Hi everyone. Ive recently become interested in competing in duathlons (I would do triathlons but unfortunately my swimming ability is terrible). Im totally new to this sport, though from playing many sports from a young age, and the last year or so at uni (im 19 now), im fairly fit and think i could compete at a decent level. But, having not actually done one of these before im wondering how i compare. Today i did an approximately 8k run and 25k on the bike, my time being just over 30mins for the run and just over 50mins on the bike.
Also, if anyone could give me any info of where i can find any duathlons in my area (Bristol), im definitely going to enter the london duathlon in september after i get some serious training done, but that seems a long time away, and i would like to do a few before this for practice.
Thanks

even if you are a poor swimmer now is the perfect time to improve as cold dark weather provides less incentive to get out on the bike
if you start swimming now (maybe getting lessons) then you'll be fine by the time the triathlon season starts properly around may time
may be see you at castle combe?
