On April 28, 1944, in south Devon on the English coast, Allied forces rehearsed their roles for the Utah Beach landings of the D-Day invasion months in advance. These practice landing exercises were referred to as Exercise Tiger.
So here I am 44 Days before my own personal D-Day on the shores of Lake Michigan and I'm facing an exercise of tigerish proportions in less than 34 hours time. My first ever Triathlon event is taking place in the midlands town of Athlone and is known as TriAthlone. It is one for which I have trained extremely hard for but am extremely nervous about.
In preparation for the event I've been doing some research and I found out that Setanta did a documentary about the 07 TriAthlone event.
TriAthlone 07 - The Sprint Race - Setanta documentary
Part 1
Part2
Part3
Having watched the documentary I must admit that whatever fear or nerves I had before watching this was fear in ignorance. Now its just plain old terror.
