So with various little body niggles, weather conditions and indecison over tyres, I was not even sure that idIbe attending this event! BUT it was SO good! I've attached a screenshot of my times etc from Facebook .
It was so rainy in the morning I just wasn't even sure if I wanted to go. But I packed everything and made my way over. It's 45 minutes away so I stopped halfway at the services as the rain really set in and I was like WTF IS WRONG WITH ME.
But I persevered. The guy that organises the events is always so supportive of me. I was the only one registered for the GoTri distance so I felt relaxed and under no pressure and we just decided my distances before I set off.
The rain went to a fine drizzle which wasn't too bad in the end. I was worrying about the cycling stage because of the wet track. No slipping but I would have gone faster in the dry.
Overall a brilliant benchmark session with my little body niggles not coming in till the end!!
One thing I love is how supportive and encouraging most of the competitors were. I obviously look like such a newbie but they were encouraging all the way round!
