Triathlon

Another challenge down. The one that started it all off. Official time of 1 hr 18 mins 45 secs. The day didn't start well as I had a poor night's sleep and was up @ 0400. But no excuses, the objective was to compete and I did, because I turned up & I finished. Swim leg was poor, but time shows I was about my target time of 15 mins. But I felt it was poor just had one of those days. After the swim I just wanted to finish the thing! Spent far to long in the tranisition and could easily have knocked 5 mins off my time but hey I did what I did. Bike leg wasn't to bad but the head wind on the way back was a tad rough, but it was the same for everyone. Run was OK until it started to rain, but that stopped after about 5 minutes. All in all I had a good time and achieved what I set out to do, finish a triathlon. So happy days and another challenge done. Next big one? Itex Walk on 5th June (40 mile walk around the coast of Guernsey), looking forward to it :-) Thanks for stopping by
