Myles Posted May 3, 2008 Share Posted May 3, 2008 Ta. My legs think I'm quite mad too. I feel more knackered after todays ride than I did after the 102-mile practice session on the actual course on Monday... I'm looking forward to getting this out of the way and getting what little 'life' I have back... 🙆🏻 🙆🏻 🙆🏻 🙆🏻 🙆🏻 Alcester Racing 7s Ecosse™ 🙆🏻 🙆🏻 🙆🏻 🙆🏻 🙆🏻 Alcester-Racing-Sevens.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Myles Posted May 8, 2008 Share Posted May 8, 2008 Flippin'eck - and a big thanks to Roger W - that's taken the total over £200!

RogW Posted May 8, 2008 Share Posted May 8, 2008 Done. You are barking mad of course. It will hurt like hell... You will have sore bits (!) for days... But still a hell of a personal achievement. (Having done marathons and all sorts - I actually sort of envy you that feeling of accomplishment you get at the end - mind you I don't think my a*se does!!!!) Hope it goes well - and drink lots (water NOT beer!) Rog Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Myles Posted May 8, 2008 Share Posted May 8, 2008 Thanks once again Roger. I did 90-odd miles of the course (102 in total on the day) in practice a week ago on Monday (with a support vehicle to refuel me with energy drink). The plan was to only do the two halves of the course over two days, but I kept on going... I must admit that I've been chafing my nadgers on these long rides - and made my very first purchase of vaseline as a result 🙆🏻 🙆🏻 🙆🏻 🙆🏻 🙆🏻 Alcester Racing 7s Ecosse™ 🙆🏻 🙆🏻 🙆🏻 🙆🏻 🙆🏻 Alcester-Racing-Sevens.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RogW Posted May 8, 2008 Share Posted May 8, 2008 Ahhhh.. the wonders of Vaseline... Ain't no shame in shoving great globs of the stuff down yer shorts if it protects the crown jewels... (as an aside - I would like to publicly like to apologise to the poor St John's lady who was handing out handfuls of the stuff on last years London Marathon - I do hope you have recovered from the trauma and the councelling has been helpful [mental note made - Must NOT to drop my running shorts like that in public again... mind you - it felt much better after!!!!}) Rog Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Myles Posted May 12, 2008 Share Posted May 12, 2008 How's yer *for blisters? Funny you should mention that - should have posted this in the main thread. After suffering from chafed nuts on long training runs, I lubed-up with vaseline on Sunday morning. My nadgers are absolutely fine - but I ended up with what I can only describe as nappy-rash on my backside itself. Worst bit was when the first water from the post-ride shower hit my cheeks. Christ, but that stung! Some baby-lotion stuff sorted it out - fortunately I only noticed the pain after the ride itself (probably overloaded with other considerations at the time...) 🙆🏻 🙆🏻 🙆🏻 🙆🏻 🙆🏻 Alcester Racing 7s Ecosse™ 🙆🏻 🙆🏻 🙆🏻 🙆🏻 🙆🏻 Alcester-Racing-Sevens.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
