Something tells me someone should be doing Poland next year.

On the same weekend as this one, btw.

But for the swim alone I think I'll give it a crack.


Have they specially said that they'll use the pool as a 50m one? It's often laid out as 2 X 25m so not sure what they'll do on the day.

You know you can just rock up, pay a fiver and swim there right? Check times etc but there's various 50m sessions...

This....

... and it is indeed a very nice pool, often enhanced by injured Quins players floating around in it doing rehab (though that may not be a selling point for Tritans)

If that is the case, you might do well to practice on HCC123A (Charlotteville evening 10s, Wednesday evenings when pleasant weather has been restored) - though would involve actually getting on your bike ....

Ah you've spotted that I haven't even looked at my bike for over a month then. :oops:

relive those rugby years with 5km of shuttle runs up and down the side of the rugby pitch.

i'm guessing you don't fancy driving to wiltshire for a pool sprint and a pint after? ;)



Where are you thinking then muscles ?

Considering Calne Sprint, early May... Wootton Bassett mid May... Bristol in June perhaps. You might like Bassett - long bike and short run.
