In the 25 degC heat, we decided not to do a bike/run sesh but instead decided to cool ourselves at our friendly lake in Reading. It's the perfect place for some good murky water sveeeming and there's the opportunity to enjoy the scenery in a 1km run round the lake. On our latest outing, we were treated to some tri-specific training previously endorsed by (the artist formerly known as) Cow Pat, namely shagging. We were able to observe beside the running path close-up demos of technique, speedwork and dexterity, all performed with great gusto by a couple of novice, yet fast-learning triathletes. I was going to provide some "going long" advice, but I then realised they hadn't paid their Park Club Tri membership, so I left them to figure it out by themselves.
