So my last error was signing up to a 60 mile sportive 4 days after the arrival of my first road bike.
Now the same person who roped me into that has persuaded me to do a Grass roots Triathlon. In fairness it will be the kick start I need as my aim is to start doing Triathlons. The problem is I can't swim.
I suppose thats an exaggeration I can but its more brut strength and ignorance that allows me to do 2 lengths and I am knackered. I have 3 weeks to be able to do 6 lengths and not make a fool of myself. I am relatively fit so really need technique.
I will be in the pool at 0730 tomorrow (monday) at a stroke technique lesson and possibly 1330 for similar.
Any tips would be great.
I intend to go and buy some try shorts to get used to them as much on the bike and run as the pool.
