I'm excited! I love road trips. Especially ones with craaaaazy people like in the movies. Although I've told them they cant smoke their pipes in the car.
Great reports guys! Sounds like the conditions were much better this year. Awesome job Cougs! Sounds like you had a great day out there.
Plum, I can only think of two things to tell you. First, think about buying a new wetsuit. Maybe yours is just too tight. It should loosen up a bit when you get in the water. If not, then it might be too small. Second, go do a bunch of open water races, even if they aren't tris. If you were hear I'd drag you down to the beach (only two blocks from my flat) for a bunch of open water swims. Plus I'd take you up for the swim to Alcatraz. I think you are just going to have to get used to doing OW swimming in a race scenario by doing it a lot. Either that or doing something even more scary than OW swimming so the next time you do a race its a piece of pish. I recommend skydiving for that. Works for me!
Thanks for all the support chaps - its great to see the comments - you lil' stars you...
I enjoyed Frankfurt so much - I'm going back next year just to watch the race avec famille. Flybe are doing cheap flights - so it would be churlish to refuse.

a few spliffs would make the journey more exciting perhaps.
are you going to get stuck in some wood in some backwater town where they all have hunchback and have married their sisters?

Any pirates flying the flag in 2008 ?
