But help is at hand. Well-known Monte aficionados John Guy, Adrian Ladbury and Neil Smith have decided to create a new form of entertainment - and one that is highly suitable for the credit crunch. They are taking part in the Iron Man Half Marathon.
Now, let's remember that these guys are in the 40s and have between them probably propped up more hotel bars than they would care to admit while working and schmoozing in the re/insurance space.
So they are on the wagon and in training as we speak in order to raise cash for prostate cancer.
Many of you will know John well - he is doing the running on the Sunday, 6th Sept, the final leg a 21 km run. Adrian is swimming 1.9km and Neil has a 90k cycle. The best time to catch them is during the final run which should be between 11.30 and 1.30, when the half marathon is underway round the streets. It is in a three mile loop, I am told, including a climb up from the harbour to the Casino Square five times including the finish.
So it is time for us to empty out our wallets for them. To sponsor this mad dash in the mid-day sun go to http://www.justgiving.com/jonguyironman/. Or at least put down your €10 coffee at Casino square and go and watch - then buy them all a beer at the end.
