Scott's chat page

It is a pretty solitary existence on the road sometimes, so please send me a few words about anything at all, tell me how you are doing in triathlon, ask me any questions, whatever you want....just remember to leave your name and I'll get back to you!

Your message to Scott:	To stop hackers, the numbers you see:

14/12/2009 10:14:05 Hi Scott, Great race in Australia. Should be useful in your quest to find a new sponsor. Have a good Christmas. Kevin Adam
10/12/2009 09:50:43 Race report to follow - just back with net access In Perth (Oz)- not my comments below but thankyou for all the texts, posts & emails. Scotty
08/12/2009 14:48:02 Just read your diary! If you're still in Perth give us a shout, I work in the city centre. M-0422 985 684 Work- 9320 0614 Simon (the Scottish, Cannons guy) My dad still sends me the P&J cuttings of you!
08/12/2009 14:34:02 Hi Scott, how are you doing? Brilliant result at Busselton, I should have checked and I would have come down and said hi. I did it 2 years ago and i'm planning on next year. I live South of Perth now. Not sure if you remember me- Simon Prue, used to work at Cannons in Aberdeen
08/12/2009 06:15:42 Well done at Busselton, nice result for a real stinker weather wise. Someone said you saw a shark on the Busselton swim course, I would have been petrified if I'd known a shark was out there. I always swim happily ignorant of the marine life at Busselton. I'm glad I only found out today, if I'd known during the swim, I'd have been running on water to get off the swim course. Best luck with your next one. DT
07/12/2009 15:01:11 Scott - awesome result in WA. Really chuffed for you as it looks like you really put it together down there. We have chatted a few times in Kona and it's nice to see you having a good day. Onwards and upwards for 2010 and hopefully see you at Lava Java again next year. Tim Bishop
06/12/2009 15:56:13 Hi Scott, Excellent race result at Busselton . The temps must have been a bugger! All that hard work and sleeping with 2 cats paid off. Geoff Vine ( Simon's OLD Dad)
05/12/2009 19:55:17 Good result Scott. Nice to see your the fastest ironman in a kilt again! Steve S
05/12/2009 15:51:25 Well done thats, a solid performance, vernay's fast. Great swim performance too.
05/12/2009 08:30:45 FANTASTIC effort Scott. Hope that gets you a team for next year. Enjoy the Podium Colin & Linda
05/12/2009 06:29:13 Well done son - just watched you finish. Mum, Dad and Mhairi
18/10/2009 21:42:48 Hard lines Scott - good effort and great to know you are up there! Another crack at it next year and a bit of luck - who knows! Cheers Andy R
13/10/2009 21:13:48 Brave effort Scott. I know you wouldn't give up for mortal pain issues. Sounds like it has given you confidence though, so we look forward to the 2010 reports. Kevin Adam
11/10/2009 23:40:03 Ive used keywin pedals for 2 seasons now & cant see my self changing. There New Zealand made - I believe Cat Morrison, Bryan Rhodes & Terrenzo Bezzona all use them. There the lightest pedal on the market If you include the cleat weight ie Time's sales pitch is "the lightest pedal" but doesn't include the cleat weight that accompany's the pedal. I think there made from a compound plastic (check there website) but there stiff (good transmission)& can be adjusted to fixed or float position. Also you can purchase in standard axel size, +3, +6, -3 -6mm axels which I dont think other company's offer these ranges(just standard off the shelf). So depending on your hip width (or abnormality in say in 1 leg) you can be more precise in a better transmission alignment of your anatomy - I use the -3mm - It should be noted that your shoe width may limit your use in the smaller axel size's (crank rub)
11/10/2009 23:09:06 Hi Scott, it was really good to hear you mentioned at the weekend, looking good.Sorry it ended the way it did.I was wondering if you could say something about keywin pedals, kris gemmell swares by them.How do they differ from any other pedal? Cheers Maatt
11/10/2009 21:29:29 Hi Scott, Sorry it ended the way it did. We were following the race in Aberdeen into the small hours and every now and then you got a mention so we could tell you were top 20 or thereabouts. As you say, top drawer swim-bike. Very courageous and quite awesome to see your name in among the greats. Good luck for recovery and the next one. Mend strong. Dave E
11/10/2009 11:22:13 I suffered minor stomach issues on the bike to bad stomache issues on the run, dehydration & sun stroke. I lost all my bike nutrician on a bump in the first mile of the bike & had to resort to what I get at the aid stations (a mix of different gels & a lot less than my planned Intake) this I believe led to the start of my stomach issues (chocolate & cappuccino gels are not good). I had reworked plan & held about 80% of what i took in, & still rode well I thought. I caught Graves in the last mile or so of the bike & was in the transition tent with Johannsonn & Potts. I started the run well enogh for what 6-7 hrs of run training in last 6 weeks (0 for 4 & time in the last 2 weeks). I had strong pains in my kidney from the beginning before I started to regurgitate most of my stomach. I walked most aid stations & but couldn't keep anything down, I also lost the art of running a straight line but I survived until mile 13. The medi van followed me for a a good few miles & the camera crew tried to get me on camera in one of my bad spells but I think I escaped them. After being sick for what I think was 20th odd time, I was cooked, burnt & my the en-set of my calf injury was starting to flare up, I was done. Kapuut. I not down beat I quite optimistic with the performance I was up there from the start so I look forward to the next one.
11/10/2009 09:04:11 What happened pal? Was tracking you until you started the run then went to bed! Looked like you were going well!
10/10/2009 03:37:17 Wishing you a good race tomorrow from all in Kelowna.

03/10/2009 00:18:29 Im lightest Ive been as triathlete so maybe hitting good form at the right - The training location & weather there was perfect With mums home cooked meals & free laundry service.. it doesn't get any better.
02/10/2009 11:24:00 Hi Scott I hope your preparations are going well for the big one. Good Luck Kevin Adam

03/09/2009 13:01:42 Sorry Scott, got confused in your last response to me, I thought it was Thomas H signing off the comment rather than your good self! Apologies and good to hear from you. I agree, Graves has a very strong track record on the bike, and his swim and run times over the full IM distance have surprised everyone too, including Stephen B I'm sure. Very interested to see how he will go on at Kona.
