apart from the stress of wondering if i'd meet the bike cutoff due to time lost on the swim i actually really enjoyed it.
sold the wetsuit as i needed the money! i'm hoping wetsuits have moved on a little now too. need a bit more flexibility in the shoulders. anyway, bonus (a big one hopefully thanks to sacrificing my life and family at the altar of work for a year) at the end of feb. so i'll look at the 2xu butplug ribbed range. they've got fins and everything.
No it wasn't. The skies opened and all your supporters got wetter and colder than they believed it possible to be. 'specially about six hours later when they were dying in 40 degrees...
ta - claire did the site, i've just cut n pasted stuff and ruined much of her good work!
might try to draw some of the threads together over teh weekend. have a small section of "my journey" threads and another for "i've signed up for a tri due to a [drunken bet / i'm fat / my pet died / i wanna be like lance]".
not really sure what else it needs (given my limited time and skills) but it seems to be getting a fair amount of visits.
[snigger] Probably done more mileage this year than the last two but still nowhere near enough. Still, get used to the sight of me wobbling off into the distance Meldy ! Riding over to Princes in the morning with a longer ride on the way home, first OW swim since the Southwater Sprint last year. Bike's racked up in the kitchen, ready to go
Was waiting for you to come steaming past last weekend Bassy, given I went past your front door ...
I'd offer to join you but doing the arvo shift with the little 'uns, so out and back early tomorrow morning, during the worst of the forecasted rain .... might just wear the wettie on the bike ...

I thought you were planning on getting back to your IMDE weight, so surely it would have fit by then?
which actually would not have been too bad if we hadnt have to tread water for 3 hours before hand!!
and stop to gaze around in total bewilderment
it was good though - I think

JD - in between all your furious training you might drop on a few links to our favourites web sites, like the cheap co2 bods at http://www.tyreinflators.co.uk/co2-cartridges-16gm/cat_2.html
