put off my long run today as feeling crap this morning...........changed routes several times in my head so that I could run short and then lengthen it if required...in the end it was gorgeous out there and I did 12.8 miles.so fairly ahppy
Love to but I will probably have stay at HPP, the OH will want to come as well! At least I can sit him in the stand or in the bar there, a bit more comfy door him
On other news, I actually managed about 750m in open water front crawl. Yes yes yes Feeling bit more positive. Have swum last 5 days in a row though. Not my idea of fun
EP, can you not wear your normal glasses on the bike? that's what I normally do and there should be an area to leave them whilst doing the swim in prescription goggles.
EP lots of vaseline, rumours say it rots your wetsuit ( probably put around by the manufacturers of body glide at £££££ a pot!) had 2 wetties in15 Years of tri both been slathered in Vas and neither affected
the bike is on generally closed roads but you still need good vision to keep a lookout for your fellow competitors TBH its ironman take your time in transition and put in your contacts the time spent will let you get your heart rate down after the swim
do the race and practice your transitions including sorting your eyeballs but use it as training and do not go ballistic and injure yourself
Haven't been able to train much recently, conbination of bad achillies and starting a new job. Not to worried though, I'll do what I do on the day. Got to set a time on the first one to smash it on the second
BBT, given your biking ability, you could use the wind to blow you round the swim and walk the marathon and still beat most of us. Cracking attitude too!

They have strippers at the swim exit, they are masters at getting a wetsuit off you in seconds
Hope you find some nice new kit and have a great birthday RBM.
EP - have you cut your wetsuit arms short? That helps with getting it off - no further than the taping on the inside seam though.
Happy Birthday RBM
