I thought I'd get better, relatively, as the race distance increased. I don't, though that may be due to never having done optimal training mileage for the marathon and beyond. Even if I had time I'm not sure I'd want to spend that much time running.

I is triaflete, indeed, Sharkie - but I've always been more of a complete than compete type. Speed is much less important to me than stamina, lack of injury, and to some degree efficiency.
As a rugbyist now, too, and a front row at that, stamina is really where its at, though of course being able to throw in a quick sprint would certainly be a nice surprise for the opposition.

But if you is a triathlete I don't think you can deny you is also a runner! Surely a 5k is the least distance you have to run in a tri?
I understand the complete not compete mindset - but you MUST have to practice, surely? Just to make it easier - more pleasant if you like?

Trying to remember all the things I wanted to comment on from 55 posts but failing.
I am bamboozled by the horse stuff. I can barely understand what the horse is supposed to do even using actual language. How the hell do you communicate all that to a flippin’ horse?
I am very short but capable of a sub 30min 5k. I just looked and I managed sub 25min 3 miles during a novice triathlon 
ION I went out kayaking today. It highlighted for me again how under confident I am in so many things. Apparently my name has been mentioned in committee meetings as someone to become a kayak leader. My response to this info was ‘me???’ 2 different people commented about how supportive I am and that I’m always willing to share knowledge. Hmmm!

Those sound the kind of comments to take on board, hp. Objective observations.
How would you feel about being a kayak leader? Do you fancy it?

I think I have skills and knowledge to offer, however I have an issue I need to overcome before I could do it. I still have a fear of capsizing which makes me very anxious in choppy water etc. It wouldn’t be fair to lead a group when I could be overcome by fear myself.

Have you talked to your fellow kayakers about it?
