Raemond Sep 2020 8:18am, 4 Sep 2020 6,110 posts	Quote Pin Raemond Be not ashamed, Linds. I bet Gobi doesn't have any swimming kit, let alone a suite of different caps or cozzies, or goggles for different conditions (or swanky smart goggles, come to that). Tis just a friendly pre-season thing, Gerp, not sidebar worthy.

TRO Saracen Sep 2020 8:40am, 4 Sep 2020 21,855 posts	Quote Pin TRO Saracen Easy day today. Half marathon tomorrow and 10 TT Sunday. A bit battered after TTT.
Gobi Sep 2020 8:42am, 4 Sep 2020 71,257 posts	Quote Pin Gobi Sorry Rae but, 4 pairs of goggles due to indoor and outdoor lighting Pull buoy 3 trisuits 3 pairs of swimming shorts of various descriptions

Raemond Sep 2020 8:57am, 4 Sep 2020 6,112 posts	Quote Pin Raemond 😂 fair enough, Gobs. But is it a mutilated pull buoy with elasticy bits to stop you losing it? #SRW I do have you beat on swimming cozzies, though. I must be up to at least 8, including bikinis (more if you include the kind that are clearly not designed for swimming in, just for lazing around in sunshine), same number of goggles (no smart ones. I'm not even thinking about those. honest), three or four tri suits, one pair of tri shorts, three wetsuits, and I've lost count of swim caps. I don't have any training aid type things like floats or fins or paddles or anything. I keep wondering if I ought to get some, but then not.

Angus Clydesdale Sep 2020 9:24am, 4 Sep 2020 19,562 posts	Quote Pin Angus Clydesdale It’s not proper swim training unless you swank onto the deck with a net bag full of toys you don’t even know how to use (Finis Fulcrum, anyone?!) and spend the first 5mins obsessively arranging them at the end of the lane so that nobody else has room for so much as a water bottle.
