What a day, I don't usually post race results here but this was a big race
and I had a stonker!
First up my planned easy relaxing day on Saturday didn't quite work out as
I ended up being taken to Northampton General A&E and spent all afternoon
there being poked and prodded, having blood tests, urine sample, ECG's,
cannula's inserted and even a doctors finger in a place you don't want to
know about.
I then ended up having to rush around all over the place and ate and got to
bed later than I'd hoped. But I seemed to recover from my ordeal pretty
well and put in an epic performance on Sunday in what was my first ever
'big' event - I certainly seemed to rise to the occasion and knocked 90
seconds off what I thought would be my absolute best possible time,
finishing in 1:03:27.
750m Open Water Swim: 10:49
20km Undulating Bike: 32:19
5.5km flat run: 18:53
That put me in 6th place in the British Age Group Sprint Championships
(40-44) and has hopefully qualified me for the ITU Age-Group World
Championships in Auckland later this year - Although I'm trying not to get
too excited about that until the qualification places are ratified by the
BTF.
