I was just wondering if any one could help me.
I have a bike called a banshee shogun pro, it is pretty sweet and i can pull some sick speeds on it. I went down hill the other day in about 2 minutes.
The problem is I really struggle with going super fast uphill. I only have about 28 gears but can squat 150kgs which is major heavy on my legs so i am what you guys would call a power man.
I also have a problem with chain where it has gone really orange and wont shift from the small one on the back and the big one on the front i have about a 60 tooth ringer on the front as i counted them (it took like 45mins cos i kept losing my place).
i am currently doing about 20 miles each week in about 2.5 hours but have entered ironman nottingham. IS THIS ENOUGH????? i am worried about not making it!!
when i entered i thought you got a rest between each one for an hour!
Finally does anyone know any good swim lessons, I am struggling with about 16 lengths at the moment but my mate told me if i get a wetsuit they give you forward motion whilst keeping me afloat. is this right.
I am worried I am underprepared, but you know what they say, you ain't hardcore unless you live hardcore.
cheers

Have they popped another one on the map of the UK ?
buy a carbon wetsuit, they're the ones with the best engines in them (and they look mega cool).
Maybe you should try 'Ironman Macclesfield' a bit later in the year ?
December I think it is, it'll give you a bit longer to get Prepared and maybe you might save enough of your pocket money for a Raleigh Banana as well as the carbon wetsuit ??
No there is definitely no Ironman in Macclesfield
