Hello all. Have been reading the forums for a while. Find the advice of you all very interesting. Im a tri newbie, doing his first duathlon in a couple of weeks and then tri's. Im just about to enter for the windsor tri and the eton sprint the month before in may. These may be my first tri events and wonder about the swim in the Thames. How difficult will this be as I presume you swim against the current. Running and cycling ok, swimming definately my weakest disciplne, but have plenty of time to work on it. Maybe I would be better of starting with a event in a lake or pool, but really fancy doing Windsor as it seems an excellent event. Thanks

My big problem was that the marshalls made a mistake with my number in registration and by the time I'd sorted it out I got in the water about 20 seconds before we set off, so I wasn't well prepared, and my goggles fogged over within 20 seconds of the start and I swam blind most of the race. Oh and I'm not a very good swimmer.
Get your preparation right and you will have no problem.

I'm planning Windsor for the first time next year. Was surprised to see people walking in the shallows at this years. Surely that shouldn't be allowed.
Anyway, hope to see you there!
