Congrats smoke free! That's awesome! I should go swimming again this week, haven't done anything, only biking and a bit of running. 7 days to the triathlon; it would be a good idea to get 2 more swims in before the race. |

What's your triathlon Tipsku? I've swam (and cycled) more than usual this year due to being injured for running. I've enjoyed the swimming so much, we've booked a Swim Trek holiday next year! |

@smoke free It's half an Olympic distance triathlon in Ravensburg, Germany on Saturday. 750m swim, 24 km (15 miles) bike, 5 km run. It's a hilly course, I expect about 325m of elevation gain. I've trained a lot on the bike in recent weeks because I have a niggly Achilles tendon so my running has been limited. I can run a couple of miles but I don't want to risk anything so I will postpone any longer runs until it feels normal again. I hope your injury heals soon, too. The swim is in a lake. I think I should survive it but it won't be pretty nor fast. About a fortnight ago, I swam 1000m in a lake in about 24:30 minutes. That's about 5 minutes slower than what I used to do when I was younger. |

I'm at checkpoint 3 at last. Hoping to increase my swimming to twice a week now I am in the office every day. This might help me get roughly halfway by the end of the challenge!
