Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,

Debstir If I manage to finish the swim I'll be happy... And I did. All FC, too. That was amazing!! I was waiting to put in my official results but they're still not online so I may edit this later. UPDATE - have edited my times now with official results - all were quicker apart from T1 & T2! Swim leg. 12 noon, I'm in the first (slowest) heat. First objective - don't drown, 2nd objective - try not to be last out (not as important as '1' though). Takes me about 5 lengths to settle in, get a couple of panicky moments when I start breathing every 2nd stroke but keep FC'ing. I get tapped so stop at the end and let the other girl past, and let one of the guys past a few lengths later. By 22 lengths I'm quite comfortable and just starting to relax. After 30 lengths I'm out and down to the bike. 20:09mins (after starting my watch after 2 lengths - D'oh!) T1 - went quite well. Was quite a long run from pool to T1 and so my split here was 2:20mins. Bike leg. Fan-bliddy-tastic. Warm & sunny and a tailwind to start. Settled in to the bike quite quickly, kept my legs spinning for the first bit. Took plenty of water & energy drink. Passed two guys on the way back in (with a headwind). 49:33mins. T2 - Got bike racked quick, off with helmet, on with cap and trainers and offski. 59secs. Run leg. OMG! Started off on a hill from Hell. Legs were surprisingly ok but my lungs felt like they were going to explode. Stopped at one point, didn't walk - just stopped. Then thought 'what are you doing?' so sorted the tongues on my trainers (which were fine thank you) then off I set again. Breathing calmed down once the hill had, and soon I was halfway - and going downhill! There were a lot from my heat still heading up the hill so I couldn't have been as last as I thought out the pool after all. Got a bit confused at a turn in the road, took the correct one thankfully and within minutes I was over the finish line. My first (of hopefully many) triathlon completed. And what a buzz it was :-D 27:31 mins.
