I should of stretched better though as my legs are killing me between the back of my calf and my ankle.
Edit: I got 35:08, considering there were guys doing it In 17 minutes I now feel less proud.

Same. Cycling is much more bearable.

Whereas today I went for a 85km cycle, and I didn't get bored once. Despite riding into wind over a hilly pass. With the odd rainfall. Much much more bearable.
Do any of you swim?

Walking 10k to and from work every day. Love it. It's helps to have a whopper playlist, and when the sun is out. Annoying walking through the city though, too many people. We need a new plague

That doesn't sound like something you'd forget.
Sears
That 10k walk must take quite a while?
Dublin is far too big, and you're right, they'd wanna trim down the population a bit.
Living in Galway at the moment. (Studying in NUIG) It's brilliant here, wouldn't even call Galway a city. Just a big town. Would absolutely hate to live in Dublin though.

This year, after 12 months of sitting in an office and eating shit, I'm struggling even to run 5 miles. June is going to be emotional.
Sears
35 mile running race?!?

Last year was London to Brighton (64 miles) and Winchester to Eastbourne (90). To be honest, I, and most other people, end up walking the uphills as it just isn't worth the energy expenditure over that sort of distance.

It does when you were like 7-odd and didn't care that much.

5k each way, 10k total. Takes about 40 mins. Issue is I'm going from north Dublin to South so have to go down O'Connell St, through College Green then down Grafton St, people everywhere. Where I'm living is class though

I lost my virginity near Galway.

Woops, that's not near Galway at all.
I remember now, she was from Galway.

My bikes clicking on the down push on the right hand pedal, does it more at low speeds than high.
Also kinda hard to explain but when i pedal down hard at low speed it sounds like the bike is over-reving if that makes any sense sorta like when too much power gets put down on a car and the wheel spins?
Oh and it is a bitch to shift up the front gear, fights like mad against it.
Any ideas? I've tried tightening everything, oiled everything etc...
Carroll.
Not sure what you mean for over reving. For gears could just be set wrong, the limits etc. Theres a few videos on how to set your gears, theyre simple to follow. If that dont work could be worn gear cables or something in the shifter. Worst case scenario take it to a shop but i hate how they charge like 20 quid for a 5 min job

The cranks potentially could be the problem, might just take it to the bike shop on campus and get them to do a general bit of mani menace.

After that, I'm planning on cycling home from Galway to where I live in Kerry. Approx 260km. May add a bit onto that though with the route I want to do. Want to cycle down by the coast rather than head down through the centre. May leave on the 14/5.
Day 1 would take me from Galway > Lisdoonvarna > Limerick. 140km. I'll stay with my brother then. (I have an alternative route for this which would take me further down the Clare coast but its 213km when I arrive to Limerick)
Day 2 would take me from Limerick > via the coast to Ballybunion > Tralee > home. Around 180km.
If I properly organize myself I can do it. I'm in good shape already, so if I took it easy its certainly doable. Plus the scenery along the coast should numb the pain a bit as well. Only downside is that one of the longest climbs in Ireland (The Connor Pass, 6-7km in length) is only about 30km from where I live so I'll probably seize up if I even make it to the top
