Who wants to be an IRONMAN?
Oct 13, 2012 @ 20:23

...or woman of course!


I've posted details of a new club in the Glocals 'Groups' section - The Geneva IRONMAN Club.


I'm getting some emails about equipment and fitness, so I thought I'd 'Forum' it to see if it catches anyones attention that might want to consider a challenge and ask some sensible questions - By the way, I'm 42 and way past my physical peak, and I'm also the portly fellow that's been doing the 'original' Geneva Curry Club for over 6 years which involves beers and late nights - so if you don't know me, please don't picture me as a Terminator version of Bradley Wiggins... I just really enjoy the build up of an IRONMAN event and of course the event itself, there's really nothing like it... and that's from experience of enduring events as I am also ex-Army and have spent entire nights running across deserts and long hot days cutting through jungles with Gurkha soldiers... but IRONMAN is a very different kind of challenge (no-one shooting at you for a start) - So if you're feeling up for it and want to achieve something you can brag about for the rest of your life, drop me a msg or discuss something for a few points of view.  Let's see where this goes... Laughing

Perhaps I should have titled the forum clearly - "Who wants to be an IRONMAN 'athlete'?" - Just in case there are any other costume fetishes out there!

6 years back I would have said ME and trained like crazy for it. As for 20 years i walked around the world and thought I am as good as man who can use m-14, who traind for ERNA Raid (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Erna_Raid , but truth is I actually love cooking and bakeing more and "sad" thing is I am never going to be Ironman anyway and Ironlady comes out only when someone insists me.  But good luck with itSmile

Hi Rich, not sure if Alex is on here but here is his facebook link: https://www.facebook.com/alex.seeger.56?ref=br_rs


Otherwise, biking to GVA on Saturday and going on a run with us and biking back to Lyon is perfect training for a tri :-)

:-) we swim in a pool in Paquis, its a 25 meter pool and the trainer is a top trainer from the Triathlon club in Geneve. He's a real rock star! and gives real good coaching.


You can meet us at Bain de Paquis after the run,.. around 11.00 to 11.30 then we head for the pool.


Lets see if you can be an Ironwoman, otherwise I'll just bring you my laundry and you can iron that :-)
