Es gibt einen Iren (gavinnoble.com), der hofft es triathletisch nach Peking zu schaffen. In seinem Blog erzaehlt er folgende Geschichte vom Trainingslager in Spanien, die auch von Kompressionsocken handelt:
"Fuente Alamo duathlon yesterday - 2nd. It was slightly longer this time - 7k/30k/3.5 - and it was all goin well until 20k into the bike - I led the first run and was making time on the bike when my seat post started to slip, I had to ease off as anytime i put major pressure down it slipped further and further - only I hadnt cleaned last weeks number off I think it would have gone right down ..... so I was caught at 20k and spent the remainder of the ride largely out of the saddle. On the run my hamstrings were not feeling great and it took me a while to get into it ...... 2nd though was a good enough result. The winner im told is a former 3.40 1500m dude so he has plently of speed for that final 3k.
After the race, 'the Giz' suggested we eat in town - he had found an English bar to watch the Ireland-England rugby earlier than evening. I went to prize giving and then we went there for some food. Thats were we met Shane. I first encountered him in the toilets ....
"alwite geez, due know you have a plaster stuck to your jam roll "
"what did you put it there for" I asked
"oi didnt put it dare did I ...... wots your name? " "oim Shane" he said as he came back out of the loo.
"how many miles you do today then?"
around 7 running and 20 cycling I told him
"bloody ell, more than ive dun in me car mate" "you win ? how much did you make then?"
enough to buy the guys dinner I told him .... "ooh lav ley" he said
"so this ur job ? how much you have in the bank then?" Before I could make up an answer he hit me with ..... "wot u make of that black geezer then" - I was a bit confused at this stage and just wanted to get out ...
"Chambers mate, wot u think of that bulldog then .... they are all at aint they"
"this is how I feel wite, you get caught by the law or summit, you serve ur time and so you should get a second chance, be that drink drive, GBH or what eva" (i felt he was about to tell me something I didnt really want to know and I really just wanted to get to my table alive)
I made it out of the toilets and chatted him as I made my way to where the boys were sitting. 'so how come your here in fuente alamo then ?' I asked
"oi crossed the sink 8 years ago din I; in construction, got myself an old farm house, play a bit of golf in the afternoon, im 38 and single, more ass than a toilet seat, no mortgage; Fuente Alamo is where it all kicks off at night in these parts mate ..... you coming out later, or shud i say tomorrow morning, Spanish time, know what i mean ?..... maybe ill catch up with you after youve got yourself a shower and youve changed out of those tights ...." (I had my 2xu compression tights on after the race and you could see them under my board shorts)
'ok' i said 'maybe, ill see you later'
Phew, I made it to the table and the boys and I had some food before heading back to Aguilas. Steph (the barmaid originally from Maidstone) had just brought over the bill when I heard ...
"you not like your lettuce then" (shane)
'hey, hows it going, no Ive just finished ... you can have it if you fancy it ...."
"only lettuce youll find me eating is in a Big Mac mate ! ..............oi dont believe we have met ...... whats your name geezer ?" He introduced himself at the end of the table to James and Darren.
"you boys up for a big night then ? "
being polite we asked where was good to go in town
"oh for just an Ayrton Senna you get loads of places mate ...... as I said to this fella earlier, you come down after you got cleaned up and hes changed out of them tights ..." there was a bit of a giggle at my expense around the table
"mind you, didnt do Robin Hood any harm did it eh"
Steph came back with our change. "sorry steph love am i in your way ......" "oooo thats got to hurt aint it" he said in her direction as she left the table. James looked at bit confused at what exactly he meant by that ????
"as i was saying, come on out, loads of little Spanish things walking about, if you into that sort of thing, you know, dark skin ....... big bowjangles .... "
'whatever do you mean - bowjangles ?" James enquired
"ooh you know, Bojangles .... tits mate .... thats a world known word innit"
'been around the world have you?" James asked
"oive seen a few things yeah, know what i mean "
"alwite geezers ill see you later"
yeah, catch you later on ......"
