First go at a sprint tri earlier (and 2nd ever tri).
Went out so hard on the swim I thought I was going to have to stop after 500m and gather myself but slogged my way to the finish, 9th out of the water. Reasonable t1, faffed a bit with cycling shoes, must pick up some proper tri shoes. Had a decent bike leg, passed a few, got passed by a few, set the 11th fastest bike leg of the day, on my steel road bike, negotiations ongoing to justify purchase of tt bike. Reasonable t2. Run slightly improved on the last tri I done but was still a slog and I lost a few places.
Finished 14th overall, fairly content with that, but that’s it for my tri season now. Bring on next year!
