Newbury triathlon results
Roger managed a very impressive 1:34:51 for his first triathlon. I was especially impressed by the fact that he beat his 5k PB by a couple of minutes. This demonstrates the work that he's put in recently. Now he has something to aim for in the next one!
I managed to beat last year's time by 2 minutes (1:0:56), despite the organisers extending the run by a few hundred metres! More exciting for me, though,
I managed to beat last year's time by 2 minutes (1:0:56), despite the organisers extending the run by a few hundred metres! More exciting for me, though,
was that I was 42nd out of 358, which feels great to
me. I know it's a big beginner's event, but being (almost - 1m 27
seconds off) in the top 10% is just great.
For some reason I didn't feel good after the event. I think I felt distracted with other people around me (no complaint against them, just my head didn't feel right), and my transitions felt pretty god-awful too. In T2 I couldn't find my rack-point and got mixed up with someone else's trainers. It felt like minutes wasted (although the video shows it was only seconds), and then on the run I just didn't feel right - a half-way wee didn't help, and I got to the end feeling like I had lots of gas left but no 'enthusiasm'. This is the first time I've felt so unhappy after a race, and I haven't worked out why just yet. Something to work on for next time!
