Hi guys,
Last year I did my first Solo swim to Rotto and doing so again 2013, but have also set myself the goal of completing the doctor and associated races around it, Mandurah etc. Im looking for some advice on training programs and strategies for the Doctor and maybe some chaps to train with if someone local is planning similar, Im fit, swim in a squad, run 3-4 times a week and my paddling skills & experience are I guess intemediate, though have not been paddling for a while as I ve been concentrating on the pool, I have an SIC F-16 and plan to train and race on this.
Any takers or advice much appreciated!!!..

Hi Peter,
Cam is the Fremantle pod captain. He goes by the name "surf4fun" on here. Send him a pm for their training times.

Hey Peter, as you are in north Fremantle your best bet would be to come down and join our training group that runs out of the car park on the north side of zephyrs cafe. We train Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday mornings at 5:30 and are generally off the water by 7.

Thanks Cameron, the days are perfect, so your training in the dark at the moment?Can I ask what the make up of the people training are, dont want to hold anyone back thats all, will take me a while to find my feet again..Anyone paddling downwind boards? Thanks mate

And yeah it is still dark when we get on the water and now it is starting to get light as we get off.
