Hi . I'm Ricky Wilson a mountain bike rider from Northern Ireland in 2003 i finished 5th in the all Ireland downhill league and 5th in the northern ireland cross country league but at the start of the 04 season i crashed breaking my arm badly which then needed 2 operations. I've lost a lot of my confidence so i decided to concentrate on cross country, road and possibly even try a triathlon , Has anyone any training tips for in the swim as i feel that will be my weakest area ?

I used to cycle. started as a time trialist then moved to triathlon and then to MTBing, this was all a long time ago, before even front suspension on bikes.
As far as the swim, are you planning open water swims or pool swims (open water get a good wet suit - specific for triathlons). for either, Build a good base.

If you've got all that skill for DH and XC I think you should stick with it.
Road and tri are good cross training but the competition is based on physical performance while MTB involves alot of technique.
Confidence comes back, so consider a return later on if you try another discipline for a while.
