did do the bournemouth international tri standard distance this weekend. I know I was warned on here about the bike ride (along a two lane A road open to cars) but couldnt find an alternative race.
Went alright I think! Swim conditions were perfect, water calm and clear. After that things stayed wet in constant rain. The bare foot run up the hill to the transition zone was interesting, and so was sharing a motorway with cars going 70 mph but then again I knew what I was getting myself into! My bike and cycling legs are far from competitive but that too was no surprise.
Happy that I made it through my first standard distance! But gotta say these people are a pretty unsmiling bunch... Maybe it was the rain and general grayscale of the scene?
