First tri of the year on Saturday, and first time age grouping - Madrid ETU Standard Champs.
I’ve swim twice this year so wasn’t devastated when they cancelled the swim due to poor water quality and made it a duathlon.
Warm day and a bit stuffy, didn’t ever quite feel like I was on top of my pace, but stayed conservative too.
Runs were a bit long (about 17k in total instead of 15), slightly rolling and a mix of path and trail, bike a bit short (38k) and a mix of crap surface and fast A road.
Went alright, could have put in a bit more effort on the bike at 1hr 5mins, but held almost identical pace across the two runs at slightly quicker than 4min/k and came in 11th in AG, which I’ll take for the first time as a full GB kit wanker.
Signed up for middle distance champs in Belgium in August. Should probably swim between now and then.
