I've packed my runners, my Vibram FiveFingers and a copy of Born to Run.[/color]

Ah well. You know this is cyclical and you know that the only way to get back on the up-cycle is to grit your teeth (Ipanema -- tough gig) and get back out there. We, your readers, know that 2011 is going to be a big year for you (assuming Point to Pinnacle comes off -- sounds like you need some kind of expert in international logistics to organise it ) so you're entitled to a bit of downtime, even if it's not of your choice. Your body might benefit from it in the "long run".

Remind me, what distance are you planning for Connemara? Or are you just going to decide on the day?

BTW I recently came across this bloke. From his PR stats on the front page (and his race report) he's definitely "one of us" performance-wise, but he only went and did an Ironman. Makes me wonder if such things might one day be achievable for mortals like us.
