Did you enjoy your first experience of tri ?
How did you do ?
Paul
I'm a Masters swimmer, hence the relatively late start time - my bike and (especially) run are much weaker than my swim! This meant I got passed by LOADS of people which could have been a bit disheartening, but I was expecting it so didn't let it faze me, and I managed to dig deep and finish strongly, even if I could hardly stand up when I got over the line
How was your race?

Linda when do you think you might do another ?
My race went fairly well although I didn't quite acheive my target time of beating 1hr 20 min !!
Managed 1hr 20min 31sec .
This is mainly due to the fact that I need to spend more time improving my running ,although my run seemed to go very well by my standards , I will know more when they put the split times on the website .
Looking to do the 1485 no thrills Duathlon next month ,cause this is only a few miles from where I live .
I've heard that Duathlons are harder then Tri's though , maybe someone has an opinion ?

I struggled at the start of the run going up those grass banks but at least they propelled you into the home staight on the way back. I had done a couple of brick sessions using the bike course and last years run course, fail to see how it could be described as flatter.
Had a great day but it's the only one i've done so can't compare it. Chip timing would have been good though.
Finished in 325th with splits: 00:11:58, 00:41:20, 00:26:04, 01:19:22
Well done as well to Bullet and Limeycat
