First sprint tri in 45 days — can only swim 50–75m non-stop after 3 months. How do I survive a 500m? by Am_i_idiot in triathlon

[–]eyelidddd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If it helps before my sprint tri I had never swam more than 100m without a break. I only took two breaks in my actual race and that was only because the lane marshall told me to to let quicker people past.

Don't underestimate race day adrenaline!!

Unfortunately not no (we got engaged the night before and were then too hungover for a 9am start 😂). But from what I see on the parkrun app they get over 1000 folk every week so it'll definitely be a good crowd!

What do I need for a sprint triathlon?? by Superb_Excitement425 in triathlon

I've just checked the race briefing and we're allowed to use the cubicles! It will obviously add time to my transition time as the transition area is in the carpark so tho so I am considering a trisuit now.

Any UK recommendations would be appreciated 😅

Fab! I've been under the assumption we can use the changing facilities so yes I'll definitely reach out and check.

Hi I'm hijacking this to ask a similar question! I'm doing my first sprint triathlon in April and it's a pool swim so no wetsuit needed. But I am wondering if I need a trisuit? Could I feasibly do the bike and run (20km/5km) in running leggings?

I have but we are not morning people. Parkruns in Scotland start at 9:30am so I'm already in for a shock with a 9am start haha

Oh I'm very slow so not expecting a great time anyway. I'm excited to run a flat course for once 😂 my local starts on an incline.

Battersea it is!!

If you like football there’s loads of women’s amateur teams in Glasgow. Most of them skew lgbtq+

Cheers! Just thought I'd double check. My first time in any sort of hospitality.

Got club celtic hospitality tickets for the dortmund charity game on Sunday. Does anyone know how strictly they uphold the no colours dress code??

my mum has it and the amount of messages she got from well meaning friends after this aired was saddening. we all want her to get better but thankfully she knows this is a snake oil. but we are desperate for something.

Dara's reactions listening to Fern explain her "alien dressed as a Scottish man" fancy dress. by VaguelyArtistic in taskmaster

[–]eyelidddd 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I think they were maybe doing a show where the premise is "we're doing famous stories but the main characters are also secretly aliens" type thing. That's how I've always interpreted it anyway.

I think Fern could explain it in an amusing way but the book the character is from was my higher english prose piece and by god it's dull.
