Liverpool Tri

Last Sunday was Liverpool triathlon, up early ready for the race. I was the day of the England game, so it was an incentive to race fast to get home!! After registering i went to the portable toilets and out came Malachy from Hollyoaks! :) I then put my bike in transition, i found out i had to put my bike on a different rack because mine was full when i got there, i then ended up being on the other side of transition. After I'd sorted my transition out i went to watch the waves before me and did some warming up :) It was then time to put my wetsuit on and get ready for the start of the race, now starting to get bit nervous :S i got to the start line in the water and went to my usual position, on the end by the buoys. I was quite disappointed with my swim, not the position i wanted to be in. This race had the longer transition i have ever done :O i felt i had already done my run before the bike. After the long run to my bike, i got there and one of the straps had come undone so NOT a fastT1.Another long run to the mount line and finally i could get on the bike, i felt i was having a good ride until i finished the race, but ill tell you about that after. Then i was coming into T2, which wasn't to bad, much better than T1. Then finally out on the run, VERY hot and i tried to get as much water at the water stations as possible without slowing down, so i just through it over me to cool me down, which was nice :D Then i was coming into the finish line, had a sprint finish and took a few people. Overall, i really enjoyed the race but i didn't have the best race, times weren't what i wanted, but looking forward to Eaton triathlon on the 10th, where hopefully i have a much better race.

I was meant to be racing this weekend but have a problem with my shoulder so going to give it a rest and hopefully its better next week :) Ohh and sorry about the photo's everyone, next time i promise to get some on my bike, The mother fault :P
