Thanks tommy. My son did his triathlon at Dorney today - yes it is very flat and will be a bit boring for me next week, but I am doing this one as I didn't get into the Windsor triathlon.
The children's triathlon was very competitive today, and it was the parents who were the most competitive. We sam ome dads shouting at their sons / daughters, making their 8 year olds cry - this seemed so wrong to me, and was not a good introduction to the sport from them. My son came 6th in the 13 / 14 year old 'fun' category. There were about 60 in his race, he was about 40th after the swim, but 10th after the cycle and passed a few more people to come in 6th. the boy that came first was fantastic, he put a good few minutes distance between him and the others.
