I did one a few years ago, it was an amazing thing to work towards and smash out.

It's a 1.2 mile (1.9 km) swim, a 56 mile (90 km) bike ride, and a 13.1 mile (21.1 km) run.

I'd never done a triathlon before so a rude awakening in terms of training for three things at once. I finished around 5 hours 30 which I was reasonably happy with. I'm never going to do another one but nice thing to check off.

It's a bloody long way... I think training for a full ironman would be a full time job

I've gone with Scarlet Grace and will use it as an entry point for the rest of the series.

I'm also worried I'll lose Chaos Rings 3 like I did the earlier two when Square pulled them...

I really love the look of it but may sharpen my teeth on Scarlet Grace, then go to Romancing SaGa 3 then 2.

Husikam

Are you just going in blind on Saga 2 or using a guide?

---

Husikam

The Romancing series is daunting.

Keen to pick up one of these, your fav?

The dream.

A year of travel ahead, then we can settle and get dogs.

I've been excited all year for this, we're going tonight.

I've never played either but love the look of both.

Your fav would be appreciated.

50 years is nothing really.

It's worth doing proper research into a wine before aging it, leaving wine willy nilly through your house for years is a recipe for disaster. Tannin, acid, sugar etc will all contribute to aging. Cork condition, temperature, light exposure blah blah, a lot of variables.

Bad wine will rarely become good if left for a long time.

A good wine won't necessarily become great but will change for better or worse.

I'd guess around 5:30 - 6:00.

Sorry to be clear - I love swimming at the beach/rivers and when it's hot out, I'm specifically meaning doing lengths at a pool solely for fitness.
---

Husikam

I enjoy running more to an extent but don't love it. I did a few marathons a few years back and tend to fall into "the zone" when I start running and the kms melt away but have yet to hit that with swimming.

The changing landscapes/dog watching makes running a bit more enjoyable.

Mad respect to the athletes who can swim 6 days a week, mentally you are super bloody tough. Back and forth, back and forth, back and forth.

Twice a week I swim my 2.5km and dread it more than any other fitness I've got on.

This and Knives Out are leading the charge for my most anticipated for the rest of the year.

It looks nice... but no, not really.

It also just ends, I think Refn just kept shooting until they ran out of money.

Have you seen his tv show that came out this year Too Old to Die Young?
---

Husikam
...Believes in Patterns

I utterly loved Only God Forgives, a lot more so than the Neon Demon which was fine if you dig his style but oddly shallow.
---

Husikam
...Believes in Patterns

We're old now, man. Pushing 30, what the fuck.

Next year after we've knocked out some travel we'll hunker down and smash out some sproglets.
---

Husikam
...Believes in Patterns

Oh sorry - I read closer.

Yeah work life balance goes completely out the window, no idea how we'll do it when we have kids soon.

2 or 3 months a year during peak winemaking season it's expected we do 80-90 hour weeks.

If it needs to done it's surprising how long people can work with no complaints.

Specifically with no wifi.

Got a hankering...

I don't live near a decent cinema so I've only seen two films from 2019 and neither was particularly good. There's lots I want to watch but they'll probably wait until next year. Anyway The Secret Life of Pets 2 was better than Men in Black: International.

I'll just stick to my old sex films I think

MIB was an utter travesty and unfortunately highlights outside of Thor that Hemsworth struggles to be a leading man.

probably Gully Boy.

I also really enjoyed John Wick 3 and Us.

John Wick 3 was so much bloody fun.

Midsommar was great, although I didn't love the ending.

I felt the same about Hereditary. I almost wish the director (forget his name) would get a writer in instead of doing everything as he's awesome but this seems to be the weakest point.

Endgame was a bloody blast, def top 10.

Us has probably stuck with me the most.

Closely followed by Once Upon a Time... and a small film called Come to Daddy.

I'm training about 15 hours a bloody week right now so all my usual podcasts aren't quite getting me through. More top shelf shit would be greatly appreciated.

For movies I listen to Mad About Movies which I love as it has the perfect mix of news and reviews.

For wrestling I've been listening to Between the Ropes. Brian Fritz is an utter dork but it's a good way to keep up with what's going on without actually watching anything.
