Sunday: my first ever Sprint Triathlon Absolutely loved it!!!
Total time was 1:29:39 making me 151 placed out of 185
Most importantly I wasn't last! Unfortunately they didn't have timing mats for all the transition points and I decided not to worry about timing myself so as to concentrate on enjoying it
Times according to the chip
151 Morag Female Swim place: 84 00:08:37 Bike place: 129 00:46:45 Run place: 172 00:34:17 Total 01:29:39
I know the swim time was right, but bike time included transition of shoes, belt, climbing into leggings etc so I think actual bike was more likely around 43min (giving me average 17mph). Then the run again included racking bike, changing shoes so I *think* I ran the 5k in about 30min which would be my best time ever
Will upload the embarrassing pics soon but the really astonishing thing for me was that I loved every single second. None of it felt terrible, I managed to run the whole way which was one of my goals, and it felt doable all the time. I'm pretty sure I could have pushed it harder, but since I still finished 15mins less than my target time, what the heck!!!
Roll on the next challenge and wetsuit shopping....
