It draws both trendy Manhattanites looking for a convenient beach getaway and business travelers attending corporate events on-site. Big rooms have light, airy decor, plush beds, and sleek limestone bathrooms; some have beach and ocean views.

Sony announces E-mount 30mm F3.5 Macro
Sony has announced its fourth lens for NEX cameras, in the shape of the E 30mm F3.5 macro (or SEL30M35). Billed as the world's lightest macro for interchangeable lens cameras capable of life-size 1:1 magnification, it uses internal focusing to achieve a minimum working distance of less than an inch from the front of the lens. It also promises quiet autofocus for both stills and video use. The lens will be available in October at a suggested retail price of around $250. We've had a pre-production example that we've used to prepare a samples gallery.
Note: The copy of the 30mm lens used for this gallery is early pre-production, and may not represent the final quality you can expect from the shipping version. Samples from a production level lens will be added as soon as they are available.

Last update done : Gil -5
At first UR was like, Gil, I think your timeout time is over, then they were like, jkjk
Poor gil
I am again telling that unless scoring system improves,penalty makes no difference. The fight system in very much unfair.
With the battles planned,star bonus with maximum of 5 do not takes much pressure.
Lets take example of Ambre,doesn't it gives huge situational advantages ? Even if you do -10 penalty on it,what about the player who was fighting against it ?Lets suppose Ambre user is not KOing until 4th round. Will other player sit duck till then? Much of his time will waste for 17 points? A person using graxs and Ambre together in extended tourney..but what about the players FACING them ? You may penalize those users heavily but still they'll stuck all the time and bring others ranking down in tourney.
Moreover,the stars difference during fights is much more than 5. Normally my 3/2/2/2 versus a 5/5/5/4 hand . Ultimately,tourneys are playable at heavy decks only.
My idea to prevent all that is changing that extra:1 point per less star max. 5
How about scoring like +1 point per less star below 5 ,and -1 point per extra star above 4 ? So basically if a 2/2/2/2 versus a 5/5/5/5 hand it would be -5 points for that brute and +5 points to the weakling. Wouldn't it balance all that ?
Or just plan battles such that star difference isn't more than 5?
Choke cards like Ambre and Morphun should be banned completely. In current scoring,regardless of -10 points,a person using Morphun,can KO having 12 life using his advantage and get 22-28 points .

Mediterranean Veggie Sandwich
Total Time
Prep 10 mins
Cook 0 mins
This could be a copy cat recipe for Panera Bread's Mediterranean Veggie Sandwich, however, this is a little lower in calories and fat with the few changes I've done. I suggest using a dense thicker bread for this sandwich, it holds up better. You can substitute your favorite flavor of hummus.
Ingredients Nutrition
- 2 slices whole wheat panini style bread (or whatever flavor you prefer)
- 2 tablespoons sundried tomato basil hummus
- 1 green lettuce leaf
- 6 slices cucumbers (skin on)
- 1⁄2 cup baby spinach leaves
- 1 roasted red pepper, sliced into strips
- 2 slices red onions (optional)
- 2 slices tomatoes
- 1 tablespoon crumbled feta cheese
- Wash and dry lettuce and spinach and set aside.
- Spread each slice of bread with hummus.
- Lay lettuce leaf on one slice of bread.
- Top with cucumbers, spinach, roasted pepper, onion (if using) and tomato.
- Sprinkle with feta cheese.
- Top with other slice of bread.
Most Helpful
YUM!!! I didn't have the sun dried tomato hummus, although it sounds delicious, so I just spread on some plain Greek yogurt instead. Turned out VERY good, I loved it!!!
A really nice sandwich. We used more feta. There are a lot of ingredients in this, so there is a little bit of competition in terms of being able to taste each of the items - the red peppers kind of win out because of their intense flavor, but it was still very much enjoyed.
I really loved this sandwich. Wanted something a little differant for lunch today and this really fit the bill. The only thing I did differant was use toasted wheat bread and no hummus as living here in Beijing couldn't find either of those. Since I had no hummus I did add a dressing made from yogurt, tabasco and a touch of mustard and it was greaat. I'll be using this recipe a lot as I've usually have all he ingredients on hand and sound so healthy. Thanks so much for posting. Made for PAC Spring 2010

The "Downton Abbey" Christmas episode has some more details and photos released, care of ITV, the network in Britain that produces the popular drama. Spoiler alert — don't keep reading if you don't want to be spoiled.
We already know the two-hour special will take place heavily in London (Buckingham Palace, here we come!) and feature actors playing the real-life King George V and the Prince of Wales. Now we have a bit more information about the program. More of the episode description reads:
The family and servants are at Grantham House, their London residence, preparing for the busy social program. Not one to miss such a grand occasion, Cora's mother, Martha Levinson makes the journey from New York with her playboy son Harold, fresh from his recent brush with the law. Both outspoken and larger-than-life, they make quite an impression amongst certain members of London's high society, in particular with Lord Aysgarth, played by James Fox.
Isobel finds herself with an admirer while Edith is wrestling with a moral dilemma. Downstairs, Daisy gets an unexpected invitation and Carson treats the staff to a special day out.
We were wondering what would become of Lady Edith, with her pregnancy and planned trip to Switzerland with Aunt Rosamund. Does mean she hasn't decided what to do yet? And could Michael Gregson perhaps still turn up for her? That would be a Christmas miracle indeed. We do hope that happens.
In these pictures, check out Shirley MacLaine's triumphant return as Cora's mother, Martha Levinson, and Paul Giamatti's debut as her brother, Harold. Dashing playboy, indeed. Above, he sits with actress Poppy Drayton, who is playing Lord Aysgarth's daughter Madeline.

Cuba Libre
With its jungles, Caribbean beaches and historic towns, a trip to Cuba is ripe with opportunity. Virgin Holidays is offering a one-week stay at the three-star Hotel Telegrafo (above), which was built in Havana's colonial Old Town in 1860, for £599 per person. Based on departures from Gatwick on 19 or 22 June, the price includes flights with Virgin Atlantic and a buffet breakfast.
Beat the heat
A trip to Madrid is best enjoyed before the mercury soars during the summer. Travel on 5 June with easyJet Holidays and stay for three nights at the Hostal Ballesta for £122 per person, room only. The price includes return flights from Luton. Though the hotel is basic, its central location makes it easy to explore the architectural feats of the Plaza Mayor, the expanses of Retiro Park, and the shopping on the Gran Vía.
Ionian idyll
Still pondering half-term options? There are still deals to be had. For example, a family break on Kefalonia with Ionian Island Holidays. Stay in a two-bedroom suite at the Kalokeri Apartments for £493 per person for a self-catering week. The price includes return flights from either Gatwick (with Monarch) or Manchester (with bmi) departing on 28 May. Resort transfers, a welcome hamper and three days' car hire are also included.

Loved it! And the funny thing is, this vague silhouette provides still more detail as to Darcy and Elizabeth's looks than Austen gave us.
This is lovely! Would we be able to use this on @StrictlyJane Twitter and facebook? We'd happily credit you. If so please let me know.
Nice wallpaper thanks..
the titles are clever, too.
Thanks. ^.^
This is amazing, by the way.
This is amazing, by the way.
lovely my new wallpaper now ^^
That is so cool! How did you do that?
I am a huge Jane austen fan and I just LOVE silhouettes. Pride and Prejudice is my fave of her stories. Thanks for posting this.
GOR. GEOUS. I love silhouettes and overlays. This is perfect!
This looks absolutely beautiful!
awesome!! are the sillhouettes pages from the book?
Thanks! They are not specific pages they're quotes compiled from the book. Each silhouette has quotes said by the character or about them, a few are conversations.
wow...how much time did that take?!
Once I finally went through and organized and chose all the final quotes it didn't take too long, a couple hours (I already had all the drawings scanned in and cleaned up). It could have gone faster but I wanted to find the prefect quotes and conversations that best illustrated their character and wanted them to appear in an order that showed the character's development in life and their relationship. I knew not many people would read them but it gave the picture greater meaning to me. Thanks for asking makes the work even more worth it.
Love it! <3
best book EVER!!!! and this is beautiful, nice work! xxx

The Angels sent Matt Shoemaker down to triple A 10 days ago after he struggled for the second consecutive start. What he needed to fix to have success in the majors was not complicated, they insisted, but he needed to do it before he pitched here again.
He needed to locate his fastball down in the zone and use it to set up his remaining offerings, particularly his once-great splitter.
"It's in him," Manager Mike Scioscia said Wednesday afternoon, as the Angels turned to him to fix their plagued pitching rotation.
It was not on Wednesday night, when Shoemaker finished only four innings, yielding seven hits and four runs and...

Ha! I've been doing it a while now and I still don't have a feel for what a cross can produce! Even someone with the expertise of Chuck gets surprised as he pointed out on the 'intense' seedling he posted. If I grow the grandparents as well as the parents I do marginally better, but generally I'm terrible at guessing or predicting what'll come out of a cross. I'm beginning to do better at predicting some traits coming out of some parents when I've used them, but they tend to have more to do with form and substance than color if there's much of a wild color card anywhere in the background. I don't mind that, really. Good thing I don't. I rather think the best get surprised relatively often.

Linfield up for fight to keep their cup
David Jeffrey is looking forward to seeing his old pal Ronnie McFall tonight, but the pleasantries won't last long.
Ahead of his side's arrival at Shamrock Park for the first leg of their Co-operative Insurance Cup quarter-final tie, the Linfield boss has a simple message for anyone prepared to listen: "This is our trophy and we will not give it up lightly."
And you don't have to cast your mind back too far to see evidence of that commitment.
The Blues were supposedly dead and buried when they went to Stangmore Park after trailing Dungannon Swifts 3-0 in the first leg of their third round tussle.
But you write off Linfield at your peril and a 4-1 victory in Tyrone underlined the hunger and desire which still flows through the club's ranks.
Linfield have had a Jekyll and Hyde season to date so it's difficult to predict what Blues team will turn up in mid-Ulster this evening, but Jeffrey is not a man who tolerates complacency.
"I'm looking forward to seeing big Ronnie again," said Jeffrey.
"They seemed to have got used to the league they are in , they did tremendously well against Cliftonville in the last round and they won't be lacking motivation.
"The only thing that is concerning me now is the injury situation as Noel Bailie came off with a calf injury against Crusaders and we still have six other lads out.
"It'll be a tough game, but the players are looking forward to it.
"This is the type of game Portadown are used to playing in and their players are used to playing in.
"With respect to the other teams in the Championship, they will raise their game against us, but we will not give our trophy up lightly and we proved that down at Dungannon.
"We showed great battling qualities and fighting spirit when we had to. That shows what this trophy means to everyone at the club."
Linfield go into the game with renewed confidence after the vital 3-2 win at Crusaders in the Premiership on Saturday.
The three points sees them sit five points behind Glentoran at the top of the table, with a game in hand.
"We are delighted with the big win at Crusaders but the fact remains that we have conceded too many goals and we are having to work too hard to win games," said Jeffrey.
"We are having to work harder than we ever have done before but that's credit to other teams."
The Windsor Park men missed the driving runs from the middle of Jamie Mulgrew while he was out injured, but the 22-year-old was up to his sublime tricks yet again at Seaview on Saturday.
He rarely wastes possession and Linfield look so much more dangerous in attack when he is sprinting forward and spraying passes out wide like the one which enabled Glenn Ferguson to hit his stunner against Crusaders — Linfield's 50th goal of the season.
"When you analyse the first goal at Seaview you will see Jamie's driving run from the centre of the park and that's what he brings to the team, superb energy and invention," added Jeffrey.
"For the second goal Jamie was involved as well with a great run down the right and ball into the box for Michael Carvill to produce a superb, controlled finish.
"At no stage did we feel comfortable or able to relax against the Crues and that is the way it will be for all the teams in this league. You have to earn all the points that come your way."

Foil fencing by Susie Rushton
At the age of 29, I did something I never thought I'd do. I bought a sword – a sliver of flexible steel called a foil, 90cm long with a blob of black rubber on the tip. I'd been attending a fencing class for six months, and this was my financial commitment to a sport I'd begun on a whim.
To test how the foil felt, I dropped into an en guard stance, exactly as I'd been taught, in the middle of the store: right foot pointing forward, left at 90 degrees, knees bent, straight back, head erect, left arm raised as a counterbalance to the sword arm, which, foil in hand, now practised jabbing attacks. It was the most thrilling purchase I've ever made.
Why fencing? It wasn't anything to do with Madonna, Luke Skywalker or Errol Flynn, nor was it out of nostalgia for the age of duelling – although fencing undoubtedly suffers its share of pretentious idiots. And no, we never say "touché" when making a hit on target (which, by the way, is the torso area, excluding arms and neck).
There's no denying the loveliness of the outfit – high-waisted breeches, mask, that collarless jacket. But that's not the reason (I swear). I did hope fencing would make me more co-ordinated. Graceful, even. And it did, in small ways. But after the first months of gruelling training, that became irrelevant. The sport obsesses me for that particular feeling a fencer experiences when you're living on your wits and the accuracy of your foil. Combat, I suppose. "To face an adversary in armed combat," wrote the greatest fencer of all, Aldo Nadi, "is one of the most exciting experiences in life."
Foil fencing is one of the original sports of the modern Olympic Games. But it suffers one great disadvantage; it has almost no "watchability". Fencers of Olympic standard, loose-limbed but crouching low like stalking cats, will parry and attack at such speed that even the referee relies on an electronic scoreboard merely to keep track of who's winning.
They won't make the dramatic swashbuckling motions of the Three Musketeers. Such an easy-to-predict style of attack would be pointless. The fencer aims for tiny movements, subtlety and deception. "Feints" are fake attacks meant to provoke foolish counter-attack, and the top-class fencer uses endless tricks. Stratagems are planned four, five or six moves in advance. You could say that the real weapon isn't the foil but the ability to second-guess intentions while masking one's own. (Winston Churchill was the public schools champion fencer.)
So I don't think more people should watch fencing; I think more of us, especially children, should do fencing. Far from encouraging aggression, it teaches self-control. The instant a fencer loses his or her temper, the bout is lost. In this country, unlike Italy or Hungary, whose fencers dominate the Olympics, fencing is considered arcane and posh. Nine thousand adults pursue fencing as a hobby in the UK, but it is taught in only a handful of schools. Which makes me wonder: might not British youth benefit from a sport that channels the adrenalin rush of playing with knives into the most civilised event at the Olympics?
The Madison by Simon O'Hagan
If you're one of those people whose idea of cycling TV heaven is a lingering aerial shot of a sunlit Loire chateau, with the peloton fluttering across the rolling landscape like a brightly-coloured ribbon, then you're in for a shock when you sit down to watch the main cycling events at the Olympics. But stick with it. Track cycling can be just as compelling as the Tour de France.
I've never raced on the track myself. It's just too scary. A bike without brakes? No thanks. The nearest I've come are ceremonial laps of the historic Herne Hill velodrome in south London. The banking is very steep, and you wonder why you don't topple over.
It was at Herne Hill that Britain's No1 cycling Olympian Bradley Wiggins honed his skills. Bradley has ridden the Tour, and the Giro d'Italia, and at the Athens Olympics in 2004 he won gold, silver and bronze, the best tally by any Briton at a Games since Mary Rand in 1964.
Bradley means a lot to me – partly because his old London home is quite near where I live, and partly because my then 11-year-old daughter and I met him when we were on holiday in France and went to see a race. Bradley was not yet famous, and he chatted and gave us his autograph.
The event I'm really looking forward to seeing him in is called the Madison, in which he'll team up with Mark Cavendish, the brash young Manxman who with four stage wins was the sprint sensation of this year's Tour de France.
The Madison is a slightly bonkers event. It takes its name from Madison Square Garden in New York, where it originated in the late 19th century, and involves teams riding a 50km, 200-lap race in pairs. This is the crazy bit: at any given time, only one half of each pair is racing. The other is cruising round, waiting to take his turn. It's a form of relay.
The point at which the baton – figuratively speaking – changes hands is a mini-drama in itself. Let's say Cavendish is racing. He'll have bombed a few laps round the extreme inside edge of the track – the flat part – and when his turn is done, Wiggins will come swooping down the bank and ride up alongside him, presaging the moment that makes the Madison special.
To maintain maximum collective speed, Cavendish will then grab Wiggins's hand and sling him down the track – the so-called handsling. It's a highly skilful manoeuvre fraught with danger, and it brings a touch of the big top to the velodrome. The whole process is replicated throughout the field of 15 or so pairs, and the scenes appear chaotic. There are other complexities involving sprint competitions within the race, and at times it's quite hard to work out what's going on. But that's cycling.
Wiggins and Cavendish are the Madison world champions, and favourites for the Olympic title. Sling it to 'em, lads.
Women's gymnastics by Susannah Frankel
"The Games might officially hark back to the freedom-loving ideals of Ancient Greece, cradle of democracy," writes Mark Simpson in the current issue of Arena Homme+ magazine, "but it takes a good old-fashioned totalitarian state to show us what they really mean: ideology and iconography plus choreography." Such a mindset will be nowhere more evident than in the gymnastic events – and women's gymnastics in particular. These are beautiful children – the utopian future.
And they are superhuman creatures in their own right. Most of us can do a somersault. At a push, we might pull off a cartwheel. Such basic skills, though, do not an Olga Korbut make.
Boasting unparalleled grace and superlative strength, it was Korbut who made this the most popular of Olympic sports – her elfin form capable of brute force, her cheeky, childlike appearance going hand-in-hand with rigour and determination, proved irresistible. Guided by the great Soviet coaches who decreed that an aesthetically pleasing and characterful performance was as important as technical expertise, Korbut transformed the sport. Even she, though, could not achieve that rare thing, the perfect 10. The first of these was awarded to even tinier, and prettier, Nadia Comaneci of Romania.
In Beijing, their successors must shine brightly. Great bravery is required on the parallel bars, where every gravity-defying turn causes billions on sofas around the world to hold their breath and wince in anticipation.
Most of all, though, the floor routines are destined to win the hearts of the audience. With nothing but a tinny soundtrack, a leotard and their bodies to work with, these preternaturally perky girls with their gappy smiles, crooked fringes and girlish bunches tear about the arena like souped-up 12-year-olds.
As if human interest here wasn't enough, there is the competitive sub-plot. Just as Korbut and her generation played out the Cold War through sport, this time the battle is between three superpowers: Russia, the US and China. "Another Communist giant is hosting the Games, determined to exploit them for every scrap of propaganda," Simpson argues. And who could dream up more potent mascots?
Beach volleyball by Guy Adams
The year was 1986. I was eight years old, and my favourity hobby was re-enacting Top Gun. Like many who watched that film several times over, I developed a mild obsession with a scene that showcased an obscure sport called beach volleyball. Here was a game that had it all: sun, sea, sand and manly athleticism. In Hollywood soft focus, it looked like a leisure pursuit for clean-living action heroes, people who might high-five over a bottle of Bud before jumping on a motorcycle and riding off to save the world and get the girl. I was hooked.
Fast forward 20 years. I arrive in Santa Monica to become Los Angeles correspondent for this newspaper. A mile from my front door is one of the most famous beaches in the world – which is also home to the world's largest concentration of beach volleyball courts. Soon, I'm hooked again.
At its simplest level, beach volleyball is identical to the indoor version, but played on sand. The purpose is to knock the ball into your opponent's court, using arms or hands, without it being knocked back. In pro games, there are two players per side. The first to 21 points wins a set; best of three sets wins the match.
The game, introduced at the 1996 Olympics in Atlanta, is now one of the hottest Olympic tickets. You can put this box-office appeal down to two factors. First, sex. The men play in Bermuda shorts, women in bikinis. They all have deep golden tans. Brazil's players resemble pin-ups, and the US and South African teams are full of "hotties".
Second, it's a terrific sport, requiring a mixture of power, skill, occasional finesse and tactical awareness. And you need to be fast, strong and super-fit.
This year's men's tournament is wide open, but the women's event is likely be dominated by the American duo of Kerry Walsh and Misty May-Treanor. If you do catch any of their games, try to ignore those bikinis and appreciate their exquisite athleticism. Because that's what beach volleyball is all about.
Synchronised swimming by Nicole Mowbray
Synchronised swimming is a combination of swimming, gymnastics and dance, done to music, in a pool. The music is even piped under the water.
My fascination with synchronised swimming began at an early age, when I was forced to go to swimming club. In a neighbouring pool were some far less red-faced girls in swimming caps flexing their legs out of the water, toes pointed to the sky. It looked like a doss compared with 50 lengths of crawl. And they looked so glamorous.
In professional tournaments, few synchronised swimmers wear caps, instead lubing their hair back into a bun with industrial strength gel. Synchronised swimming is allabout the aesthetic. Participants don't wear goggles because they don't look very nice. Can you imagine other Olympians doing without vital equipment because it looks a bit crap? How about cyclists ditching their helmets because it makes their barnet dodgy or hockey goalkeepers binning their padding because it makes them look a bit fat? Vanity is all part of the contest in synchro – even the nose-clips are skin-coloured. So important is the look that it actually contributes to the overall mark awarded: "artistic merit", as it's termed, gets 60 per cent of the marks. The remaining 40 per cent goes towards technical skill. Although it may look effortless, synchronised swimming is a very technical sport.
Trying to stay synchronised – not only with the other swimmers, but with the music – and crucially, never touching the floor, is an exercise in futility. And then you have to factor in the exceptional breath-control needed to stay underwater all that time.
Synchronised swimming first came into being in Canada, some time in the early 1900's. It was, and still is, a sport primarily practised by women, and became an Olympic sport in 1984, after the hosts, Los Angeles (come on people, who else?!) introduced it to the games. You can compete solo, in pairs and as a team – Olympic teams consist of nine people – and although the British haven't qualified (nothing to do with my poor teaching, I'm sure) be sure to catch the Russians or Canadians.
Taekwondo by Sophie Morris
I thought the Olympic Games were all sailing, stick-and-ball sports, and running and jumping – traditional and quite jolly pastimes, all of which I have participated in at some point (but none of which I would take time out from my Grey's Anatomy boxed sets to watch).
Why does everyone make such a hullabaloo about members of the royal family trotting a horse around an obstacle course, I wonder? How did substandard national football teams and fully-grown adults knocking a tiny ball around a table with a miniature bat become appointment viewing? But then I noticed taekwondo in the sporting schedule – exactly the Olympic pastime to indulge my new obsession with martial arts.
I practise Muay Thai boxing, a 3,000-year-old form of street-fighting undertaken in shiny silk shorts. It is also known as the Art of the Eight Limbs, because jabbing and kicking using the elbows and knees is a principal element. In fact, pretty much anything goes.
Taekwondo, a 20th-century Korean invention, is Muay Thai's respectable offspring. Its form is less open to interpretation and the rules stricter. It is a blend of martial arts and, as such, the flag bearer (alongside judo) for all of them at the games. With only terrestrial television in my living room, the opportunities to watch martial arts are limited to almost zero, so the chance to watch hours of taekwondo over the next month is not something I shall be passing up.
I am more than a little ashamed to come out in support of such a violent sport, but it is, of course, the mental agility which attracted me (you try working out whether to kick someone in the thigh, elbow him in the chest or send his head spinning backwards with a sharp uppercut, all while a gloved fist is heading straight for your nose), but I can't deny the feeling of those endorphins rushing around my body after a spot of kicking and punching.
At my first Muay Thai class the teacher told me to improve my kick by imagining I was kicking in a door, which wasn't something I had much experience in. Why were my wrists so weak, he asked, when they should be locked? Without strong wrists, you can't drive the power from your body down your arm and into your fists for that knockout punch. It was clear my teacher would have his work cut out.
The inventive theatricality of martial arts make much better watching than the plodding of Western boxing.
Martial arts heroes were – and still are in many countries – the footballers of their day, but they require much more than ball control. Do you recall ever seeing a footballer turn and bow at the opponent who he has just fouled?
If that hasn't persuaded you, think of the practicalities of taekwondo. Can you name any other sport you can do wearing your pyjamas?
The triathlon by Simon Usborne
On Sunday afternoon I will be standing at the edge of the Royal Victoria Dock, a murky expanse of cold water in the windswept east-London hinterland, wearing a tight wetsuit, an even tighter rubber cap and a pair of goggles. On any other day of the year I would look like a rare species of whale, or a gimp without his mask, but not this weekend, when I will be among 11,000 similarly dressed men and women taking part in the world's largest triathlon.
In less than two weeks, the world's top triathletes will be doing the same thing, at Beijing's Ming Tombs reservoir, for what will be only the sport's third Olympic outing. Triathlon could not be farther removed from the pure events on which the Games were founded – the kit list is almost as long as a javelin – and the races are unlikely to get much airtime, but the combination of swimming, cycling and running is surely one of the most compelling events in the schedule.
Triathlon is also one of the world's fastest-growing sports – an unparalleled test of endurance and all-round fitness that uses all the body's muscles. When a klaxon sounds at regular intervals over the weekend, my rivals and I will set off in groups and, resembling shoals of cannibalistic piranhas, swim to the far end of the dock and back. After 1,500 metres (60 lengths of your average local baths) we'll clamber onto the dockside to collect our bikes, peeling back our wetsuits like banana skins as we run.
For the bike leg, a 40km (25 mile), two-lap circuit to Tower Bridge and back, most of us will be wearing a garment called a trisuit: an all-in-one Lycra affair with a built-in quick-drying chamois at the crotch for a softer bike ride, it's only a slightly more modest version of Borat's "mankini" (a word of caution to fellow trisuit wearers: don't post pictures on Facebook – you will be ridiculed). But the indecent garb can stay on for the whole race, saving time at the two transitions. And we triathletes are prepared to look like gimps to save seconds.
The race ends with a punishing 10km (6.2 mile) run. By this time, the finishing line cannot come soon enough. I did my first triathlon at Windsor in June and felt like throwing up after I finished in two hours and 32 minutes (the guys in Beijing will break the tape at least 45 minutes quicker than that).
The murky waters, the unflattering gear and the urge to vomit – why would anyone want to do triathlon?
"It's worth it just for the incredible buzz that comes with really pushing yourself," Tim Don, the 2006 world champion and British Beijing hopeful, told me last year. And he's right – whether you're gunning for gold or just trying to get round without dying, the sense of achievement that comes with crossing the line makes this Olympic newcomer my favourite sport at the games. Just don't expect to see any pictures on Facebook this time round.
Sailing by Jonathan Brown
For the average landlubber, sailing remains a sport which can seem frustratingly hard to access. First you need a boat (not cheap), some specialist kit (also not cheap) and then somewhere to sail (often quite a long way away). Then there are the safety issues, transport issues and problems of tide and wind – too windy and you can't sail, not windy enough and you may as well not bother. Oh yes, and this can change at any moment while out sailing.
And then, of course, there is the baffling language. In sailing nothing has the right name. The front is the bow, the back is the stern. Left is port, right is starboard. Confused? You will be. Then there are the knots, the widgets and that spaghetti maze of coloured ropes and strings (none of which are called ropes and strings, naturally.) The final and to some, insurmountable barrier, is the presence of the yachtie, that upper-class Gore-Tex-clad, hale and hearty who – it is popularly believed – can be found braying loudly at every quayside bar.
So with all these issues to overcome, how can it be that sailing is so popular in Britain? It is estimated that there are some 500,000 boat-owners in the UK while a further 185,000 take a RYA training course each year. The answer is simple – no other sport is so challenging or, ultimately, so rewarding.
It may come as a surprise to sports fans fixated on the serial disappointments of track and field but Britannia really does rule the waves – we are the most successful Olympic sailing country of all time, topping the medal tables at both the recent Sydney and Athens games. As well as the superlative Ainslie, Team GB can expect another major haul in Beijing with Sarah Ayton's crew in the yngling class (see what I mean?) reigning supreme as current world champions as well as a slew of medal hopefuls competing in many of the other 11 types of boat.
Anyone who has taken to the water cannot but help to be impressed with the skills of these athletes. Sailing is at once a test of mental and physical prowess. For "improvers" like me it is a constant race between mind and body for which is going to collapse into a pile of jelly first. To be the best it is necessary to push the boat to the absolute maximum, sailing constantly on the point of disaster to squeeze the maximum speed out of the wind. Races are won and lost on the slightest of things – when to tack, altering a sail shape just a touch, keeping the boat that little bit flatter by hanging precariously from a trapeze over the water as it rushes beneath you (a killer on stomach and thigh muscles). When a boat is being sailed at maximum velocity in a stiff breeze, it begins to aquaplane, sending out an exhilarating ringing sound which excites and frightens in equal measures.
The best sailors, and Britain's clubs boast a huge number of top-class amateurs can read both wind and tide with a quite astonishing accuracy. They are also ruthlessly competitive. And, when it comes to the interaction of crew and helm there are some who enjoy an almost telepathic relationship, knowing exactly what to do and when to do it to winkle out the tiniest of advantages.
So, when the Olympic coverage switches to the site of boats speeding across the water at Qingdao over the next few weeks, remember that this is a sport that requires extraordinary expertise, determination and physical strength, and is unlike any other, perhaps, as athlete not only battles athlete, but the forces of nature.
