Title: Try a tri2
Post by: MG1 on May 27, 2011

I spotted this and thought it might interest some on here, think i might give it a go myself. The swimming will kill me though. :'(

i would struggle with the swimming so if it was last i would definitely sink  :-[

what the team bit, is that a discipline each or 2 guys carrying me around the whole course? maybe we could ressurect the winebags and bring along our official photograher lenny

I'd be well up for it Liam. I think the swimming is first.

I'd have no bother now jumping on a bike for 15k or to run for 5k, but after 2 lengths of a pool I am punctured.  Ok clearly I'm a poor swimmer but do the three activities seem balanced to others?

Those BikeDock Belles are hardcore!

I think the swimming will bust most people but its not competitive and its for charity. I don't think i've ever swam 30 lengths of a pool, so i could possible fail before i even see a bike. :D
