most triathlete's i've seen are gash swimmers too. come to think of it, most swimmers i see are see are gash swimmers.
running is my nemesis. i get cramp and and a metallic taste in my mouth just thinking about it. the other two bits i'm (relatively) alright at. so i fancied doing a triathlon this year (thinking my slightly unconventional stengths might help me get away to a decent start) but was put off by the need to hit up people for sponsorship again, the expense of wetsuits and running gear and now know i can't compete fixed, fuck it. i think i'll just stick to riding to the pool and getting wound up by the macho splashies there. someone needs to explain to the hairy shouldred sock-fuckers holding up everyone else in fast lane that more splashing does not = more speed.
oh, and that i've come right up behind you because i'm swimming faster than you so you need to LET ME PASS!
sorry.
ranted a bit there.
