Thorpe Triathlon Series

[Jonathan]

I have entered the first race in the series on 17th May, anyone else racing that day?

Was surprisingly warm for the time of year. Was my second ever tri and first sprint distance. Started the swim gently to make sure I would actually complete it, came out the water in the middle of my wave with at time of 13:58 for 800m. Onto the bike I set out with a high pace, quickly passing almost everyone on the bike leg, came into T2 in 4th position, got overtaken by a bloke in a GBR jersey (age-grouper) and hung onto his heels for the final 2.5k where he beat my by 3 seconds.

Overall came 5th with a time of 1:06:58, pritty happy with that result

Excellent result. Just don't go turning up to the club run in a sleeveless top with arm warmers.

Entered race two of the series, managed to shave nearly two minutes off my time but still came in 5th (better competition this time round).
