That'll be some competition for you
The field will be a made up of a good few triathlete, a few general athletes, a load of rowers who do nothing but row and a few others in it for something to do. It's a good mix with all sorts turning up. If I can find some entry figures so far out I'll let you know
Really makes the difference watching your figures on the computer I find.
Average splits of 2.14 - you should be able to get that down to 2.00 min in the next month. Save even more time then
I'm injured at the moment so can't use the rowing machine (arm injury) but I'm hoping to do the row at 1.46-1.48 per 500 10.36-10.48 But I'll loose so much on the bike it's untrue
Can't see me getting down to 2.00 mins though ! Waaaaay fast ! ;-)
GOtta be a cyclist out there somewhere ??
So anyone interested? There's a team coming up from Bedford (two teams I think)
I'd be tempted to do the roadie-ness for a team...
Alas.. its the frolic gathering in london that w/e...
Sorry!!!
I've got my office Xmas party on the Friday - I think I'll have to be sensible for once !

both will give you listings of up and coming events, icluding the 'rowathons' you have been talking about.
give one a try. you will be hooked. promise.
The run is a little different and judging my my time maybe a little over 5k. It's a 3 and a half lap afair with lots of little turns in it so you can see where you are in relation to other people. I ran the whole thing in 21.50 with an average heart rate of 164 - so not flat out.
There are 8 x 180 degree turns in each lap. Sounds really weird I know but wait until you see it. It's also sipplery on one part of the course as well, running under some trees, I'm not sure if that was because it's pouring though.
Now I've run the thing I reckon I could do it in about 19.30.
Spoke with the rower about the rowing machine aspect and he seems pretty keen. My arm is better now so if there is no cycling interest by friday night I'll pay my race fee on Saturday morning.
Just got a HRM working for the fiorst time in years so I'll do some exercise with it to see what my HR is with running. I don't think I;ve ever used it outside of a bike.
I'll wear it to my spin class tomorrow and see how that goes !
1st one the turn at the top of the lap and the rest come running up and down ramps for peeople with push chairs (each lap you go over 2 bridges)
It's quite hard to explain but it's great for seeing where other people are.
That said, my recolection last year is that every time I had to change direction i nearly had to stop to do so and it was bloody hard to carry on again, I'd never done anything like a tri before and I've not since.
So between running to the gym, the row, the spin class and then running to work - I've had a mini-tri already ! Phew !
Sounds like you've done a full tri not a part one to me
Club run tonight, going to take it easy though, done a weights session this morning and 30 minutes on the rowing machine.
So we have two people up for the event now? 3 including myself. Anymore lurking around here?
