Triathlon (Off-road) 2:04:00 [3]
Tinnaroo Terra Triathlon. This was a great event! It started off with either a paddle or swim in the lake, then about a 18km mountain bike, a 7km trail run and then a short ride back to the finish. I swam and managed not to die (swimming's not really my thing), then set off on the mountain bike. It took me a bit of time to remember how to ride again having not ridden since sometime early last year, but I started to get into a rhythm after a while. Lots of big hills on the gravel road which meant tricky descents which I took quite cautiously to begin with. However there was enough uphill that I was able to overtake most of the girls who were ahead. The trail run was great fun - most of it was on a walking trail that existed at some point in the past, but not really now, so it was a matter of running from tape to tape. After that it was just a short ride to the finish. The gift voucher I won for the bike shop down the road is great but would have been really handy a few days ago before I got my bike serviced there!! It was a really good weekend - quality events, great turnout and a really friendly atmosphere.
