I was thinking I was going to breeze the swim, having previously competed at county level, but then my wife pointed out that it was over half my life since then.....
Got back in the pool today and it was hard work; I did 1k in a mixture of crawl and breast stroke. I'm going to get in there twice a week at lunch time until I can do the whole thing in crawl. At the moment I'm concentrating on my breathing.
Also, when i get closer to the event I'll be getting some specific open water swimming in at a local ressie.

I've got my first sprint Tri later this summer in Eton. I've run half marathons and 10 ks before, but my only cycling is commuting (although that's nearly 50 miles a day). I used to swim for my county as a kid, but I'm going to need a lot of training for that part.
I'm only signing up for the one this year, butif I enjoy it I'll got for the thames turbo, Eaton and London next year.

Just found this thread, and am glad to see I'm not the only cigar smoking cyclist.
I was cigarette smoker until I went to Cuba a couple of years ago. I've since quite the fags and now just have the odd cigar on a weekend. I've not had many over the winter because of the weather, the smoking laws and the fact that I don't smoke in my house.
However, at the moment I'm maturing approximately:
40 HdM Petit Robusto
20 Monte No.4
25 Partegas D4
2 Cohiba Maduro 5 Magicos
2 Cohiba 200 Piramides Limited Edition Maduro
2 RyJ Short Churchills
2 Partegas Shorts
25 Ramon Allones Specially SelectedRoll on summer & BBQ season.
That's a brilliant idea, I'll make sure I fall for it when I see your requests coming in......
