Nice to see you. Your post on supplements is a high quality start. I'm sure we'll soon manage to drag you down however.

Hi there,

Just joined on here, did my first tri a week ago and looking to compete regularly next season with a view to hopefully qualifying for some age-group (20-24) champs.

Just developed a new injury (fluid build up on my knee) which is a bit worrying, but in the process of getting it sorted. Live around the Reading area.

Burn the witch! we've already got a GB triathlete in the ranks which is already un-acceptable!

Welcome Tom a great addition to the Royal County Massive.

Do you swim at Copthorne ?

Welcome to the forum for nutters, Tom. Or is that just me

Good luck for qualifying next year. Hope the knee is sorted soon.

Thanks for the welcome guys, off to the doctors to try to speed up this injury recovery as the daily filling of fluid in my knee is getting a little worrying!
Looking to just do sprint distance first as the brownlee's look far to thin for my liking! I also think I will find motivating myself much easier for this distance! Haven't done any open water swimming yet as I didn't fancy the extra expense of a wetsuit on top of everything else, and my swimming was at the "25m and knackered" level, so thought it was best to stick to the pool- especially as I had the luxury of a 50m for the first few months. Now go to a swim training once a week, and have bought the swim smooth book as well as the triathletes bible to help with some training ideas.

Could possibly be 'Housemaids knee' and I had this last year (I think). Made my knees look even more comical than usual...The local quack drained the fluid then I put on a compression bandage which sorted the matter over the following week
