I seem to have been bitten by the endurance running thing and have thought I might like to crank it up a notch and go for something more in the arena of multidiscipline.

I am not the strongest swimmer (havent swum competitively since I was a teen) and will need to train alot to do a Tri.

I have entered into the London Duathlon in September 2008 doing the "Challenge" event. It consists of a 10km run/ 20km cycle/ 5km run. Will anyone else be doing this: http://www.thelondonduathlon.com

I have got aspirations a bit higher but need to see how I fair before I know how I will cope with a bigger event. If anyone has any tips on what to do to get the most out of an event post them here!

Cheers

Serious

Ask people who have actually competed in one. Triathalons tend to sort the men out from the boys though so dont expect it to be easy.

Basics is set yourself targets and exercise a lot. Dont overdo it though.
