First tri in May...

[flissh]

and I'm as scared as @*!$.
Training has been going well(ish). Had a bit of calf strain which was a setback. Now got a pain in left shoulder, which I can still swim with and does not hurt on the bike or running.

Anyone else doing one in May? There seem to be a lot about.

Doing my first in May only Sprint distance though.

Been focussing on the cycling so far do need to get a bit of running and swimming in before the event though.

400M swim, 17.5km bike, 4km run.

Don't be nervous, you'll love it.

There's nothing like the rush and sense of achievement when you finish.

There addictive though, once you've done your first you'll be looking for the next one!

I'm doing the slateman in May.

All the best for your first.

Good luck TeeQue.

Mine is only a sprint. 400m swim (I thought it was 750m and have been training to that!!) 25k cycle and 5k run. Hoping to do an Olympic in September if the May one goes well.

Swam and ran today, lovely out in the sunshine.
