As soon as I get time, I will sit down and write a race report.  Those that read this blog will have also followed the live feed and will know the events that place a couple of weeks ago.  The long and the short of it, was that the course and the weather conditions in the region were too brutal to complete the full Deca distance.  I am so glad that I decided to test the course.  It would have been disaster if nobody completed the course in 2010.

What we did establish was a Half-Deca event over a stunning and challenging course that will test the most seasoned of ultra triathletes.  Those that supported me will know the pain and conditions I had to race through just to complete this distance. 

For the time being, it's time to rest up... with training anyway.  I start my new job in Dorset in 2 weeks, there's the organising of the 2nd Double Iron UK and I am taking Dave Farrell's Arch to Arc a few weeks after that.

I have really missed sea swimming since training for the Deca in the pool so I will try and get some swims in along the South Coast before the summer is over.  I may do the Jurassic Swim in September and if I feel lucky (and I can afford it / have enough annual leave left), I fancy doing the 'Travesía La Bocaina' in October.  This is an 8 mile sea swim in the Atlantic from Lanzarote to Fuerteventura.  Eddie Ette was the first man in history to swim between these two islands.
