Quick race update

A very quick update on yesterday’s middle distance race (I’ll post up a race report in due course):

Swim: terrible sea conditions! They almost cancelled the race. They ended up shortening the swim section instead. Very pleased to get out of the water in one piece.

Bike: Windy and hilly. I pushed it too hard trying to stay with another competitor (a girl! She won the women’s race).

Run: OK run, suffered a bit in the final few miles due to the hard bike.

Overall: 4:26. 23rd overall and 2nd in my AG.

Tough day at the office, but pleased with the final result. Full race report to follow!
