Triathlon Clinic at Port Dickson

[/caption] MUSINGS AND THOUGHTS I've registered for the 5 June 2011 Triathlon Clinic organised by Triathlon Malaysia. I don't have the details of what's going to happen so I assume there's going to be some swimming, some biking and some running. I'm looking forward to the swimming and the biking. The triathlon clinic will be held at the same place as the PD International Triathlon. So far, my swimming has been limited to the swimming pool. No matter how well (or badly) I perform in the pool, I reckon swimming in open water is a totally different experience. During the ATM Triathlon I was overwhelmed by just how far the swimming leg is. That event was an Olympic distance and the swim is 1.5km. The competitors had to swim 2 loops which makes 1 lap roughly 750m long which is the distance I have to swim for my sprint triathlon in PD. I honestly don't know whether I can make it the 750m in one piece. This triathlon clinic will give me a chance to gauge where I am and what I have to overcome in the next 8 weeks. I hope I get a chance to bike as well as the run the actual route for the July event. That would give me a chance to prepare as well as figure out the biking and running strategy. This clinic couldn't have come at a better time than now as I am now able to gauge where I am and what I need to do to get to where I need to be in order to compete in the event. I only wish I was 100% at the moment as I am still nursing a slight flu and cough. Hopefully I can recover by tomorrow evening so that I can have a peaceful workout on sunday. Let's see what happens...
