With my last tri of the season, I have many thanks to give:

-thank you to the 4 or 5 swimmers who "invited" me to take part in my first energy-drink fuelled bisexual underwater rubber-clad orgy. (Sorry, I didn't get any phone numbers.)

-thank you to all male runners who wear heart-rate monitors. From behind, you look as if you are wearing a bra.

Thanks so much Martin for that really  yummy soup (await the recipe with baited breath) and to all the Tuesday runners for a lovely route through purple heather, hailstorms and rainbows...! We are SOoooo lucky to live where we do, and to be able to run...

- Well here we are at the Beverley Triathlon, and it's starters' orders for the 3rd swimming wave..

THE SWIM (400M)

Now, Caroline Hodgson has made a great start.. No wait, she is actually stopping to ask if other people want to pass.,This is political correctness gone mad. In my day..

I must stop you there Dave - there has been an incident in lane 2. It appears that a male swimmer has been assaulted by a Hazel Winter doing her first ever triathlon. Apparently he was swimming too slowly..

Hazel is way ahead of Caroline after the swim...

 A big thank you to Pete for the Pub at Blakey idea. A great time was had by all. Good company and good times.
