Hello Everyone, Hello Nurse!
Thanks for your reply Nurse.
I notice you don't say anything about the ride!
We have done some open water swimming last year, and will resume when water warms up, and also been doing some swim lessons to perfect our stroke.
We go out for night hikes on the local hills (we live near Aberdeen) to get use to the Hills and have GPS thanks for that tip.
Plan to try a double sit-on kayak, but it is the ride I fear! 54km with 1000m height gained on the route. It's hard to replicate a ride like that anywhere around us!
What was the ride like and how did you find it?
Also, chocolate cake - is this for the finish, or on route?
Thanks for your thoughts,
Dr Nick | |

"Hi Everybody!" Some mates an I are training for a quad, and have been doing some swimming lessons to improve our doggy paddle efforts!! When we said we were training for open water swimming the instructor positively encouraged to come in the wetsuits the next week so we could see how the added buoyancy and slight restriction in flexibility affected us. So I was surprised when it was only me walking out head-to-toe in black rubber, and my mates pointing and laughing!! Ba£&%$ds! Is there any way to look good in a wetsuit? Last laugh was on them though, was really useful being able to practice in the suit! Can't see why there would be a problem in a pool as long as you ask first. Dr Nick. | |

"Hi Everybody!" Lewis (aka Budgie - did I miss where that nick came from?), I hope like Hells you don't mind me hijacking your thread, but I saw you post about the Kindrochit Quadrathlon - I am due to do this next July (2013) with a pal, and wondered if you had any thoughts or tips for me, btw "Don't Do It!" isn't an option, I've already paid! Thanks in advance all, Dr Nick. | |
