Midlife Crisis

Take up gardening, grow your own food, you’ll wonder why you didn’t start earlier.

I’d say Tibet is heaving with middle aged jaded Buddhist roasters suddenly turning to the rosary

I signed up for an official triathlon today lads.

No bother to you. I’d love to do a few but my swimming is shite.

Whats the official distances and order of each leg?

When all of this Covid shit is over I’m learning how to swim properly.

There are different types.

Sprint is 750m swim, 20km bike, 5km run.
Olympic is 1500m swim, 40km bike, 10km run.

Above that you’re in Iron man territory. When I’m done with hurling I’ll probably do another Olympic one. There’s one in Ventry I’d really love to do.

Yeah not worried about finishing it. We did our own one last week so a few of us have signed up and it’s getting nicely competitive.

Would you not just buy a motorbike, or have an affair with a young one? You’re far less likely to kill yourself with one of those.

I’ll do my best. Not sure how many young ones are hanging round looking for a go off an overweight 40something with a dodgy back.

I have my own version of that. 3 pints followed by 3 glasses of vino and then 3 large whiskeys

Let’s be honest when you get to a certain age sex is more of an effort than a triathlon…

Out in Bray? Did one years ago. Alright but too crowded and terrible organisation at the end. Youd to wait ages to go under the electric thing. Turned me off it big time.
