I did my first Oly (London) last week and have now got the bug big time!
I am a strong cyclist, but have neglected running and swimming since I left university (I am 32 now)
So the learning curve is pretty much vertical!
Anyone going or done Monaco and have some advice??
I was going to do it, but my furniture and bikes have been held hostage by the UK customs folks for the last 2 1/2 weeks and so I don’t think my bike will be here in time to do it. I was out at the London Tri last weekend, and wow that was one huge event. I felt really sorry for those waves that went out in the heat of the afternoon on Sunday. As far as advice, I would say try to take a light bike if you can (or lighten yours up if reasonable) as there is a fair amount of climbing. Other than that, be careful on the descents as they will surprise you, and could lead to a very bad day. Ideally you should get there a few days early to recon the bike route.
BTW, I am looking to join a tri group here in London, so if you have any thoughts, feel free to PM me.
Cheers
