Anybody race this weekend? if so, where? what distance? and, most importantly, how did you do??
i raced the Big Cow sprint tri at Emberton park, really good event, well organised. i love it, i've done it the past 3 years. i came 39th in my agegroup (out of 152) and did a PB of 1:13. very pleased with myself![:)]

I did the event last year for my first ever Tri - and remember being stunned at the number of triathletes around. I love the organisation at this event - and the family interest is briliant. I was discussing it with my daughter and suggesting she could bring one of her friends next year. She said "I don't think so - they're not as sporty as me." Job done.
Windsor next - I felt like the sprint wasn't too difficult after completing 2 olympics last year - but I'm praying Windsor is not as hot this year as people say it was last year. I don't like running in the heat! I better step up the training....
Blenheim next to me, and the aim is to do more running now! [image]http://forum.220magazine.com/micons/m6.gif[/image]
200m swim 3.38
12k bike 31.02
2.5k run 13.53
Enjoyed the swim, died in the ride and was pleased to be out of pain on my v s..l..o..w run. Came 6th overall and was 3rd fastest senior male.[:)]. Transitions went like a dream thanks to the number belt and elastic laces. Room for improvement on most areas but aint there always!!
Didnt know what to expect as only really run 6 to 7 miles in training.
Quite happy with 1.34.00, feeling it today though[&:]
400m swim 6;47
15 mile cycle (cycle time wasn't registered)
4 miles (not very accurate) 23 mins and summut!
My total time was 1hr 14
My time would have looked better had i not missed an arrow and taken a needless 2 minute detour!!!
still pleased though as it was first race this season.
London next... cant wait!
Oddly, my T1 was much faster than I remember and the bike was slower than I thought. Goes to show how time is actually passing alot slower than you think while you struggle to pull the wetsuit off for what feels like hours.
