Open Water swim

Well done for getting through the Open water swim Andy - a learning experience for next time no doubt! If I can fit back in my bit too snug wet-suit, I might try one next year... :)

Well done on the PB Martin - great ride! btw you asked in passing about how old you had to be to be eligible to join the VTTA (after I was given a...

Well done guys

I decided to travel via redditch for this event - and got caught in an horrendous queue for the Studley Car Boot Sale. Consequently I was late and didn't start in my original slot. I went off at number 36. Unfortunately I didn't pick my time up at the end (I do know it was slow though!). The course ...

Result: Warwickshire Sprint Triathlon 2012

Well. it was a bit windy - but at least it didn't rain! Interesting pool swim in that you swam 4 lengths in 1 lane, ducked under the rope, swam 4 in the next and then under the rope for 4 more in the final lane. I took it steady. Cycle course was fairly flat with one long drag in there. Pleased that...

I passed down part of this route a couple of days ago - there were roadworks on the road leading up to the first hill - but hopefully they will have cleared up now. Hope to be there anyway!

Just checked tonight - all clear now :)

600m pool swim 26 mile cycle (with a couple of challenging hills) 10k flat out and back run. Not the easiest of cycle courses so I was pleased with my time of 01:32:04 for the cycle. Just pipped my younger brother with this :) but he beat me overall by 3 seconds - mainly due to quicker transitions. ...

Slippy when wet!

It did sting when I had a shower I have to say! I checked the r/b I came off at - it was actually the one off which Appletree Lane runs. Apart from the fall, an enjoyable ride! (but how come it's uphill going out AND uphill coming back? :) )
