Just had a quick browse through on my tea-break Conal! Super work - lots of great practical advice and no bullsh*t. Well done to you and Deirdre and whoever else had a hand in pulling it all together. A great resource for new members

Thanks Conal, very useful and the swimming tips are very encouraging.

I've never done a triathalon. I've swam, and done a few runs. This document is a brilliant introduction, and I'm looking forward to completing a long held ambition this year. Thanks for the input and sharing as a newbie !

Nice read in newspaper this week on a journalists journey to doing a triathlon. Learning how to swim from scratch, then doing a few sprints and then an Olympic. I like the way he describes it as a 3 year journey: #1 survival #2 improving #3 getting there
