Geekly goodness

Mmm, an all-you-can-eat mobile data tariff. Finally the 770 stops being a white elephant and comes to life. As blogged from the sofa. T-Mobile's Web'n'Walk Pro is my new friend.

Reportage

Crediton by night

No sign of riots on the quiet streets of this rural idyll... Chav activists were away in Weston for a burn-up. Our reporter posted this story while waiting for his chow mein to arrive, using a camera phone and Nokia 770. No wonder the King of Nepal ordered the mobile networks in Katmandu turned off during the current riots. -- geek reporter AndyG

You obviously have too much time on your hands... Go for a swim or something! You could always start preparing for a half iron if you get bored... Consider the gauntlet thrown for somewhere between now and about 106...

Supposedly writing my dissertation right now but there you go. Life begins again after May 7. Wanna come and train? BTW you scabbed my gaffer tape last time you were down.

Yep, your reportage confirmed my suspicions.

Too much time? I'm tapering. Honest. Or nursing shinsplints, and I'll be in the pool tomorrow - these rural pools close after ten at night, you know!

Here's the tri deal: assuming that the Novice isn't a total death march - and that's not a given! - I'll put in for a sprint or two over the rest of the summer. Then maybe next season I'll look at a proper distance...

Exeter Half April 30th. Intensive swim training, a couple of transition sessions, lots of fixie work and some pace runs between then and this evil silliness on May 14th. I am sooooo going to be last.

Who cares - at least you got off your backside and did it! Bet you won't be anyway. You do know a silly costume makes you run faster...

Think of your abs - you can find them now! ;-)

Besides: If not today... When?

Rough draft of dissertation to tutor. Go me.

In that case I'll do it in a mailshirt. I can walk the swim - can't be any slower!

As for abs, pfeh, I can find *serratus* if I look closely. Probably *iliopsoas* if I dig around. 'tis the torture of this fat-n-fit thing, there's all manner of buffness under twenty kilograms of butter. And dropping :)
