The good news is I do have 17 hours to finish.
Hard yakka, but its worth it. I did 400 miles in 3 days on a bike, and it was tough, luckily, this isn't in Cornwall and Devon so you'll fly it.
Good luck, always fancied doing a triathlon, but you dont jut need to be fit, you need to be super fit.
When is it?Comment

My legs are stiff. But worse my perineum is damned sore now.
