Got a podium spot in my Age Group and in the veterans category at a Spring triathlon this morning, good to test the fast twitch muscles as well as the slow now and again..
Well done! How knackering was it?
So after a year plagued by injury, illness and life just getting in the way, plodded round my only event this year a sprint Duathlon. It was sloooow, 1hr 31mins at Oulton Park. However fitness was in such a state that just finishing feels like an achievement. Of course I utterly cocked up my watch going through transition 1, didn’t notice until transition 2 so other than official timings no real data to analyse. Hey ho.Really need to work on my running as I’ve really struggled to get back to anything like the form I was in at this time last year so think the focus is going to shift to some 10k road races over the winter then maybe some mountain trail short ultras over the spring and summer. Onwards….Oh and as a final insult I forgot to press go on my Garmin head unit so got no data for cycling either. What a fuckwit.
