Pleased with result as back pain and nerve pain was the worst it has been. Should have cancelled, but glad i worked through the pain. This made my times slower especially the run, but did not come last.

| Pleased with result especially with two personal bests. Very hilly course for me esepcially on the run section. There were some long gradual slopes, I walked 3/4 times for about 10m at a time on some of the hills. Came 91 of 91 who finished. Came 15 of 15 in M40-49 age group |

Lake was 18 degrees, it was very hot on the run.
My swim was 12mins which is a PB  , Slower than stenying on the bike even though it was a flat course  . Disapointing on the run as i had to walk a few times  , I think swimming with the club the night before was not a good idea. I went wrong on the bike, but not the only one so the ride was more 14.5k.
it was a good work out before the Britsh Disabled Champs on June 6th |

It should have been classed as an off road tri as the conditions were poor. 2/3rds of the track was limestone/sand surface and it was so wet and slippery you had to go slow on the bike as the sand moved so much and was deep in places. this was for the run as well.
You could go flat out on the tarmac section then suddenly have to go slow, not good for trying to get into a rhythm and not good for the legs.
anyway the good news
I completed the race in 01:46:56 i wanted 1.45
Came 17 of 22 in all tri classes, but in my own catergaory
M/Tri 6 I came third and the bronze medal - i improved my time from last years comp by around 16mins

I am still alive and sun burnt, but completed my first standard distance tri. It was very windy on the bike course.
Managed to swim the 1500m, front crawl all the way The 41km bike in the same speed as Steyning.
The 10km run in around 1hr 25mins. Ran the first two 2.5km laps without stopping, nearly called it a day then, but Faye encouraged me to do the remaining two laps and thanks to her i finished  . The last two laps were a mixture of walk and run.
A big thanks go to nigel, sue, charlie and Lizzy for the help in the swimming pool.  I was pleased to swim the full disatnce in one go.

What a great weekend. We were treated like the elite racers, from individual bike racks, anounced onto the pontoon (name and country). Loud music before the race start and running commentry throughout.
Had a very competitive race group of six with the world and european champions who came 1st and 2nd and 3rd place went to a canadian who does international athletics, swimming, cycling and triathlons for his country. It is very strange the way they grouped us into Tri 3 as we we all had very different disabilities. 
I had a good race and produced a PB on the bike by an average 4kph (those time trials worked) and a PB in the 3.5km run by an average of 0.5kph  . I am getting closer to the others in the tri groups i race in.
The swim was a bit of a nightmare. The first turn point was about 50m from the start and every one reached this at the same time and there were bodies all over the place. This shoving unfortunately put me off my rhythm.
All in all a great weekend of racing, no medal but very satisfied with the improvements to finish the season off. |
