Triathlon at ludlow,

twas a sprint tri with 400m swim, 16.5 mile bike and 4 mile run..

My first triathlon with bugger all training due to a torn calf muscle..

i was in the 10min swim group which i started at 10.15, did the swim, 16 lenghts and then went for the bike, with wet feet a struggled to put my bike shoes on, but once i had and ran out of transition i looked at the time and it said 10.22, whcih i thought can't be right..7 mins for swim....

bike was an undulating course with not many hills, i went off at my own pace and some people came flying past...three miles later i flew past them..a bit tortoise and hare..

good bike then into transition again for the run, racked the bike put running shoe's on and Bollocks within 100m my calf went again, determined to finsih i struggled on and walked jog/ran the 4 miles.

i wanted to finish before 12 midaday but it was about 12.08..whcih i was a bit annoyed at..

times haven't been published yetbut i think the run took a painfully slow 40mins...DOH...

after the finsih i had a massage from onsite specialist whcih bloody killed me..

i'm typing this with leg raised packed by ice and can hardly walk..

Fantastic morning despite the injury and yes i will do one again..oh yea the wife thinks she beat her previous time, but again waiting to be confirmed by the email with times etc
