I need to staynear home for the kids, come and have a swim bike run with me and smithy, distance swim, 6 hours on the bike then a 10k or so run........ be lovely
I just had a coached session with Richard Stannard. I can hardly lift my arms*. Seems I was getting verrrry lazy!
*Don't let that put anyone off a session with him though - he said he kept me swimming an awful lot more than he usually would so that I wouldn't get cold without a wettie. I'd definitely recommend a coaching session with him.
Yes yes he definitely does - anybody! He'll do really basic stuff for those new to OW/tri or more advanced stroke stuff for those who are OK in OW.
I spoke to a lady in the changing room and it was only her second OW swim today - her first was a session with him. And he said to me recently that he coached someone one-on-one who needed to go right back to basics in terms of breathing etc. So he takes all levels.
Not sure when I'm next down there at the weekend but I'll look into it and see what we can do. Maybe he'll give the novices a discount for our autographs now we're famous..

I will come along too then, if for nothing else than advice as to how the hell I get into my wetsuit.
Alright if I tag along??
We'll be hanging round one of the benches waiting for you. Im the tall good looking one Firestars the skinny ginger with a mustache.
not sure how on earth I'll get up at the crack of dawn. It's against my religion.
Oh I see, you wanted reassurance ;o)

I think we'll be aiming for 7am swim start so I will be loitering near the benches from 6.45ish. I'll be wearing my pirate hoody so you cant miss me.

sahll I bring some cake ? )
