camerons Posted September 27, 2011 Share @Garfield - I just read your post. If you are in so much pain that you are considering taking pain relief before you start I would seriously reconsider doing the race. You might do yourself some proper harm. If you're just being a girl about the whole thing HTFU and get on with it. It's an ironman and it is supposed to hurt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

onetrackmind Posted September 27, 2011 Share Cant wıthdraw. Te veel ure ıngesıt en geld spandeerBig alarm bells there, mate. Seriously. Can it now, and you 'waste' that time and money. Try again when time and finances allow, but I can almost guarantee you if you go and start injured, and you will end up not finishing, wasting all that time and money anyway, and quite probably never be able to even think of doing it again. Not what you want to hear, I know, sorry! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SwissVan Posted September 27, 2011 Share I know, but just incase the need for painkillers does arise. What would be the best to use? Thats like saying "do u know of any short cuts, just in case I cant make the cut off" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gadget Posted September 27, 2011 Share I'll put money on it a couple of Myprodols will be swallowed coming down the Glen (*enter the pain cave*). That is going to HURT and then only 33km to go on the run...at least the views will be good! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

onetrackmind Posted September 27, 2011 Share Marathon tapering 12 September 2011 - 02:04I was wondering. There is a 50km marathon on Sunday (city2city) I was planning on only dong a bit of swimming etc for the week. Would it be ok for me to run like 5km's today or should I rest the legs totally? I am moderately fit. Did around 40 - 50km a week up until now and a bit of cycling. 'Moderately fit' a fortnight ago... when exactly is this Ironman you aren't going to be ready for?

Zula Posted September 27, 2011 Share Is this thread for real? I understand you all want to do the IM, but having to take pain killers before/during the event is absolutely ridiculous. Pain killers and anti inflammatory's put huge strain on your kidneys and throwing in an IM on top of that is ridiculous. Further, pain killers and anti inflammatory drugs can and probably do contain banned substances for racing, so to add to the damage you doing to your kidneys you also racing illegally. Bottom line, race slower or recover enough over the next few weeks/months to ensure you are pain free on race day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Minion Posted September 27, 2011 Share Cant wıthdraw. Te veel ure ıngesıt en geld spandeerYou need to ask yourself whether your accumulated hours so far are worth trading for what could potentially be the next year of sport. I had a niggling knee injury at the end of last year. I ignored it and continued riding culminating in the 94.7 last year. At the end of that race, My knee was burning - felt like someone had driven a red hot nail straight through me tendon. As a result of the foolhardiness, I have not raced since the 94.7 and it was only in the last month or so that I've been able to ride at any kind of elevated intensity without pain. My refusal to sacrifice the few months of hard training leading up to that race has resulted in me loosing nine months and has put me back to the point where I was three years ago fitness-wise.

mr_stig Posted September 27, 2011 Share I say a cocktail of wine, morphine and vicodin is the way to go. Not for racing, but for day-to-day use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
