Yo. Just signed up for this as a practice one before the London one. The swim's only teeny so i'm sure my friends will trounce me (swimming's the only area that i've got an advantage) but hey ho, all good fun.

I'm still masters swimming for 90 mins on thursdays at cally road. also trying to get another hour's set in at the weekends. Sure i'll go a lot more once the evenings start to get a bit lighter and i can use the outdoor pools after work. They do Triathlon swim training at Cally on wednesday nights but I think you have to pay a membership? Not sure. I'll probably stick with the masters though as i'm fond of the team there and I love the variety of mixing up the strokes.
Started running again last week and have been concentrating on getting a better mid/forefoot strike which immediately improved the experience no end. Am happily plodding out a few k without feeling overly stressed now. Time to start gradually upping the distance.
Strangely cycling's the bit that's being neglected at the moment as I haven't finished putting together my road bike yet. Still spinning about town on my fixed 46x18 commuter/beater but haven't really done any long rides for months. Must get that thing finished. It's not easy when trying to keep bike-related under the domestic radar.
