Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

I'm doing the Daventry tri on Sunday. It's a 400m swim. Think I'll go for the tri suit option.

I can't tumble turn so not an issue. The instructions say that I'll be issued a swim cap by the counter.

Do you know roughly how many people might be in the lane at the same time? I've taken a complete stab at my estimated time so I'm a bit concerned I'll either be held up by people or have them going over me.

4 is usual, normal protocol is to tap the ankle of the person you want to pass and they give way at the end, if your ankle is tapped do the same (then draft them like f*ck)
