How was it then everyone? It was my first Windsor and I loved it. I guess the running course lets it down a bit - although the hill sorts the men from the boys.
I went off at 7:30 - I think the Thames swim is great - turning around that bouy was a lot harder than it looked. I'm glad the swans decided not to pick on me - they had a go at one swimmer I saw.
London next - people say that the London is easier. I got 2:37:55 on Sunday - any idea what I should be expecting in the London tri?
as I put in other post, swim was a b!tch!!, mainly down to the current and me not swimming in anything remotely like a straight line
never mind, 2.32 was better than I hoped for.
I reckon that 5 mins off that at london is feasible. The run is flatter and less cluttered with pedestrians etc(and slightly short of 10 I think) and although the bike is similar in length (41 and bit k) its pretty flat and fast, as long as the wind doesnt hit u hard in one direction!

I'm off at 0750. Rather glad I didn't draw the 6am start.
