It's not going to be good ......

OK, I admit it, I've blown it and it's not going to be pretty. My main concern is surviving the swim. You see all of August I did little or no swimming (well any training actually). In fact the 750m swim at the beginning of August was the only decent distance swim. Now I just want to get a few 2000m swims in to prove to myself I am not going to cramp up on the day or get into trouble in the middle of a lake. If I can do this, then the bike should be OK for about 40 miles and I'll see what happens for the remaining 16 miles. Maybe I'll take a fiver at stop at a pub!

The run will just be a painful shuffle I'm sure. Probably better to think in terms of run/walk I think.

The fourth disipline is nutrition. One of my podcasts covered this and it says the body can take in about 250 calories/hour. Thats about 825 calories for the bike and 500 calories for the run. Now all I need to do is work out how to do it and how to carry it all!

Today I went to K2. K2 has an olympic pool. It's awesome and I am probably the worst swimmer in the pool! Still I managed to crank out 2200 slow metres.

Onwards ......
