Windsor Triathlon

No excuses and was quite pleased when I crossed the line but overall feel that if I actually had done some serious training I could have gone sub 2:45. Here are the splits:

• Swim   33:36 -  a sort of swim/walk
• T1   3:44 - rubbish time! What was I doing?
• Cycle   1:17:12 - windy course but should have done this sub 1:15. Average speed 32.64km/h
• T2   2:51 - again - too much time
• Run 53:35 - about as good as I can up and down that hill 3 times is knackering

Total time 2:50:58

Position: Age group 69 out of 125 and total 898 out of 1441

Goal next year to go under 2:45 and inside the top 50 age grouper...... and having got over the open water swim demons anything is possible.

Only question now do I enter the Reading tri in Sept......I have got the taste for this distance now and want to really crack 2:45 
 

June Update

So, I have the Windsor triathlon this coming Sunday which I am both excited and nervous about. Hope I can kill my swim doubts and kick arse as I know I can.

Virgin London Marathon 2014 already booked in so looking forward to that as well as the Wokingham half and the Reading Half in 2014.  And the small matter of the Oxford Half in October 2013 to pace hopefully.

And then, if Sunday goes well will book up for the Reading Triathlon in September where I am told it all began in the UK.

Getting sick of eating salads to make sure I can fit ito the wetsuit on Sunday. This winter has been rubbish for training.  

And finally waiting for the new bike to arrive......will it make me faster? Nope, but it will make me feel great and at 50 that's very important!!! 

And finally I have an IM urge again for 2014.  It depends on work but am so tempted it is wierd.
