Subject: RE: Brits role call!Hi guys,
I've not been on in a while, but I thought I'd say hi! and ask whether anyone else on here took part in the ridiculously hot London Triathlon this last weekend.
I damaged my ankle around two months ago which really put the kibosh on my training, but as I'd committed to raising money for Survival International for this race I went ahead with it and completed my first ever Sprint distance triathlon on the saturday just gone!!!
It was the hardest thing I've ever done (the heat didn't help )! I would advise anyone that hasn't done a tri before to seriously consider swimming technique lessons, the Thames swim was the worst part of the race, and the only point that I contemplated that I might not finish...
I'm really pleased to have gotten to the end of the race, albeit in a ridiculously slow time (2:05:53 )
But the good news is, I'm already planning my next race and more importantly my elevated training schedule...
Triathlons are great!!!
