Before i start i would like to apologise for my Mum's poor photography skill when I'm on the bike, she tries every time to catch it at a good time but never seems to work. But one day, i promise ;)
Anyway......Ouch! Hard but enjoyable race today in South Wales. Woke up this morning feeling fresh and ready to go, did my usual routine! Got to the race, got into transition, racked bike...all set! I wasn't to nervous going into this race because i knew it was just a good practise for IRC's in September. Got wetsuit on and set off into the lake, brrrrrrr it wasn't too warm in there at all. We must have been in the water at least 12 minutes before setting off and i was getting colder and colder so had to keep myself moving. And off we went, quite a rough start in the swim, i got hit in the nose and lip twice but then got a bit of free water and got going, i was one of the first females to exit the swim, so i was pleased.
T1 went well, got wetsuit off quick and this is where the really hard work started, a hilly bike and my legs feeling numb and very tired (not a good combination) but i tried my very hardest to keep with the girl but it wasn't the best course to draft and my legs just weren't working with me today.
Coming into T2 was OK, but my feet hit the ground quite hard so quite sore going into the run but i really enjoyed the run today :). It's quite a flat course until the turn around where you go down then straight back up, but it was bearable!! Throughout i felt quite strong and was pleased with it :D
Overall pleased with today and ready for September and very much looking forward to it!! :)
