Well it is week 4 of my 'try a tri' course. Week 5 is basically replaced by Christmas, then week 6 is back in the new year, and then... January 9th is it!
We did a complete practice today - 250m swim, 8k ride, 2.5k run. And I survived! Quite reasonably in fact!
I swam at Sandringham on Monday and Wednesday, which is where my race will be, so I feel pretty prepared. There is going to be about 800m to get from the beach to the T1 transition area. Bah! That's nearly an extra leg in itself.
The bay is disgusting. I don't know if it's always like this but the water is really quite gross. Nothing like Bondi at least.
There is a bit of camaraderie with the other people doing the course, especially the women (it is mostly women), which is great. Generally the club does seem quite friendly. Last week at the run session one of the women, Pam, ran with me and told me about how she got into tri and the horror year she had last year with injuries and life interventions and the like. It was pretty impressive. I'm moving to Elwood in January (not sure if I mentioned that here yet) and it will be convenient to be so near the training.
