Taking a break (Barley)

[Barley]

Just to let you all know I have taken a break from CTP2 for a little while, I am training for an Ironman (Triathlon) early July and this is taking all my time, not to mention needing a good nights sleep every night. I miss you guys I used to play regularly but will be back around July/August time.

Hi Barley, good to see you That sounds like an ambitious project good luck with it Am training for the ten bellies contest myself and i know its hard work See you on the battlefield in July/August

Good luck with training .

Yes, Good Luck, I hope you win the triathlon.

Win lol, ill be lucky to finish inside the 15hr30mins cut off, its a 2.4 mile lake swim, 112 mile bike then a 26.2 mile (Marathon), all back to back.

My goal is just to finish but thanks for the support and encouragement. Im not ruling out a game before July/August but its unlikely (ill see if I have time over some weekends).

Today I cycled 50 miles and did a 6 mile run straight after, the training is really hard work, im now training about 14 hours a week.

Ouch! Well, I hope you achieve your goal and more .

Wow! Two hours of hard fought Tennis looks like a cakewalk now.

Good luck!

Hi all, training is going really well. Now training at 15-18hours a week. Regular 15+ mile runs, 100mile bike rides and lots of swimming and other run/bike training.

I have a night off from training tonight and am free for a quick game from 8pm GMT - 1am GMT if anyone is around (should be able to fit a continuation in if needed).

Other than that and maybe a few other odd occasions I should be back to regular play mid to late August.

Sorry Barley, I couldn't make it for a game to day, too much to do. I'm looking forward to a game in the future though.

Good luck with your training and triathlon

the best of luck with training

I did a half triathlon many years ago(just the running and bike bit, as i swim like a lead brick ), so i know how it eats into your free time.
Just try to stay injury free and i'm sure when you get to pop back here for MP, as the guys work on the source code, MP will get better and better
