The last race was at Park Royal Hotel, Batu Ferringhi. Absolutely hundreds of jellies. The race leader (Martin Hager, Brit) was screaming and throwing the jellies aside. Aussie Paul Shearer came out with a jellie wrapped around him. More than half stopped (including Razani). Me and Wong Yew Kin got our highest placings ever. Now one bite at LKW and I rush off to the clinic.sofiantriathletehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08504415584954021501noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12164693.post-43744685808554187132009-09-09T15:56:53.719+08:002009-09-09T15:56:53.719+08:00One of two things may happen in the swim.

I hugged a HUGE jelly, dealt with it (passed to to sexy chris) and had no nibbles from sea lice at all! What will be thrown at me in 2010...bugger knows...I am planning on being so bloody fast in the water the nasties won't have a cat in hells chance of catching me!!! oops...wake up!!Emmahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06865433753170087884noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12164693.post-28945873537790021152009-09-09T09:14:13.690+08:002009-09-09T09:14:13.690+08:00Thanx Sofian!

I "see" one most years but have not got stung yet. I think that you have to be pretty unlucky to "catch" one. <br /><br />One other point is the sealice are always there and very annoying - tiny irritating stings but nothing to worry about it's part of the race. As you say the swim is lovely and usualy out and back with rope and boys every 5 metres - it's just like a swimming pool but as it's salt water it's far more buoyant.<br /><br />Looking forward to it already.Simonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16432165719668908143noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12164693.post-46212875845164987992009-09-07T21:33:18.573+08:002009-09-07T21:33:18.573+08:00hi sofian. wow, thanks for the very detailed tips...hi sofian. wow, thanks for the very detailed tips. paul and i are blessed. big corporations pay big bucks for advice from boys with 5 years experience. we are getting gems of tri wisdom gained over 25 years - for free !!! thanks for digging deep and coming up with those beauties, sofian.<br />'the briefing will prove that you dont need anaesthetic to sleep' - haha, good one.<br />jelly fish, jelly fish - hasnt someone come up with a concoction that keeps them away, like serai for mozzies? would be so disappointing to train for months and then be immobilised by a sting the day before the race.peter channoreply@blogger.com
