Busy on this thread this weekend I see. Visit to FiL yesterday so no training, crammed it all into today.

Catching up the comments are
2XU tri shorts, wore some Altura bike shorts today, not good at all. Race will be in the 2XU's.

Well done Cat, I can imagine you tweeting on a run, good award.

MC, I was brave and OW swum this morning, the lake was 12degrees so did 3 x 400m loops.

I did my practice nutrition bike ride, 30 miles in 2 and a half hours, all went OK apart from the shorts.

Finished off with a total of 6 miles walked, looking at bluebells.

My feet ache, feel very tired, dinner is in oven, so early night is on the cards.

Razor, I only did 2x400m laps for my first OW swim this year.

Chilibean, chill out and take it easy.

ST, good start, don't overdo it, I remember you being very enthusiastic before.

Emma, have you looked at the race photos yet. I look OK in the cycling ones, one of the run into T1 is showing me looking slim but the run finish ones are just awful as usual.

I have cycled and achieved 13.4mph as an average. 
I did what I call my little loop which is 13 miles and decided that I would treat it like a time trial but still obeying the highway code. Felt good but still ended up with oily mark on right leg from front chain ring, no idea how I manage that each time, only thought is its my terrible way of getting off. Nice to be out in sunshine today.

Southern Snail, I am going to Thorpe on Sunday, hope to do 1600m, I increase a 400m loop each time I go, so that I feel I am making progress.

I also have decided not to worry about the hill, I know that I walk up 17% and 20% hills so am hoping I could cycle up anything less.

Cake I might need the drink on the run again.

Looking forward to being more sociable afterwards this time, last time it was getting late and by the time I had got back to the tent and sorted myself out I just went to sleep.
