Open-water swim followed by a barbie at the literally palatial pad of one of Exeter Tri's chaps today. A good educational (if short) swim in which I discover some useful things, like:

* Much of my OW swim problem comes from all the seawater getting down the back of my nose. If I trump like an heffalump, this doesn't happen and I can concentrate on my stroke (zipperskate, young Jedi).

* It's not just me, it happens to the other OW newbie too and she's a stronger pool swimmer. Seems that seawater cheats and gets in where freshwater doesn't. I wonder why?

* Tri totty. Say no more. well, I could, but this is public. Visions of loveliness.

* You think you're lean? You think you're ripped? You're a soft squishy plush toy. Ripped is when your sixpack is vsible through your wetsuit. He's young and I hate him even if he does tell filthy jokes.

* You are naked without your HRM.

...and why I've found I like tri: it's not interpersonally competitive and there isn't much aplha-male bollocks. So I can kick back into Bishop of Bath and Wells mode and enjoy the boy-candy ;)

(Gymwise, where that's distracting, I just trained at odd hours. 7am, 11am, and 10pm are ideal!)
