Run lots, swim lots, cycle lots.

Pool based Tris were always miserable and staggered which was dull.
Sadly the Ironman I did had the swim slightly reduced because of the very low temperature, and this was before wetsuits. It was so cold we had to have a quick medical before we carried on. And we were given hot Ribena as we came out, which I threw straight over my shoulder as my arms hadn't calmed down.
Anyway I met someone from here who was training for the Ironman and he became pretty shitty when I told him I had done one, I told him about the swim and he then told me that technically then I had never done an an Ironman and was literally prodding me to make me admit I'd never done one. He was a twunt.
He sounds like it.
The staggered thing doesn't really appeal to me, I think I'd be much more inclined to push myself if I knew where I was in the standings. I'll see on Sunday I guess, but I'm sure I'd be spurred on by being around the quicker runners.
The appeals totally gone for me as well. When I did that event I'd also been racing road, done marathons, ultras you name it I did it. So I decided to have a rest.
That rest lasted years, I smoked, drank and got fat. Never want to be there again and I'm still fat.
"Run lots, swim lots, cycle lots".
Thanks njee20 never thought of that.
Are you a full time coach?
