check it out lads. I signed up for this sprint triathlon thing this year.

750m swim, 20k bike, 5k run. Looking forward to it now but I cant swim for shit. Lessons start wed night.
And another thing. Why cant you get a comfy saddle on a bike these days? I've only been out on mine about 3 times and any distance longer than 15k means I have to stand up on the bike to let the blood flow back towards my nuggets!

Paul, it is not just lately that bicycle saddles have gotten uncomfortable. Racers always had saddles that would cut the plums off a mouse. What you need to do is get on ebay and get yourself an old raleigh chopper. Nice and comfy and you will look by far the coolest of all in the race.
I am a bit worried about this not being able to swim thing. Are you going to do the race with water rings?
I always wanted a chopper too. You can get these bikes now that look like chopper motorbikes with flames and everything. That would get the chicks for sure!
I can swim a bit but not for 750m.
Brian McCann once made his chopper seat more comfortable by covering the saddle with these small, cushion-like white pads he found in a drawer in his Ma's room.
I wasn't there but I believe that much hilarity ensued when she saw him riding around.
It occurred to me that I may have given the wrong impression with my comment - Brian was about eight when this incident happened and not an adult as the wording may have may implied.
