Hudson, I've been posting here since 1995. I'm neither nice NOR sensitive.

Well, yes. That's my opinion as well. But since I also happen to be a
miserable bunch of **** I sort of miss the community.

Thanks, you too. I'll post a race report after the triathlon just to
jeer in your general direction. As far as I can tell the trick isn't
going to be DOING the triathlon, it's going to be staying injury-free
long enough to do it on that specific date. Life as an endurance weenie
appears to be fraught with injury.

Your attempts to be 'one of the boys' have brought you frustration,
irritation and unhappiness, which denies the above affirmation.

I know what you mean, as quite unintentionally and so out of keeping
with how I live my life, this Group and what goes on here has become
part of my daily routine. I have no idea why!!

If you succeed in what you set out to do, I shall be among the first
to congratulate you. However, I re-affirm that your intentions are out
of step with your goals.

Competing in a Triathlon does not a Triathlete make!! ;o)

I told you that at the outset, and I do hope that my negative
observations were in some way instrumental in making you determined to
complete your endeavour.

I do regard highly people who despite all the odds, stick to their
goals and succeed where they otherwise might not have done!!

Have a great Sunday Wendy - you know I always do!! ;o)

Ditch the running and focus on the cycling and swimming. You're forty...you
can be good, happy, and fit without risking injury. Pick another goal, like
doing a few centuries this year.

IMO, risking injury at 40, after making obvious progress, is stupid.
Protect the gains you've made.
