Challenge Henley Middle Distance done and dusted

All done and over with.

A great day all round if slightly over shadowed by a small OW issue that I need to get my head around. In other words a rubbish swim which should be one of my strongest disciplines. Nevermind, loads of time to sort that here, so here are times from Sunday:

  • Swim   44.38 (1.9km)
  • T1   6.06
  • Bike   2:53:46 (maxed out at 64.7km/h) 81.5km
  • T2   4.25
  • Run   1:57:57 (21.5km)
Total time   5:46:53

I have no idea where this put me in my age group and frankly don't care that much as I am just in the 45-49 group so am racing guys 5 years younger than me. Watch out next year then I will take an interest as I jump into the 50-54 group.

Absolutely delighed with the bike leg - the ZIPP wheels are making such a difference. So much so that they are now going into hybernation for the winter to be saved for next year's racing.

Next challenge - Reading half in March, but I may sneak in a half before that.

I have already booked in Windsor and will probably do Henley again it was so much fun. As to another IM, thats a whole different story.......
