Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

Back on the watt bike this morning and more yoga. I can 100% confirm I have more hamstring flexibility than at any point in the last 10 years. The same may apply to my hips.

Still doesnt matter if my legs still fall apart racing but....

Just need to get strong in the new ROM Gobi (which I'm sure you're working on).

Race well tonight.

Hello triathletes. Not sure if I’m asking on the right thread, but hope you can help.

Has anyone done Blenheim Palace tri? I’m having a go on Saturday and am v v v nervous. What’s the course like? Any advice?

Also, has anyone done Royal Windsor? Thanks doing that one in 2 weeks but there seems to be no parking! How do I get there? AND it seems to be swimming in the River Thames which is scaring the bejesus out of me. Any advice really appreciated!

Hi Kath - I haven't done either, but I have swum in the Thames a few times, and I can tell you its not as scary as you think it'll be (in fact in some places near me you can actually see the river bed, so its not the polluted horror it used to be). I think the Blenheim tri bike course is supposed to be a bit er, 'rolling' ?

Advice wise - in T1 don't touch your bike before you've put your helmet on (and the reverse in T2, rack bike then helmet off), *try* to enjoy it, because this is what we do for fun :-) let us know how you get on - and fetchmail me if you have any questions :-)

Hello all. Just checking in to say that I'm doing the shortest tri I could find. Sunday. Tallington. Hells Bells is also on the entry list :-) Has anyone else entered?

Welcome Kath, not done either, have you done much open water swimming?

As fragile says you'll be fine

Nice one H
