I'm a member - it reduces the entry fee for races and offers insurance (though never used it). The cost isn't cheap so I suppose as WW says, it depends on how often you race. I'm not a member of a running club so pay the extra unaffiliated fee for running races.
Well, swim didn't quite go to plan this morning. I am absolutely buggered after managing a whole hour of unbroken sleep last night as firstborn is ill. However, I did manage 2375m in 1:05. Tomorrow's another day.
I went ahead and registered for the 2 day, 3 race event in May. Sprint on Saturday morning, Olympic later in the morning, and half iron on Sunday. You only live once right? $152 total for the 3 race bundle so can't beat the price.
although I shouldn't really be running, I have been doing short run/walks on the treadmill a couple of times a week, and concentrating on having a more mid/forefoot strike and it feels ok actually. I have only been doing a little so it isn't killing my calves either
spinning class floowed by masters swim is lined up for this morning
Snow, thats rubbish Nursey. it's been raining here all night so everywhere flooded. Made for an interesting park run. Cant wait to get out on the bike now. NOT.
However, knocked out a 21:59 park run this morning, another PB RunningDog
I discovered today that if i remove my bike from the turbo trainer it can be used as a form of transportation. not sure it will catch on though.
nice 48 miles, warmer and drier than was forcast and found a nice stretch of closed road where I could practice using the tri bars. too scared to use them at the moment when theres traffic about.
oh, and at this mornings weigh in just 1 kg to go and I will no longer be a fatman.
its getting worse, temperature is 1.5-2C above normal- damn mr frag and his germs - think it'll be a sleep for me rather than a run today (this is after sleeping for 10hours last night, should have known something was not quite right)
Am not fighting it you'll be pleased to know. Wen ill I tend to sleep myself better, and am having trouble staying awake at the moment (Having had a power nap earlier!). If Ireland/France was more exciting I wouldn't be struggling so much....

Hour's run in the mist this morning, lovely. Juggling run and bike around this weekend cos of family stuff.
Are you all members of BTF?
I used to be a meber .. but i dont realy race any more ... so no longer bother with membership
I'm a memeber of the Scottish Triathlon Federation! Mainly as I'm racing abroad this year, so the insurance comes in handy!

IY, that looks fantastic!
3k swim today in about 1.09 - so nursey you win our virtual swim-off was a bit slow by my recent standards, but I'm still pleased
IT - that looks plain silly
IY that looks like fun
Yanky that looks like a damn fine weekend if you ask me!
Nice swimming ladies
I went and did another run technique class which seems to be finally making sense and I can feel a change in my running, hopefully for the better !!
5 hrs work to go and then off for a few days

Sinuses full of goo this morning . Hoping its after effects of the long swim yesterday and not mr frag's manflu
Supposed to be long run and short ride today, am leaving it a while for my head to drain first...

Good work running dog
Thanks.
Just been for a grim 2hr 15min ride. Worst ride i've had in a long time. Taken me over an hour to stop shivering, cold & wet.
Pleased i didnt bin the ride, despite thinking of it every 5 minutes.
Honk, i was the same with my tri bars, you wont think anything of it after a couple of goes. If your way too wobbly though, just fit them a bit wider.
Well done anyone who's making a training effort today, it's not nice.
its getting worse, temperature is 1.5-2C above normal- damn mr frag and his germs - think it'll be a sleep for me rather than a run today (this is after sleeping for 10hours last night, should have known something was not quite right)
frfaggle - lots of rest and fluids, get well soon
I have done a spinning class, masters swimming session and a 2 hour fast walk in the yucky weather
+1 to Mathschick there Fraggs ... dont fight it
I am steeling myself for a long bike tomorrow although I am favouring a 3 out/2 in ratio of hours at the moment!
Havent done anything day, just off nights and didnt sleep that well so had a lazy afternoon
Should really be getting my ironing out of the way but I need surgically removing from the settee !!
I make a point of never sitting on the sofa until it is time to relax in the evening as I know I willl never get up again!
Unfortunately after nights is quite hard to get out of bed let alone off the sofa!!!
I did have a nice wander up the village and I am watching th rugby so its almost active
