Nobody is as despised as an outside player in a team who can’t win the contested ball. You look shithouse because other people aren’t doing their job.

He did the Oceania Ironman in Busselton yesterday. Not sure of the time.

His marathon of 3:32 was 112th overall.
The cycling was his weak spot.

“Weak”
Prolly managing heart rate so he actually had the gas to finish the marathon in a decent time?
By “weak” I mean he was 180th overall for swimming, 344th for cycling, and 112th for running.
Given the swim takes 1 hour, the ride 6.5 hours, and the run 3.5 hours, it’s also where he could slice off the most time.

That’s two weird bumps now and I still have no idea why L Don hates Zaharakis so much.
Did your girlfriend/boyfriend say he was hot or something?
I expected him to go under 10 hours.
needs to take time off the cycling leg, maybe he had a mechanical?

Looks like it’s all uphill. No wonder he struggled.

Ha, I had an ex workmate doing this. He was marginally slower than Zaharakis on the swim, 30 minutes quicker on the ride, and then completely blew up after about 20km in the run to finish about 40 minutes down in the end. Perhaps should have ridden more slowly!!

He just rode well within his limits, avg heart rate ~133pbm, that’s base training stuff. Saving it for the run.

Does he have any aspirations to return to the club in any capacity?
He’s in better shape now… By his own admission he’s fitter and stronger, but not as dynamic as when he was playing.
He spoke at a Heppell function last night with Fletch and was surprisingly good, both in style and content.
Hepp himself was more circumspect, but with the benefit of distance from the club, Fletch and Zaka came across as hopeful frustrated fans like many of us. Stringer was debated and Fletch was a little regretful but saw it as a statement. David not only talked about senior players wanting more professionalism, but also the pressure on the coaches to get out of the seasonal fadeouts and the general obligation to get out of 15 years of mediocrity. He admitted his own part in that mid-table failure, compared to other teams falling and rising again.
At a personal level DZ explained that the triathlete world was far more about hustling for every dollar than the AFL days. By way of proof he auctioned off two pairs of his footy boots.
