I'm very much in the can't be bothered camp. Unfortunately repeat prescriptions for otitis externa leave me little choice.

Heptonstall Fell Race :-) Sounds fun.

I've been knocked out for 3 weeks with fatal coughing disease. I seem to be through it now. Still not ready to brave a run but I just did 30 minutes on the turbo and now I'm shaking like a leaf!

I don't like water seeping out of my ears but it hardly ever happens so no need for the ear plugs. I'm the same as Gobi - plugs for motorbikes only.

It's not a problem I've had when I've swum regularly before, but if I'm going to try and swim before work I need something to help make sure I'm not uncomfortable all day.

I wear earplugs to stop seasickness when swimming. Maybe a kind of placebo effect but I've not suffered since I started wearing them (and swimming in a badly side-wave-suppressed pool has made me throw up in the past.)

I only use ear plugs for OW swimming - to prevent dizziness and nausea like LD.

I learned the hard way in my first OW triathlon - I managed to stagger like a drunkard into T1 and found my bike but then just keeled over sideways - much to the amusement of my husband, who to this day rues the fact he didn't have a camera at the ready! Live and learn! :-)

Evening all.
I did a running, and a building of IKEA furniture and a potting of plants and now I'm doing a drinking of beer in my little back yard.
