TBH, I'm not sure if I'm a 'triathlete'. I like running, cycling and swimming, amongst other things. Seems, if your an adult the most accessible way of improving your swimming is through a tri club.
I guess I'm a not very good runner, who cross trains with cycling and running, who's dabbling in tri?
I've found I like aquathons, but I'm still not convinced as to doing all 3 disciplines on the same day.
I mean, I like pulled pork, rhubarb crumble and eggs florentine. Don't think I'd like them all on the same plate?
I'll find out over the summer (about tri, not single plate dining!)
