Swim
Comments: Managed to rip the zipper completely off the suit as I was trying to fasten it in the minutes before entering the water, as the zip broke from the suit, the metal clasp sprung up and straight down on my head leaving a nice cut and plenty of blood, I wasn't aware until after I removed the swim cap that I had split my head open. Still managed to get round to swim with the suit wide open at the back and letting in plenty of water. What would you do differently?: New suit, and prepare the suit better Transition 1
Comments: Slower in T1 than I thought, long run to T1 from the end of swim, including wading time. suit was not too much trouble to remove. learnt from a couple of guys there how to lay out kit so wasn't too bad. Bike
Comments: Really nice flat smooth course, some small inclines and some nice long run outs. able to stay aero through most of the race. Transition 2
Comments: Good Transition, only down side was I ran up the wrong isle and had to round the top adding a few seconds on. Run
Comments: first 1km cramp in both legs, managed to run that off and get into a pretty good rhythm, after the first 3km I was feeling good, managed to pickup the pace and push a little harder on the final 2km. Post race
Event comments: A very well organised and executed event, well worth checking out next year for anyone in the North West. It was the first tri for 50% of the participants (myself include), the lake swim can be a little unnerving with the plant life not far below the surface surrounding your feet at times, but swim along the surface you are fine.
