In a post night shift fit of silliness, I have just signed up for a fun sprint triathlon in 12 weeks...
I'm 33, 5'6 and 10st. Am currently fairly unfit but working on it, and am on week 3 of c25k. Swimming is my strong point, but will be aiming to finish it rather than get a decent time.
Am I going to die?!
Is anyone else doing one this year?

Can you still cycle with a pregnant tum? I couldn’t past 16wk as too big and uncomfortable even now not remotely pregnant my knees hit my boobs when in drop bar position Blush I think only you know the answer as to how fit your body feels and your stamina levels are as we are all SO very different. Gd luck.

I echo what everyone else has said, only you can know if you’ll be able to do it when pregnant. I couldn’t have done either time but I prematurely developed severe PET first time round. So I’m not a great example of someone doing pregnancy well!
