• I think i’ve got the bug for this triathlon thing...

    I really enjoyed my first one last year and i’m signed up for 4 this coming season (so far). It all starts this weekend with the inaugural SWYD sprint tri on Barry Island. I couldn’t not do it really, the course goes past my house. It’s a mass sea swim start which i have a feeling will catch a lot of people out. The current in Whitmore Bay is bonkers at high tide, and if you don’t compensate for it then you’re in trouble. It should be great!

    Is anyone else training for events?

  • yep, just back from a week in Mallorca getting some good swim and bike miles in, a few runs too but that wasn't the real focus!

    Windsor
    Bananaman
    Challenge Prague 70.3

    are the next few races, fitness wise i'm all good I think, both swim and bike are about the best they've ever been, run i'm struggling with a niggle in my ankle and carrying too much weight, so focussing on rehab and now really focussing on diet to get that weight down!

  • Mallorca this time of year sounds ideal. I’m in a similar boat really, trying to shed some weight. I’ve always had trouble with my knees when running. I’m sticking to sprint for that reason exclusively. I was training for the Cardiff half marathon last year and it was doing me in. I’m swimming this evening actually and the sun is out, happy days.
