I’m currently training to do my first 70.3 triathlon (starting with a few shorter races in a few weeks).  My coach has me following a program, with runs and bike currently going quite well.

After the first 8 weeks I’m up to about a 1600m swim two times a week (still stopping regularly though).  My pace is pretty slow still *eek*, around 2.15/100m, and haven’t done any open water swimming yet, but really keen to start.

looking for a swim buddy as heading out in the open water by myself seems a bit intimidating at the moment!

if you happen to run / ride, run pace is around 5.15 for 5km, around 5.45 for long runs.  Bike average is around 27.5 (30km on Crit track)... mainly bike paths at the moment.
