When will the lakes open? I know the OW location by me is open all year but when will it be warm enough for swimming without gloves, boots, anything other than the wettie?

First swim last year (end Apr) was advertised as 12deg, but was waay colder than that. 1 750m lap and I couldn't open my hands. There were rumours of days in the summer when wetsuits weren't needed but I didn't see it!

not too long to wait then, i'm getting a bit bored of the pool and looking forward to a longer session in the lake. Better half is looking forward to it too, i think it has something to do with there being a nice chippy on the route home.

IY, nice!  Which book was it?

Nice one hour night run along canal yesterday.  Well, along towpath.  Along canal would be too extreme.

Finally feeling like I'm getting over this lurgy, and I *may* attempt a little run later (obvs taking easy melds!)

I'll be biking this afternoon, but whether it's outside or turbo remains to be seen.  I'm doing lots of neck exercises - looking out of the window every 5 minutes.

Feck

snow.

Going to do my best to hit scheduled 3hr ride today, but between family chaos I reckon it'll be split between turbo and outside.

" I'm doing lots of neck exercises" good girl

Well done on the cycling. Done just over 3 hours today. Didnt intend to do but due to hurricane head winds i was slowed down somewhat.

My avg pace dropped by about .5 mph today, it wasnt about speed it was about getting out there and JFDI

I did Chrissie's 97 minute Audiofuel session.  Can't get that Kings of Leon song out of my head, but I don't think their lyrics were "Your legs are on fire".

PS Good pedalling guys

lol Nursey - that's one of my favourite 'versions' of that song

 

30 mins run at a very pedestrian pace - feel well knackered now, and at the "I can;t watch" stage with the rugby

 

most impressive cycling Melds

Tri2O opens 21 April me thinks. And i swam a couple of times last year when its was 22 degrees...very nice, but a dim memory at the moment!!

Just bought myself a TT, hoping it will give me more then long enough time to get used to it before the outlaw.
