A great event, windy, rainy but full of atmosphere and a huge crowd of hardcore triathletes and newbees (like me!)
After an unexpected good result last week at the Pendine Sprint Duo(Tri)athlon i wasn't holding my hopes for anything great as i really wanted to focus on the swim and the training element rather than the race - but you know how it is - im pretty competitive so i had to give it my best anyways.
The course was good - swim was choppy and crowded - Bike was WINDY and wet with a brutal hill thrown in too - the run was flat and hard going with wet, cold feet and a fairly boring flat bit of tarmac to pound. Results - well - a lot better than expected!
Overall 23rd! (out of 250 finishers!) in a time of 1:38mins - VERY HAPPY WITH THAT
So, not only has it been another good week of results its been another GREAT week of donations. Nearly at my target now of £1000 - so well done and THANKS to all
So - whats left? Lots of training still to do, next weekend is the Merlin Sportive (105miles) over some big hills in West Wales
Should be getting some good pics in from the Pendine and Mumbles Triathlons when they are published too!
