Never done a triathlon, but have just set myself a target of doing an Ironman 70.3 in 2014.
Does a half qualify for joining the pirates, or do I need to be aiming higher (I.e. full)?!
Will be doing tri taster session in Blackpool in May to break myself into it gently, and then looking to up my game over time.
Running I can do, biking I can do, but swimming....meh, it'll take some work to get up to any reasonable standard me thinks!

'Joining' is an attitude

You should always aim high, how high is down to you

Cheers Meldy, duly noted!

Is philosophy all part of being a pirate too then?

JR3 - being a pirate has a lot more to do with the ability to sink a skinful of beer at the following day's after-race party! Pirates race hard and party twice as hard.

Pirates race hard?! Since when?!

A few notable exceptions - Mon, Rosey, Funkin, Melli, CD, etc - but here's a reason we are always the last people in the stands at the Finishers chute - always waiting for most of us still to finish!

Beer after a big event has always been an important part of the day for me, so I'm pretty sure I can cope with that!

Just looking at getting a tri or two in the diary for this year. I have the taster event in Blackpool in May already, and am considering Lancaster (28th july) or Ullswater (13th July) too.

Can anyone particularly recommend either of these? Or suggest any others around this time?
