I understand now, when people on the forum say they have the bug because I have it. I completed my first darlington tri ever and completed in 1.30. There was lots of apprehension on the day to how hard I push myself etc, but now I cant wait to do my next one and cant wait to challenge mysself to gtting a much better time which I know I can.
I am also seriously cconsidering an open water swim in July as well. Knowing I wont drown in my wetsuit lol. tHANKS TO ALL WHO GAVE ME ADVICE. I was thinking like a wussssssss bbut now have slapped myself out of this lol.
I have booked myself into 5 other tri events woooo hooooo. Its great having a challenge of a different kind.

Lets hope no one finds a cure!!
Keep it up
What would you do with the soreen in the cupboard!
'WARNING - you are about to enter an event that will change your life, make you talk constantly to your friends, work colleagues, dog, cat goldfish, strangers on buses, winos outside Jobcentres etc about your new bit of kit, bike, training etc, require you to keep your cheque book open, credit card details to hand/memorised/stored on your computer and then sell off heirlooms, furniture, spouse/partner, children and sundry relatives. You will smell of chlorine, Deep Heat and Ibuprofen gel, you car will smell like the insides of a pair of old trainers and you will keep falling over as you forget that your office shoes have tie up laces and not elasticated ones until you become the only person at work wearing black Loake Oxfords with fluorescent yellow LocLaces. You will get up at an unGodly hour to assemble with fellow addicts like warriors gathering for battle and for the next couple of hours drive your body to its extreme. With time, a Sprint, which at one time seemed daunting, will become a norm and looming in front of you will be the draw, the compulsion to compete in an Ironman which prior to this was undertaken only by those who are certifiably insane. But you will do all this with a wide grin on your face and a body that is bursting with energy"
That just about sums it up then!
Brilliant.
I am really pleased for you, wish I had got the bug in 1986 and not 2006! But - I got the bug and that is the important thing - hoorah for us all.
