Just 3 weeks ago I was racing 140 miles in gale force winds on the Welsh coast and today racing 19 miles flat out on the hottest October day !!!
It was Stratford upon Avon sprint triathlon: 400m swim, 23k bike, 5k run.
Flat course and to my amazement I finished 13th, 2nd MV40 out of 390. 7.13 swim, 40.13 bike, 20.56 run, total time: 1.08.56.
Think I should now stick to sprint distances !!!
I did this event as a freebie through a contact at work so though it’s a bit of a test of the speed I had lost through my ironman training, it’s looking good hopefully !!!
