Blithfield Sprint Tri

Today was my nect sprint Tri. I certainly felt better on the bike and rub than I did during the Ashbourne Sprint Tri back in May! Must be the French Alps agreeing with me 8-). Butthe swim was dire. A timed 16:15 for 750m!! I've not been that slow for . . . . . can't remember! I didn't feel too bad in the water but I was slowwwwww. Oh well, do some more swimming and don't get hung up on it. I've never been competitive over the sprint distance but a good course and nice weather made for a good race. I actually finished 2nd in Cat but should really have raced the Standard Distance I think. I got held up on the bike quite badly. Being so slow in the swim I was passing cyclists ahead of me like crazy. However, cars were stuck amongst the slower cyclists and I won't overtake cars. So I got held up and the ride was a bit stop/start. But enough complaining. The run was ok averaging 3:59/k. Could do with some speed but felt strong. My transitions were bad but there was no way I would have caught the winner of my Cat. Onwards and upwards. I have a Sportive on 11 August and could do with a Standard Distance race soon. . . .
