cheers adam, where about are you from in sunny nunny.

training going ok so far, fitting it all in seems to be the initial problem.

still, early days yet.

Originally from Newcastle - under - Lyme now resident just outside Glasgow. Been on BT since lat Jan (but only just found this section of the forum!!!!)

Hey guys and gals!

Craig here from Hatfield in Hertfordshire, (although I work near St Pauls in the City)

I'm hoping to do the Eton Super Sprints on May 19th, and have just registered to do a Sprint at the London Triathlon as part of the Survival International team.

Good to see loads of Brits on here, I just gave the email address to the guys at Triandrun in Hainault and they're gonna advertise the link in their shop, so we might pick up a few more too...

Not sure if i can technically post here......here goes..

Brit hailing from Halifax W Yorks

but living in the states for the past 10 yrs....

Would like to do the London Marathon during a trip home sometime.....

Hi all

Another Brit living in Somerset nr Bath - although originally off of Nuneaton - Hi Pantellaslim and Adam!


I have next tri on Sun 10th June Cotswolds women only and then one after that on 30th June at Dorney Lake Eton.

Hi Jess, good luck with the two tri's, if that makes any sense.

whereabouts in Nuneaton do you hail from?

on a completely different subject, i'm injured again, , knee this time.

hi there

We used to live in Galley Common, I lived and was bought up in Nuneaton until I went to America in 1998, came back and moved to Coventry for a while before moving on again. My sister still lives in Stockingford but my mum and brother have also moved to different parts of the country now.

I'm 28yrs old and went to St Thomas More school - left in 1995.

How about you?

Hi again,

I'm 36, left etone in 87.Lived in birmingham for four years, and then London for another four.
Came back to the Midlands with a job and Nuneaton seemed the obvious choice at the time, although sometimes i wonder why?

This is my first year of Tri's, but it isn't going great so far. Since January i have been slowly falling apart.

already missed two i had booked in, Stratford in may and bosworth on July the 1st( i am at a wedding).

hopefully be fit for Rugby 26th august, and one of the warwick tri's in september.

hey guys!  without wanting to hijack - I'm doing the warwickshire tri on the 30th (sept) so maybe see you there!?

hi Craig, the 30th is one i've looked at, i'm sure there is one earlier in the month as well.

fingers crossed i will be there, and it isn't my first one

Hi guys,

I've not been on in a while, but I thought I'd say hi! and ask whether anyone else on here took part in the ridiculously hot London Triathlon this last weekend.

I damaged my ankle around two months ago which really put the kibosh on my training, but as I'd committed to raising money for Survival International for this race I went ahead with it and completed my first ever Sprint distance triathlon on the saturday just gone!!!

It was the hardest thing I've ever done(the heat didn't help)! I would advise anyone that hasn't done a tri before to seriously consider swimming technique lessons, the Thames swim was the worst part of the race, and the only point that I contemplated that I might not finish...

I'm really pleased to have gotten to the end of the race, albeit in a ridiculously slow time (2:05:53)

But the good news is, I'm already planning my next race and more importantly my elevated training schedule...

Triathlons are great!!!

Craig (Hatfield, Herts)

Hey, Craig

Congrats on doing London! There was few of us competing over the weekend though I only meet Cando (Dan) and Hannah.

so you signed up for next year yet?

Not yet, but am gonna!

I'm going into serious training now, for the whole of the Autumn/Winter. My plan is to do my next Sprint distance at Blenheim in June (Unless I find another appropriate race in Spring) and keep up the training, Sprint again at London, and build up to an Oly for Brighton in September next year

This time around it was finishing at all, now I want to get my time down to a respectable level :D

hi guys,

another one here... I'm from Horsham & currently training for my 1st tri at the end of September in Crawley.

England based American here. Have lived in the UK for 21 years (longer than I lived there!).

Based in Epsom, Surrey.
