Thanks for that, yes I think I mean 2 less!

Hugh when thinking of gearing just think push bike if its harder to pedal you change the sprocket to a larger on the rear or smaller on the front, to make it easier to pedal.
No more tips.

Its funny that gearing isnt 2nd nature to me considering I cycle about 100km a week training for my first Triathlon end July.

Thanks for the support but I am not there yet! Distance is 1.5k swim (in the Thames ), 40k bike, 10k run. The Cycling is coming on well enough and have managed to improve my running from not being able to manage 2k in Jan to doing a half marathon last Saturday.

The 1.5km swim is a different story, so far I can only manage 16 lengths of the pool (400m) before I start struggling with my breathing and become exhausted. I am booked in for a couple of lessons which I hope will help me out because I figure it will be a lot harder in the Thames dodging beer cans and nappies!

Ditto on the big respec dude but be careful in the Thames as it's getting cleaner nowadays. There could be a hungry stray Nobby Clark about!

From what I have heard it is being elbowed/thumped/dunked/grabbed by the other competitors which is hardest to deal with.

good luck with whatever you decide to do. We will still be there to welcome you at Pembrey if you don't make Snett. Hope everything works out.
