Best Novice

So to add to my list of things I haven't blogged about I thought I'd enter the May Bank Holiday Thames Turbo Sprint Triathlon to have at least one experience of a triathlon under my belt prior to Windsor.
This is a pool triathlon, aimed at beginners - hence the prize on offer for the best novice (male and female competing in their first triathlon). Distances: 426M pool swim, 20K bike and 5K run. Thoroughly enjoyed the whole thing. Pool took it out of me more than I expected, bike was good and run was fab (can tell which of the disciplines I like the most right!).

Swim (white hat) - 9:13:

 Bike - 43:02 :

 Run - 21:18:

...and I won best novice!!

Total time (inc. transitions) :1:16:13
Not bad for a first timer :-)

Part of my prize was £50 voucher from Sigma Sports. Yet to spend it but might invest in some aero-bars. Might make that bike a bit quicker.
