Much better than Vale of Neath Tri - much quicker.

Are there any shoes I could use without socks and replace shoe laces with quick lock laces.

Did have a little trouble getting gloves on.

Wet is an understatment - several riders ended up on the floor.

Course was 9 laps wih one small hill and a great downhill. There was no marshalling of laps and I'm sure I did 10.

Lesson learn't - always, always use the bike computer. I'd have known how far I had gone and therefore how many laps I had done!

Initial thoughts was that it was ok. Don't think I lost too much time and remembered to have a drink before starting the run.

Run was 2 laps following the bike course and 1 1/2 laps of the stadium. What can I say, it was 5k and as usual it's not my better discipline.

It was absolutely pissing down and the bike segment was really treacherous.

Weather killed the timing chips and manual backup only provided completion times. Lookig at the website I was lucky to get a swim time.
