A couple of chaps in work are running in the
Dublin City Triathlon. I half-heartedly said I'd give it a go.
There are a couple of issues around this (always with the excuses)
I am a fat fuck
I have young children
I have no runners
I have a shit bike
I have no wetsuit
I have taken no serious exercise in 15 years
So, if I am going to take this seriously here's the plan:
Buy runners. Make sure that they cost more than the bike.
Ride the bike I have
Buy a wetsuit
Run small distances at night
Cycle to work
Swim
Swim in a river
That's it eh? Willpower required. Lots and lots and lots. We'll see, I'm not very hopeful.

Lidl had a special on wetsuits (3mm neoprene, suited for a triathalon). However they only go up to XXL, not large enough for your fat ass.....
I have a better excuse, I can't swim.
I'd recommend getting your feet measured, there's this mat thing you walk across and a computer tells you which shoes to blow a mortgage on. If nothing else it's fun in a limited definition of fun.
Now get off your arse and get running.
If you do manage to complete it I'll donate €50 to whatever charity you're doing it for. Just not the "Con heads to McDonalds Charitable Association"
Your nuts to even attempt it, at least Q is fit enough to try, you'll kill yourself....
