Thanks for your help and advice this evening in Salthill, don't know where you get your enthusiasm. Still gagging after the sea water but enjoyed it none the less. Have to say I did find it tougher swimming in the sea but hopefully I will get used to it a little before May 23rd. See you next week.

went along to sebs tri training at salthill, found the swimming difficult, but i'm new to the wetsuit, very good for beginners, this has now motivated me further to train more for the ocean triathon, i have never attempted this before. seb has good tips.
