I read that at first that your hotel has a 200m pool.

Trogs don't fall into the trap of thinking because others are doing this I must be doing something wrong.

Don't worry Cake, my problem is that I know exactly how little I can get away with doing in training and still drag myself to the finish line. I'd just like it to hurt a little less this time around

137days 12hrs 42mins to go!!

How long did it take to demolish.....log it, log it....all minutes count apparently. Or do I have the wrong idea about this training malarkey.

Thanks Chilibean.....the thought of double sessions is a bit daunting.
First swim session tonight in a few weeks. I suffer from a reaction to the water which makes me feel awful for about 48 hours so I have been putting off getting back to it. I have been squirting beconaise spray up my nostrils morning and night for a week to see if it makes a difference. I really hope so.

I get a similiar problem, I assume you mean from the chlorine? You're not asthmatic are you as one of my friends says she gets the same if she doesnt take her inhaler before swimming? I have started taking an anti-histamine when going to the pool (usually after as I don't remember before!).

Lasagna & garlic bread! No swimming.

Carb loading for the weekend!

Hi which witch....no, not asthmatic and it doesn't just happen with chlorine. Open water too. I think I am going to have to resort to seeing what the doctor can recommend as it does get me down.....I tend to have a constant cold if I swim more than once a week.

I get the same problem from swimming. I'm snuffling now in fact and its not just chlorine cos I get it in ow too. I'm also a beconaise addict but run out.

Saffers

The longer I am in the water, the worse it is too. I have a 90 minute tri club session on Wednesday so will continue with the beconaise and see how it goes.

I use it afterwards rather than before Saffers. Not sure if it makes any difference.

Saffers

17/10/2011 at 21:43

I use it before and after Soupy.....my coach recommended I use it everyday and build up the resistance to the water. I would say though, although I only swam for 30minutes and felt awful straight away, I am feeling okay again now a few hours later so maybe it is starting to work.

Thanks Saffers - I'll try that.

Out of desperation tonight I've just taken some antihistamine and I've got almost immediate relief.

Sorry, this is way off topic isn't it. But we haven't started propper yet have we?

Saffers

Soupy, I have done all that and it works for a while but not for long. Even taken day nurse as soon as I come out of the pool. Not ideal.

Blimey - doesn't last for long does it? <snuffle sniff>

Beconaise on the shopping list tomorrow.

Too much swimming in there for me at the moment, did 17 miles on the bike yeserday at a steady pace and was ok,.... today the aching is back again despite the painkillers....... off to see the Physio in shortly so see what they think the problem is. The annoying thing is I want to get stuck into this training program but can't., I've not run for 3 weeks now and I'm itching to get out but don't want to do any more damage..

Saffers, Soup.......I have the same problem (snotty nose) but I put it down to the chlorine because when i swim in a different pool or OW swim I dont get the problem. Have you tried a nose clip, don't know if they work never tried one myself.
