For any Rookies out there its well worth it - I went on last Sundays and got loads out of it. Sixty quid for over 2 hours OW swimming tuition from Rick Kiddle, plus all the other stuff thrown in (wetsuit fitting, T1 & T2 practice, swimming technique, bike maintenance & handling, nutrition advice).
I'd never swum in open water before, but found out it's great fun and now feel totally at ease with it.

First OW swim for me too, and doing it with a guy like Rik Kiddle put all of us totally at ease.
If you are wondering where to spend your next £100 on tri-gear, my advice would be to give the carbon bling a miss for now and get on these training days, the transition coaching alone will save you more time than any amount of aero-carbon-woolly-naked-black stuff!
Oh - and you'll get free RED BULL all day too
Oh - and if Mr. Conehead himself is there you might be able to get a signed copy of his book
Oh - and you get a free bag with lots of SIS nutrition stuffed in
I've finished now.
Best regards

Really, really want to do at least one of the long distance days at Reading. Spare cash is a huge issue this year, but if I earn any pocket money this month, that's where it's going to go. Still have this daft idea of doing a 70.3 next year.

Me too BG. The long distance days are a "want" for me too on this basis but out of work for 3 months at the moment so probably no training days this year for me :-(

will i benefit from one of your days if i've already done a tri....i mean i'll know what to expect but i'd like to attend so you can maybe help me out with an accurate training plan....i dont want to win a tri, or even come close to the front....but i want to build up to a sprint tri and then maybe even next year an OD (lol...yeah right)
Any plans for a Scottish Rookie Training Day yet?
