it will stop them wondering at the briefing AJH...........
did i forget to mention my swim PB of 1:29:50
Thanks Seren - that helps
well done on the PB !
2 cancelled client meetings meant I have snuck in a 1.5K swim earlier - just before the rain arrives I think.
that was in the lake and it was a barmy 21C
Would be great to be able to OW swim at any time, our local pond is only open Thursday nights and Saturday mornings before 9am, not fair
at least you a alke.i have to travel to engerland................
i would love to go in the Taff tonight to see what its like .i bet its flowing slowly after this dry spell
A short run with the dog tonight and a short OW swim tomoorrow to test my rash vest, and that's about it for me..
I am very lucky I have two lakes within 5 miles of me.
Swam in the Tyne tonight. It was lovely and warm which surprised me. Felt good wearing the wetsuit for the first time. Not as easy swimming in peaty water than the swimming pool due to not being able to see more than 2 feet in the water and having to look up for sighting. Stay with a smaller slower group as I had swam last night and this was only meant to be a taster/easier session. Probably ended up doing about 1k or so. Really enjoyed it
Purple I only really want to try for one longer bike on Wednesday now and everything else is small and controlled easy really. Disappointed I haven't managed to fit that real long bike in but hey ho thats how it goes.
Good luck Friday starters.
Also when you get out of the lake and into transition where do you go to get changed? Is there a tent to use or do you goto your own tent and get changed before the bike leg?
Thanks
It might be a little diffetnt this year and we will know in the briefing.....last year the majority went back to their tents or lodges and changed before getting the bikes.....
I didn't change so I went straight to the bike transition and there were some small tents where I left my stuff and dried and got ready in there.....
Morning all,
There's no transition tent to change in but apparently once the races begin on Friday the house is open to all competitors so changing in there somewhere will be an option, otherwise back to the tents I guess, or get someone to hold a towel round you and go for the really dignified approach!

Hmmmm, suspicious of Schmunkee's motivation for such "helpfulness".
10 days to go...
only 2 for Mon.it sgetting closer.did lists yesterday so must start packing today
What her said
Did last big session this morning. 70 mile bike in 4hr 1 min. Ave 17.4mph. Tried to stay on the tri bars for most of it except through the villages and on a couple of climbs left my hands on the elbow pads. Hapy it is all done now and just a gentle tick over until the 10th June. Make sure I don't pick anything up and off we go!
Seren, does that mean I need to start packing tomorrow? Got to look back and see what Dave M said you will need.
Hope the weather stays like this. Bit cooler up here today and no breeze at all.
Go for it Decas!
chilli.packing tomorrow evening to go to the caravan for a week on the way to AT
Getting close now!! Exciting
Sorry I won't be there you guys. I'll be thinking of you though.
Twat it!!
I've said it before and I'll say it again, what her said
short tempo run for me, first tempo run for months. It was good fun
Packed up and ready to pile it in the car tomorrow morning for the off. I'm a bit nervous truth be told, I have an inkling of what lies ahead.
All the very best for everyone taking part.
I haven't the foggiest what makes any of you tick so I have nothing to offer, other than I hope you all keep safe and well, and I hope all of you achieve.
I am in Burley enjoyying a pint of Double Drop at the Queen's head. They're obviously theming the beers for the race, I believe "Deca Doddle" is arriving in the next couple of days
Have a storming 10 days Mon - you'll ace it!
