    i feel like i am a fraud as it is, i have yet to do a swim ride run type of training trial. I have done a swim ride. and a ride run, but i have not strung them all together. the thought of two days not swimming or running seems a waste to me.
    Naw ??.. it is good to give your body a rest and recovery period, where you also eat well, sleep well, and give it lots of nutrients I bet the person that gave you the advice about it being a "smallish" tri is a really good athlete :H:H It is not a "waste" - it is time for your body to build up strength

    This is your first one - don't push it too much, and pace yourself. Given that the swim leg is the one you feel least confident about, make sure you don't push yourself too hard (some of those starts can be a bit brutal with everyone wanting to get out in front). You want to finish the swim with lots of energy for the cycle and run. Don't worry about having not strung them all together - it will happen on the day.

    I say this as someone who does this for the enjoyment and satisfaction of this sport, and who usually comes in right at the back of the pack :-)

      Thinking of you Rags. My thoughts on skiing: snowboarders should have their own trails. Truth be told I've broken stuff way before snowboarders. I was a much better skier on K2 185's than on the shaped 160's. I've decided to take up knitting. I'll make a shawl; Frog green.

        Thanks Techie..

        Yes I agree
        I've had a lot of close calls with snowboarders in the past
        I might take up crochet or stamp collecting.
        I'm not as good as I was ten / 20 years ago, and I ski a lot more carefully now. This s the worst fall /injury I've ever had on the snow.
        Doubly pissed off that it was on the first day of a fairly expensive ski holiday.
        And as you know, there's not a lot else to do in a ski resort except drink, which I don't (any more)

                  How big is that box of sweet peppers? Have a look at these two links - first one has some info on freezing and canning.

                    Raggsy told me to say that, Aspy. She did. True-dinks.

                      Rags I'm so sorry about your accident, what an awful thing to happen at the start of your holiday! :huggy

                      Missy I hope you feel better soon too!

                      I just googled the cafe in the botanic gardens and it said it's temporarily closed, but there are heaps of nice coffee places at southbank. Are we planning on the morning or the afternoon of the 2nd?

                      I have to take Bella to the vet tomorrow to have some tests and she has to be left there for the day. I already feel sick at the thought, because she's such a stressy little girl and she gets terrified about anything out of the ordinary. Plus I can't feed her after dinner tonight and she's going to hate me. :upset:

                        Glassy - she'll never hate you because she'll know you're doing the right thing. She'll just be a bit harumphy. Until she decides to forgive.

                        You know, after you mentioned Women's Retreats, I went on a bit of a googleaaaathon and did indeed find something I might be very interested in. Unlike Missy, I'm not looking for sport/fitness/adventure stuff but there was one place in Bali which really appeals. I'm thinking to hold off until our winter and maybe do just seven days in late July/early August. I really need to find something to look forward to.

                        Rags, Rags, Rags ... what can I say?

                        Techie - again, I have no idea what you're talking about - K2 185's??? Shaped 160s??? He arms on the rocks??? You are.such.an.enigma.

                          Evening.

                          Hope Bella is ok Glassybum. She'll get over the grumps. For the meet up on the 2nd, I reckon Southbank is the go too. Easier than all of us getting lost between Roma St, Mt Coot-tha and the city Botanicals. And its on the south side I'm teaching yoga in the morning and finish that at 8 so I can be anywhere after that, whatever is best for everyone. Sunny said she'll sort out a schedule and if she comes up I hope she'll bring Leon.

                          Rags I can get you from the station like we did last time? and I hope you are resting comfortably.

                          Ficks, love! keep meaning to say I had a giggle about your Ben Affleck clip, I'd seen it before but not for a while and it made me laugh. Pop in more often you good woman you.

                          Missy, get better soon x

                            Asp I like this recipe

                            Grilled Capsicum Salad Recipe - Taste.com.au

                            The flavours are really good, you don't have to put the capsicum in the oven you can just throw them in a fry pan. And its great the next day stuff into a crusty roll.

                              Good Morning Aspy,
                              One way you could use up some of the capsicums would be to juice them along with the kale.

                              Tawny told me to say that

                                Aspy,
                                there's heaps of capsicum recipes on Ms Google.
                                I often stuff them either mince and mushrooms or veggies,and my famous Raggsy's lasagne has layers of capsicum, eggplant and zucchini plus the tomato, garlic, onion etc. so you could try that. Nicer if you blister the skins off first.
                                Also if you have enough jars you could preserve them.. there's lots of recipes on google for that too.

                                Saw Happs' recipe which included capers. Have you thought of juicing capers with your kale?
