Ironman Germany. 2nd July 2012

Only, what a matter of, 6 days to go before another showdown between Fatness V. Weakness at Frankfurt. Of course one of the major attraction for Fat Boy is bound to be the sausages. I bet the real Frankfurter isn't a thing that looks like your John Thomas did when you got a stiffy in Primary 7. The Real Frankfurter is probably something quite different. But the sausages aren't my main concern I have other issues. #!. Complete lack of money.  #2. Achille's tendonitis , will I carry on to permanent disablement just because I won't want to give up.  #3 Morton's neuroma a wee nerve thing in the other foot which ends up being painful but that's all. #3. A distinct lack of training since the Achille's thing -  a direct result of running from Newcastle to Carlisle following The Hadrian's Wall Path. The main achievement would be just finishing the damn thing. Oh aye and a wee back twinge from wrestling with roofing tiles on someones roof in the rain. This is what they all say about aging  - you just can't physically do the things you want to do? Well bollox  to that!
