1 week to go...

Until the first triathlon as a group! Machine has evacuated to Australia for some crash training, Leaf claims he isn't fit enough. So that leaves 4, and with Steve training for the channel swim, surely the 750m at Blenheim will prove easy and he will hit the bike first. Davies shouldn't be far behind, leaving Gas Man and Baptiste to fight it out for position. But by the end of the run, who knows? As Brian Moore said 'It's up for grabs now!'

By the sound of the emails, there is an equal amount of excitment and trepidation, but given Martin and Leon are making their debuts, the nerves may play more of a part.

It's a long way from a sprint to an ironman though, should be interesting to hear the post race comments...

And then what? Well, there are the usual 14ac races to come, but maybe another race should be entered like a 10k somewhere?
