Is it still up for grabs? Is it now unlocked?

Anyone doing the Birmingham half this Sunday? Or anyone done it before? Looks like a bit of a crap climb right at the end...

Doing Berlin at the weekend - woefully under-prepared but hoping that I will get through on a couple of long runs and a season of triathlons. Just looking to have a good time I think... perhaps a question for the Berlin travel thread but I am staying over for an extra day on Monday in the city - anyone got any recomendations for what to do on a whistle stop tour as well as a good place for a couple of drinks on Sunday eve?

How did you do mate? Looked like a cracking conditions and course.

Anyone doing the Birmingham half in October? Just spontaneously signed up for it....

Could you do the brakeset 40 quid posted?

think i may have spotted you, i am bar supervisor there, got a stupid undercut(ish) hair cut and was wearing exactly the same as everyone else haha. that was a long night.

different snazzy location then? I was talking about the lowry hotel....

hey bajan...that was me....an i wasnt enjoying...i was working..hahaha..bartender

As was I, you were agency im guessing?

Black dolan track champ, wing tt forks and seat post, 'i'm reckless' sticker? Possibly enjoying the same rubbish party in a fancy location as I was last night?

Oh yeah, I ran the Brighton Marathon today. It was really really fucking hot, and the sun was relentless.

Had to throw the planned target / pace out the window and just tried to finish. 4:23

Well done mate me too, stupidly hot. Only strengthened the addiction though. Back next year?

Sunday, Marathon, Brighton. *gulp

Quite looking forward to it.

Very much enjoying the eating part.

Snap, think the eating might be a bit easier than the running unfortunately

Spotted you today on the rossin, real nice ride.

sounds ideal I was trying to find an excuse to ride more.

When you say Italy im assuming you mean more precisely Bergamasco....he's mental, loses it in nearly every possible situation

Any chance of postage...?

....before you ebay it...?

I'm definitely not arguing!

white frame black aerospoke is ryan gilbanks, hipster extraordinaire. hes not on here, on account of not actually riding his bike that he spent over a grand on, he just needs it to contrast with his ltd ed trainers

Hahah....oh ryan, haven't seen him in ages. good description.

Any chance of postage...?

You can always partition and install Linux on the second partition for matlab stuff. Boot Camp should work (but call it Windows).

It it really is a 100times slower, you could try running a flavour of linux in a VM.

How is matlab performance in Windows? the last time I ran matlab was version 5.

+1 partition with linux...never had any issues

Mental strength course... I can't imagine anything worse than running laps of Dorney - at least its flat! I'm sure I've mentioned it but I had a coach who used to make do 180-210km rides on a 30km circuit going past my front door every lap. He wanted to give me every possible opportunity to give up and go home - his rational(?e) being that if I could keep going after 5, 6 or 7 hours of whizzing past my bed and a nice warm shower, then I'd have no problem in races. Out and back courses are easy - if you stop you don't get home.

Yea i've started doing this, got a nice 5 mile course that goes literally past my front door and its helping no end. Im going out thinking i'll give up after a few laps and just keep going cos i don't want to feel im giving myself an easy ride! +1 with the 5k. just push on up to 10k without thinking about the fact its double and in no time you'll wonder what you were ever bothered about. After you get into the swing of it you can just keep going for a lot longer than you think!

Good stuff Ed.

I managed a 1:42:07 in the Brighton half yesterday.

Pretty damn pleased with that considering it's part of marathon training and I've only been at it since January!

(was still secretly disappointed not to get under 100 minutes though)

Definitely on track for your marathon pace though. It's deadly being just off a barrier like 100 mins, you'll keep yourself competing til you do it now!

I had my first competitive 1500m this weekend at BUCS meet....was definitely completely last, dunno how people keep that kinda pace for so long. Killer.

I'm only running it because I got a place transferred from someone else.

It's a little bit off my marathon schedule but thought it would be good prep. especially as it covers a lot of the same route.

Looks like it covers a lot of the nice bits, at least it misses out the slog up church road which is on the marathon. Thats killer. 3:45:00 is a good time, the Brighton route is pretty fast so easily do-able, just pray it isn't windy.

I think he's suggesting seller contacts OP in other thread as he's consider a mash? Apologies if im wrong

Sorry can't read, didn't realise it was powerpc. Still great price, free bump, good luck with the sale.
