Hallelujah,
I just received my new issue of 220, the one with the free open water DVD.(ok, all you guys probably read it out completely already, since I'm probably the last one in line to get it by Belgian mail(zzz)).
First of all, receiving the newest issue is always a day to be glad about. When it includes a free DVD, things can't go wrong anymore.
THANK YOU 220!!![image]http://forum.220magazine.com/micons/m6.gif[/image]
PS: what do you think of the dvd, is it good or is it great???(cause I was expecting a red, aero, carbonish -like version)[;)]

The advice is OK, if you are not so experienced. Like most of these things, there will be one or two things that stick in your mind. I don't like the suggested technique for turning at the bouy - it's fine when you're on your own, but in the melee of a real event I think you would drown. Now, if they had shown you how to use the rolling over technique to roll across the swimmer next to you when he is blocking you in....[:@]
The wetsuit advice was good: I liked his suggestion for the sequence for taking the suit off. I was sometimes getting stuck by trying to do one arm then the other. Kiddle suggests a half arm first. I tried it on Sunday and I was out of my gimp suit in about 10s[:D]
Oh no... I've spoiled the plot for you. [;)]

I agree britspin and Bopo, darn shame it was for free[:-]
Though it was pretty aero when i threw it at my dog outside though;[:D][;)] not.
anyone got a spare?
For me they need to do something new or they lose me as a subscriber.
The current issue of the magazine caters exclusivly for absolute beginers and women.
I have also noted factual mistakes/out of date info in many of the recent issues - i.e. IM Switzerland in two laps not 3 (and had been for 6 month before the mag went to print) ..... theres another open water lake in Farnbourough.... I wonder how much of what we read is out of date storys? Or how much is left out.
It would be quite simple for 220 to make themselves more relevent and that is to look on their very own furum at the questions that are asked and write storys on them..... This is the stuf we are interested in and enjoy reading about... And is it too much to ask for quantifiable comparisons of products??
SOrt it out!
On the other hand I find 220 the best magazine that handles about tri. Tried a few other ones, but I stick with 220! You must admit they have a great forum (public)![image]http://forum.220magazine.com/micons/m6.gif[/image]
I totally agree that writing articles based on discussions on the forum would be excellent. In one of the mtb mags they used to put in featured forum discussions mentioning the contributors- we could all be famous! [8D]
Obviously whats needed here is a shaved carbon RED Knitted Gogi berry magazine,with beetroot porridge pages WITH free handouts that please everybody.... or make great frisbees or coasters... with all our know how, dagnamit, i think we can do this!!!
Found it was some good stuff together on one place, but nothing innovational I guess. Actually heard and saw nothing new. Silently hoped to find some tip to shave off a min on my oly swim leg, but elas, nothing like that! [&o] [:D]
BORING ALREADY!!!
