Road racing midweek at the MK Bowl so a nice free weekend to ride out my tiredness ๐Ÿ™‚
Must be plenty of people racing stuff this weekend.
So who what where and when?

East Grinstead sprint triathlon, my first flutter with a road tri. 500m pool swim, 26k bike, 5k run, should be a good laugh!

Going to miss out the Bucks Off Road as my legs actually hurt now. Though I reckon conditions for that will be A1.
Hoping for a bit of sunshine and tarmac on my lonesome.

Tri huh? that's where the good lookers are 8)

Yeah having rather neglected training on the bike all winter to get half decent at swimming (accomplished) and running (not so much) I hope I enjoy it! Got 2 more big off-road triathlons later in the year to target though.

I finished! 8:10 for the swim, 45:30 for the bike, 20:50 for the run, 2nd in age group (not that they awarded by age group!) 19th in category.

Was quite good fun, think I prefer MTB racing though, and prefer open water tris, much easier to judge pace.
