First/last triathlon of the year went well on Balance.
Ran into difficulties in the sea again. Was holding a good pace With the front pack when I suddenly realised my every-third-stroke breathing wasnt enough. Tried change Things and not panick. But my pace literally halved for the last few hundred meters.
Got out of the water right near the back. But dispite feeling mad Dizzy on the bike I just kept throwing my legs around. On the final lap I was passing People pretty quickly. On the run I'd recovered totally and was continuing to pass People. Managed to move up to 14th (only 50 started as it was the town first tri). If I'd held my usual 1km swim pace I would have been well into the top 10. But meh.
As it was the towns frst tri the local media was full of action pics. Well all action, except one of some idiot trying to work out where to put his bike.......
