Don't worry too much about transitioning from 25m to 50m (although Sommerville House ha a very nice 50m pool that the public can use) and as long as you are comfortable doing the distance in the pool, that's good enough for the open water - in the event it is all about finding a good rhythm.... That said, a good drill you can practice is "head up" freestyle - like water polo - it helps you get used to spotting the markers out in the open water during the event. Pick a spot at the end of the pool and practice lifting your head every couple of strokes to sight it.

I'm disappointed Sedition. I was hoping to see you in Canberra for the Olympic where the beers would have been on me!SeditionTrial wrote:I'm in for 2012...
I'm back training for Cairns so will start posting in the training thread.

Which event in Cairns are you looking at ?
I have faint hopes of doing the Challenge. I think I am running out of time to get the swim happening though.
I could do the OD event on the week before, but I want to do the RRR, which is running at exactly the same time.

I'm doing the full iron distance race again. Last year was my first (race report and pics here (scroll about halfway down): http://www.bicycles.net.au/forums/viewt ... start=1400).
I'm hoping to go sub 11 hours next year - I'm following a much tougher program and hope to get to the start line at least 5 kilos lighter than this year.
I can strongly recommend Challenge Cairns (including the half) - a breathtaking bike course.

What about the swim? I am keen to do the 2/80/20 but am worried about the swim. Where do you swim, and in June, will the water be cold enough to be a wet suit swim? I am not too worried about the 80/20 bike run.bpmhigh wrote:KenKen Ho wrote:Which event in Cairns are you looking at ?
