I love them. Never as much as just open water swimming, which has always come naturally to me, and I'm not a fan of running so i suppose my relationship is complicated in facbook terms.
Last 'season' I was either injured or too busy with work or not in the uk so missed it bt this year I'm signed up for the London and a few more. Might go to Wales to do off road tri will do xtt again, really worth it. And have big plans for a Half ironman in the new year.
But well we'll see. Injuries have not been kind this year and it is mostly due to poorly thought through training regimes.
On the jack of all trades bollocks I disagree. Top tri athletes are plucked from excelling in one/ two of the disciplines and then train damn hard to get to A competitive level in the others.
I will always accept that I am master of none, but to be master of all is essential for a top class triathlete.
