Let the training begin

Time is ticking down to the start date (Sun 18th) for my training plan. 'you have one? well thats an eye opener'. Well actually I don't have one but it starts Sunday. Top of the plan is to get to swim better and the first step was an open water swim session with a proper triathlete. Thats why I found myself upto my neck in a cold lake at 7am last Saturday morning. So first tick, test new wetsuit. It works hurray. Next tick to get is to pick up my running to a decent distance again. ohhh and make a plan. ohhhh and stop being such a wuss. Rick (full on triatlete and awesome fit guy) showed us how to turn a bouy, sight and breathe, get the wetsuit off and experience close quarter swimming. It was great fun
