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,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

Debstir 10k run, 40k cycle, 5k run. Oh dear... Oh dear right enough. Only about 8 females out of a total of about 50ish. Not looking good from the start for me then. 10k was ok(ish) but more like 9k. I came in last. 48:50mins. Faff off the centuary in T1, got helmet & bike shoes on, stuffed some gels in my pocket & took bike out T1 - then had to put my gloves on. D'oh! 0:56mins. The bike course was hard - the flat first miles would have been quick had it not been such a strong headwind. Nice downhill but a lot of the 2nd half was uphill. Twice. Not another bike to be seen. Still last. (25.39miles) 1:44:01. T2 - came in to T2 in tears as I was so disheartened by seeing everyone else finishing their 5k run. Thankfully I had my glasses on. Left T2 still in tears and not breathing well through the sobs - 0:32mins. Out on the 5k (4k?) run, still upset but still running. Got some very kind words from a lady who passed me (figure of eight loop - I was going left & she was going right) and I knew I could finish, maybe not as far behind everyone as I thought (I thought about 30 mins after everyone else). Ploughed on to the finish and have never been so glad to be handed a bottle of water & a medal at the end of something. 23:41mins. Total time - 2:57:30. Quite pleased as I secretly thought 3 hours but I think the runs were short measured. Will I do it next year? Probably...
