• I am doing the aj bell London triathlon first week of August, is anyone else going? I signed up for the olympic after having one too many beers like everyone else. Really stoked about it though, I have never swam (or ran) actively before and haven't followed a training plan in years. Bit of a learning curve but I really enjoy the swimming part of it! Found a training plan that just focuses on volume, started out last month with 4h each week and peaking around 8h the last month. Should be good! Now I'm on the lookout for tri bars :O

  • i signed up for the sprint event as at the time of application i could barely swim 25 metres let alone 750. been doing swimming lessons twice a week and improved a lot so looking forward to the event! although i'll also be glad when its over to get a bit of midweek social life back!

    have you done any open water swimming yet? i imagine its gonna be completely different to what im used too!

  • Only once so far, in one if the hampstead heath ponds. It was very different, will take some time to get used to. I will be aiming to one OWS a week to get ready for the event. Next one for me will be next weekend, in 12 degree water back home in Norway. Can't wait.
