Good luck Mike.

The flow in the river will be pretty rapid, so on the way downstream (first leg) keep as central as possible as that’s where it’s fastest, you turn at the bridge and you’ll be travelling quite fast so move over and prepare for the turn nice and early, then on the upstream hug the bank as close as you can, as the water flow is slowest here, if you aren’t touching the boats you’re not close enough!

Thankfully with the current course you do about 80% downstream and 20% upstream so the fast flow should help you more than hinder you!

Then Enjoy the bike!

Thanks Ed. That's the opposite of what I'd come to believe actually. The first leg you swim East towards London and then you turn back at the bridge. I figured the leg towards London would be upstream, but you're saying it's the other way around?
Good luck in your IM too, that's great stuff.
