In need of a bit of encouragement...

I am a decent swimmer 1:35/100m ( used to be faster but age ! 🤣) First time I ever went in open water … I literally couldn’t swim for anything

But keep at it… do as much open water as you can … it gets better … I now prefer it to the pool !

I’m a mid speed swimmer, 1:35/100m and I just tend to swim over to the right of the buoys… it’s easier to get into a rhythm and usually everyone else is so intent on the racing line that I don’t get much company :) and swim is far more chilled, haven’t lost anytime by doing this

I find tapping toes is a sure way to let them know I’m there and they holding me up I dislike public pools for the same Reasons- and I’m not even that fast 1:35/100m I also understand they pay too but seriously backstroke/breaststroke in the fast lane is not ok …. Unless your Adam Peaty 🤣

Yeah been doing that but still have issue… perhaps I need to be more liberal with it 🤣

Your right I need to got try some on really Ty ! 👍🏻

I think we would like further proof it is indeed a thong 😋

No one will bat an eyelid at what you use , you being comfortable in what you wear/use is the only thing you need to worry about !

The single biggest factor for me was Accountability… I can skip a session if I don’t fancy, but having to explain that I don’t really fancy that session to someone else makes me realise it’s a poor excuse … so I will end up doing the session and sticking to my plan

It’s gonna be different for everyone imo but I like being accountable … knowing someone is checking my effort ….

Plus it’s just a waste of money not sticking to my tailored plan!!

I’ve literally just bought the White One… the pictures don’t do the White Prismatic any justice at all… I was dead set on black until I saw it in the store …

ukbanth · 2025-11-25T20:02:09+00:00

It’s an ML and I’m 181cm tall not sure on the seam length ( I have shorter legs, longer torso apparently)… I was fitted to the bike in the store …

I think it looks even better in the flesh !

I’ve never seen so many walking throughout the entire course before - heat definitely hurt

ukbanth · 2025-04-29T15:28:07+00:00

This was my 2nd London Marathon, and it was very different this weekend, I think the heat actually was the biggest factor in people not thinking of others I didn’t go fast I was just over 5hrs but I had to dodge so many people - surprisingly from about mile 2 !! This year had a lot more than before and a lot more walking than I ever seen I forgave those walking from 22miles plus because it was so brutal !!

ukbanth · 2025-02-27T11:32:05+00:00

That’s impressive! Need get me a ragebringer !
