Since my last blog I have competed in two triathlons, one
being The Rother Valley Triathlon a European Qualifier, this was a sprint
distance, double my normal distance. I
arrived in Yorkshire on the Saturday, after driving around the cycle course I realized that Yorkshire has a lot more hills than Essex! I was in a wave of 84 15-29 year old I had a
good swim exiting the water with more energy than at my previous events this
year. After the first 5k on the bike I
settled down into a good pace and attacked the ride. I came of the bike ready for the run. I think I enjoyed this triathlon more than
any other, it was good to be racing with my HPU team mates, Molly, James, Adam
and Conner
Still on a high from Rother Valley I raced in the Virgin
London Tri, probably a ‘Tri 2 Far’ I was boxed in on the swim, I never really got going! I was disappointed with my performance. On the plus side I have been selected along
with Molly , James, Adam and Conner ,to represent GB in the European Age-Group Event to be held
in Turkey next June.
Well that is the end of my season, I view it with very mixed
feelings I had one good race, I was
pleased with GCSE results , selected for GB age group. Learnt a lot from my other races through
discussions with Dave Parry and Andy Jobson, thanks very much HPU for your
support and advice............2013 another year another.
