morning all, tapering here for my big swim on sunday. Slightly concerned about swimming for 2.5 hours or so in a wetsuit in 30C heat  will be stopping and flushing out my wetsuit with cold water frequently i guess !

Hopefully the swimming part with be OK Fraggle, as long as the water temp is not too high. It'll be that awful bit at the start where you are in your wetsuit but not yet in the water #bakedalive
13 miles run, felt good, lovely out.

Yes you're probably right Sweetie - we have to get a coach from the finish to our start area and we have to be 'swim ready', so another 45 mins in wetsuit before I'm even in the water
(not sure it'll be as bad as before the Monster Middle Tri in Ely a few years ago, when in the throes of menopause madness i had the most uncomfortable hot flush when waiting to get into the water, I was almost at the point of begging the marshals if I could get in and cool off )

Yes Pix - sunscreen will be on, and I'm allowed to wear pool shoes * so I won't get sunburned soles of the feet either
* we have to get out at a couple of locks, and the digs foot can feel a bit unstable on slippery surfaces, so I've got permission to wear them. Shame they don't help me swim faster though )

Morning aqua babies
Funny enough, I have not been swimming and have no plans to swim.
I have however ridden my bike and run with my woofer and all before 0740 so she didnt cook.

Good luck Fraggle, swim as slow as possible early - is there feed stations?
