I too seem to have suffered from one of those momentary lapses in reason.

I'm in.

Interestingly for me, having run at a national level on the track over 400m back in the late '90s, people seem more impressed with the slow and long nature of the IM distance.

If I'm honest, the 400m training historically seemed much harder than the IM stuff with it causing a lot more pain, suffering, vomit and injury than the slower stuff I now happily enjoy.

Hey, it's the Ironman myth.

Hi all.  I've been quiet of late. Work. Illness etc etc. Anyways...

I'm very happy to say that yesterday I completed the full distance swim in a 25m pool in 72mins. I'm really happy with this particularly given in the first week of Jan of this year I struggled to do 100m without practically passing out.

The secret? Some wonderful advice from here, the Swim Smooth website and a weekly Masters Swim class. So then, what's next for me?

- Half distance event in Sept of this year

- Alp D'Huez Tri in July '14

- Full distance event later in '14, possibly Florida or Western Auz

Thanks again everyone!

All the best people. I see the forecast (as of 14:30 today via Bing) looks set to be sunny and 23 degrees. 

Nice!
