Friday - 11.66 mile Turbo session
Saturday - Took Arleya to park run who managed a new PB - 34 mins. Missed it myself due to the Dualathon. However, went out for a bike ride when i got home to familiarise myself with Sundays cycle route. What a mare, blowing a gail, wet & cold. ut did 16+ miles.
On the plus side I had my overshoe covers which were absolutely fantastic. Heres the route:

Sunday 22nd Jan, my first ever multi discipline event.
Went with the long socks, Tri suit, Thermal top & wind jacket, was just about right. Big learn though. Dont do tri-suit up till last minute in case needing the toilet.
First run - 2.2 miles went ok for me as i know i'm shite at it, but felt bloody knackered & was glad to get to the bike.
Bike also went well, feel really comfortable on it, skinned a few people on the way round making up for my poor run, pretty sure my bike time was under 40 minutes but the T1 & T2 times had been added t the total for this stage.
Lost a good few minutes in transition as i didnt really know what i was doing. Got a few tips today from the vetterans, like getting elasticated laces & dont sit down to change, lol.
I was slow compared to the rest of the club but didnt expect anything else. Just managed to beat my estimated time of 90 minutes.
Heres the link and my times

A great start to the series of 3 events with 29 people keen to get going. Some back from last or previous years and some new to the club, so welcome to them!
A windy day and the first run brought on a bit of drizzle, but this was blown away by the end of the run for some bright sunshine giving some nice pictures taken by Andrew Baxter's daughter:
The runs were inevitably owned by Sean Watson either side of the bike, but the day was taken by Tony Robinson who just won't give up that bike leg even if he did declare it isn't his favourite ride.
Time keeping was by Mark Philo and Paul Scibilia.
