    Dublin marathon.... 4h:16mins ...went in with a bit of a knock but fantastic day touch of sunburn ...had to ease the pace as I forgot my gels and the only available ones were at mile 16 so dreams of a sub 4 went out the window, felt good at the finish line passed a lot of broken bodies in the last mile already looking forward to next year might do an ultra over January/February to tick me over ..... considering the Dublin half Ironman next year

    Verstappen has only just turned 20, I don't think that there is any doubt that he'll get his big chance soon.

    Although I think I heard them say tonight that he's just signed to stay with Red Bull until 2020 

    what engine are they rolling with next year ? has it been decided ? .....Is torro going with the god awful honda ?

    Things that piss you off that shouldn't

    So did my first and probably last adventure race last weekend over in donegal 16k run 2k kayak 24k bike all uphill, 4 k mountain climb 2 up 2 down (the peak was  750m so fairly straight up) finish with 18k bike (6k offroad)  and a 500m beach run.

    all summer training for it went to shite, chest infection after a virus the week before had me going into the race on antiboitics and nearly a stone lighter due to sickness, add to that a storm that was forecast for later on in the day arriving just in-time for the start so gale force 8 winds all route.

    Had stomach cramps 10k into the run then barfed everywhere 31k in to the race cold sweats light head ...twas lovely ....text the wife and told her I quit not gonna finish, rang the steward and told them im 31k in ready for pickup....Then the phone screen saver came up of the kids and I just sat there and managed to talk my way back on the bike with some shit of "how can you ever tell your kids to try their hardest and give everything when your about to DNF a race" got to the checkpoint at the mountain and got a quick checkup my the ambulance crew on site they said its your choice if you go up or not but they advise against it ...so of course got the second wind at that stage and said **** it i'm nearly home .......oh **** .......I have never had leg cramps like it pure pain all the way to the top ...every muscle on fire .......

    Anyway I wont go on ..I managed to finish the race .....**** ....and now a marathon in 4 weeks .........Why .....how .....:bang:
