    So you can see eye to eye?

    I used to be the same. Hadn't been for a run or swim for over 10 years. My twin, who had been training for months, entered me in a mini tri and told me about it a week before the event. After getting some road tyres for the mountain bike and something I could wear to swim in, actually didn't even own a pair of shorts, I had time for one run and one swim. Rattled off a 10km run in just over half an hour and pulse returned to below 50 within 5 minutes. Biked to QEII jumped in the pool and promptly swam 2km (40 lengths); that surprised me as I'd never done over 200m before. On the day I did the 500m swim, 12km ride and 5km run with ease and beat my twin by 40 minutes.

    After last weekend I can fully understand your comment on natural vs real fitness Tussock.

    That would have really pissed him off GM.
    It takes 43 muscle's to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger pull.
    What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
    Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
    Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
    Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
    Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
    Rule 5: Check your firing zone
    Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
    Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms

    Just a little! The excuse list was as funny as hell.

    He was determined to beat me at something. Don't know why he was bothering as he always crossed the finish line before me when rowing; I was the stroke so only the coxswain was behind me in the boat.
