Olympic Triathlon - done
This will be a really short post. I have nothing to tell you of injuries, difficulties and pain; the whole thing was really enjoyable and fun. If you asked me to do it next weekend; I would.
The swim (1.5k) was in clear, mill pond water. The bike (40k) was through some really pretty countryside and the run (10k) was fiendish but bearable.
My training regime made me fit enough to complete the course (that's all) and although 3hrs 10mins isn't fab (slow bike), I wasn't a casualty or near-death.
I am about to embark upon a two week holiday consisting of steak, wine and rest ... and it will feel strange.
Some thanks go to:
Lance - for hauling me around on a mountain bike and Ian for being my tri-buddy and fellow Swanage Triathlon competitior.
To Orca and dhb for some decent kit
and to my scales for telling me I'd lost about 14 lbs over 18 weeks.
Off season training is my next hurdle, one swim, bike and run a week should do it.
