Bala...most expensive training swim ever!

[andyb99]

i did consider it...but i fancied doing liverpool od as it was the first race i did and i feel a bit of affinity towards it so i've entered that..i'll be reet.

outlaw JB

If I wasn't already busy then I'd happily do outlaw, but I can't. However, I'm considering cowman (though I'm at an all day piss up on a bus the day before, so maybe not), bustinskins middle and ely middle. Are you going to practice your IM pacing round liverpool andy? Or are you just hoping for the best?

its a bit difficult cause its a very flat race (i think i did the bike in just over 1.20 last year) but i am planning on using some nutrition in a race scenario...but my pacing is something i can really only practice in training now

that's a great report, from a different perspective i.e. non-competitor. does the race justice.

Sorry Andy I meant Alan.

I think I'd have been with you hiding in the telephone box !

Good report, and those photos, looks more like a coastal swim than a lake

funny how quickly things fade. other than the pain in my legs, it now doesn't seem nearly as bad as it was at the time. the pictures brought it all back, like 'nam veterans' flashbacks. determined not to forget, so that i can use the horror going forward if/when necessary.
