I know where the breakwater is, as I used to kayak down there.

I didn't realise the Breakwater swims were still going. I did the Breakwater relay when I was a teenager way too many years ago! Glad they haven't been a victim of health and safety

Purple, sorry to read that youve not been well. Sounds like a sensible decision not to push it this year, you know you need to be 100% going into the double, and thats the same for physical and mental preparation.

Lots of good shorter events, Wales is spectacularly good, one of the best supported Ironman races out there (cant believe we've got such a good race in the UK). The course is tough but nothing you cant handle, Tenby run rocks.

Thanks for all the advice. I'm still not able to train and have been told not to consider any exercise until I feel 100%.

I've just signed up for IMWales.

The bike ride scares the sh*t out of me but I guess it might cure my fear of hills once and for all !

Purple you might be pleasantly suprised sure there are a few hills but only a couple of resl grinders and the support is so good you want to go up em again
I think the reason IM Wales has a tough rep is its a real relentless course lumpy swim lumpy bike znd lumpy run all make for a relentless course where mental snd physical toughness will see you through.
So you will spank it!
