  • I would echo the advise given above: 1. Order the non-alcoholic drink of your choice 2. Just say "no thank you" when offered a drink. You don't have to explain yourself. 3.

  • Good for you on the triathlon goal ! You and I are in the same boat. I've signed up for a sprint in March, an Olympic in May, and a 1/2 ironmen in Sept. I'm 51 years old, and carry the same 14 stones (if I got the conversion right. I'm 198 lbs). I have a background in competitive swimming and cycling, but its been years…
