Tried and Succeeded!

Today I managed to complete the Dornet Lakes, Eton, Super-Sprint Triathlon alone!

I was the race slowest on the swim 28.54 but the lake was too cold for my face, so I completed most of the swim on my back with my head held out of the water.

There was quite a strong headwind for half the cycle course, that’s my excuse, the 6 miles-ish bike ride was alright however on the course I was down to 8mph in places, I did it in 33.17.

I walked most of the 1.5 mile run course however I ran in intervals every 50 metres or so, completed in 56.19.

I am super pleased that I did all of it on my own and crossed the finish line in 2 hours 17 minutes 28 seconds! I may have been the slowest competitor but I have taught myself to swim, cycle again, and run, due to being so DETERMINED
