have been worse. This could have been Hiroshima, we could all be posting images of us carrying dead bodies etc Stay safe peeps, we'll get through this.

I was pretty miffed on Friday but then realised that should something have happened to any of us travelling then my selfishness would have cost them. I would have liked to do IM at the end of March so I could get my life back but now I will rest up and I have more time to train. I'd rather being inconvenienced this way then have to sit at a family members bedside cause they've contracted the virus.

LMAO you're probably right!

Spoke to the place I booked in for that weekend and Bookings.com sent all the Port Elizabeth guest houses a heads up email. Spoke to the missus now and she asked me 3 times in the conversation if I'm ok... hahahahah

Right so after I consume lots of beer and feel sorry for myself, tomorrow I'm defo going to have a headache and after I feel sorry for myself again I need to rethink my training. How would you modify your training now? Me thinks keep the sessions intense and do long sessions every two weeks or so?

Ja nee.... Tonight Beer with a side of more beer....

Where are you getting your info fella??

As much as I'd be Effing GUTTED I will have to understand that this is not about me and my selfish needs about ticking off one of my goals. To an extent I've enjoyed training I've enjoyed laughing at the fact that I can smash out long swims, long rides and big runs but there are bigger things at stake here. If it gets postponed I'll accept it... I better message my acommodation folks cause I've wacked out a deposit :-( As for the training, I'll take a week or three off and find a more advanced training program. To the other physco's out there that have sweated it out, we will get our race. Enjoy what you've achieved so far in fitness, take the oppurtunity to get faster and fitter! Dadbod Out....

I got my race number via sms yesterday.... Squeaky bum time!

Me thinks because of the good weather and the fact that the race wasn't interrupted in anyway they might sell out for 2021.

I need to mission out there one day, I've seen it before but also thought it was no more....

Err say what?? Has anything being said? Hopefully it's not cancelled but postponed... I'm in no position to be dontating that kind of entry fee!
