Second triathlon (Humber Sprint) 4th October 2009


The race went really really well, even though when I drove the course I was getting pretty nervous - quite a lot of long hills with steep final moment, strong headwinds and at the time very very rainy.

On the day itself it was gorgeous, cool but sunny. The hills were still really hard and my bike was creaking so clearly feeling it too :lol: but given it was much much harder than the last event I did - am pretty chuffed! Will try and get some pics up later, and I have learned to avoid the free sports massage - the bruises are still fading :x






















































Results:

Pos 136/164
Female Senior
Total time: 01:32:35
Category Pos: 11/19
Swim (plus a long run to transition!) 00:09:53
T1 00:02:11
Bike 00:47:52
T2 00:01:32
Run 00:31:07

Almost as exciting was feeling really good afterwards and not wiped out :D

The day afterward was my birthday, and thanks to my lovely folks I now own my first wetsuit - a BlueSeventy Reaction - had the chance to try it out in the endless pool in the shop, very weird but lots of fun!
