There has been a slight change of plan.
I am no longer doing the Penrith Sprint Triathlon. After discussing the logistics and difficulties of getting to the race with my friend Pauline at work today, she offered me the use of her caravan in Cockerham near Lancaster. That was a very kind offer and would cut half the travel time off on the day. It also meant the Mrs could come with as originally the trip to Penrith involved me staying at a hostel on my own.
Then whilst searching for other sprint triathlons in the north west and I discovered that there are sprint triathlons on the same day of the Penrith one. One more local in Macclesfield, and one, you guessed it, in Cockerham.
That weekend now consists of a weekend away relaxing with my lovely wife, courtesy of my brilliant friend. The one hiccup, after agreeing this is all going to happen, I discovered the swim for this tri is an open water one, in a flooded quarry specifically. Crap. Need to get over my fear a lot quicker than was planned. Also need to lose as much weight as possible quickly so I can buy a tri suit that will fit me for a reasonable time. Need to see if I can rent a wetsuit too
