I was going to write up a more comprehensive report of the inter/advanced spin yesterday but Fran has somewhat stolen my thunder with his epic tale of woe and misfortune(soon to be made into a Hollywood blockbuster)!

My race season 2010 kicked off on Sunday with the first in the Alive Outside duathlon series in the Phoenix Park. With the long cycle to Courtown looming and long term designs on doing the Kenmare half ironman this year I felt that I should try get out on the bike early and often this season.

• When: Monday 22nd of February @ 6.30pm
• What to bring: Toggs, goggles and if you have one, your old wetsuit
• How: Send an email with your intent to attend to 3dtriathlon@gmail.com

Despite the fact that its February and they're forecasting more snow
and Artic temperatures in the next week we're planning to spend some
time on the 22nd this month demystifying open water swimming for
triathlons and giving you guys the chance to try out swimming in a swim wetsuit
for the first time in something slightly warmer than the Irish Sea !!

With 3 maps, 9 females and one male we set out to do 40k at a moderate pace and we succeeded ! There was a lot of chat but no punctures... that works. Will post about next week after I talk to Stephen.

Firstly, this is not a report on our cycle this morning. I'll leave that to one of the patient souls who actually completed more than one of the "hills" (another story).
