Any assistance or information would be greatly appreciated.  |

Unless you consider running around the block a few thousand times a stage |

Elite 7783   PEI, Canada | Subject: RE: What to start on first? Originally posted by erodda Run the Self-Transcendence first. Do the Bike Second. Swim last. This is a 5 year old thread, I wonder if the OP has completed any yet? I would do the opposite of this suggestion. Swim first, bike second, run last. |

Champion 7595 Columbia, South Carolina | Subject: RE: What to start on first? Hi Arend. I've been gone for a few years, and just returned. I've noticed that quite a few very old threads like this get revived these days. Is it normal now? I like your suggestion anyway, although I think I'd do bike, then run, then maybe hope that some horrible injury prevented me from doing the swim. ;-)

| 55 | Subject: RE: What to start on first? My masochism has made me most infatuated with the one I'm the worst at: swimming. I admit I've become a bit obsessed with the English Channel swim and have been seriously looking into it. (Important factoid: to be an official channel swim you cannot wear a wetsuit, although you can slather yourself with goose fat) There's also a (much shorter and warmer) Sardinia to Corsica swim which sounds really neat. In reality of done nothing of true merit. Why not make a stupid act of Victorian fame should be the cap off? |

I haven't been around much either but I have seen a few of these. Maybe from searches, who knows? Either way, welcome back. |
