Sorry, I think this is about the 3rd question I've asked but I have another. I'm going to do a pool based triathlon. I know that if you get tapped on the feet you get to the end of the lane and let that person over take you but is there a rule with regards to the turn bit. I'm not a tumble turner (I'm learning) but was wondering if the person in front of me is - how do you avoid them when they go to flip over or on the push of off the wall (if you see what I mean). I can imagine that things get a bit busy around either end of the pool. Sorry about the questions but I' rather excited but very nervous about the tri. Half of me just wants to get around the thing, a quarter wants to do it well and the other quarter doesn't want to come last! By the way does anyone have a tick list of what they take to a triathlon? - If you do would you mind sharing it with me, I'm bound to forget something.

if you are in a pool I am guessing that you'll be swimming clockwise around a lane - if the person in front of you is tumble turning they should move accross the lane so that they exit the turn on the opposite side. Generally if they are tumbling you can guess that they are quite experienced and so they should stay out of your way ( well that's the theory)
Good luck with your race -which I guess is comming up soon?
Enjoy it - you'll love it!
Britspin, you're probably right! I need to go and nab it back of a colleague. If not could I please have yours?
Thanks
