Highland Warrior 70.3 : Official Thread

ME!
 

There's also a late 30's girl from the Borders club who'd been talking about doing it and the club coach who'll be in your category - he's humming and hawing at the moment - psychological issue with swimming in the sea! He's damn good on the bike and run, but he might not finish the swim before lunchtime...!

me too!
traveling up from Hamilton.  Last minute entry as I missed Aberfeldy through illness.  First 70.3 distance so full of trepidation, been laid low with flu for 3 weeks, so got a week or so to get the training volume back up......

Hi Guys,

I had forgotten that I had started this thread

Not long to go now....... realised that I have spent so much time trying to get my biking sorted that my swim and run have suffered !

I know that if I start the run then I will make the finish (it will hurt lots but i'll get there) but my swim endurance is nothing like it should be......
My first target of the day will be to complete the first lap in under 45mins !!  Then i'll take it from there  lol.

I am aiming for 7 hours (1,3:45,2:15) , fully expecting to be last home

anyone checked the start time ? the handbook says the warrior swim starts at 08:30 but the big tri on saturday starts at 07:30....    bit of a difference in tides ??

Now the nerves are setting in with taper-madness lol.
