Warwick Sprint Triathlon

Completed my first triathlon in 1hr 5 minutes and a few seconds! Just happy to finish, even happier to finish 11th and beat other friends entered!

The swim went well, although I had to breast stroke it as my freestyle leaves me drowning. I nailed the bike ride, really putting effort in to get a good time on a route that I likes. I let up a little too soon on a couple of the hills but finished strongly as Mark was cheering me on at the end. Got into second transition and cramped up putting my trainer on. Lost a couple of minutes and just as a marshal was coming over I managed to get up and hobble out. The resulting first lap was slow and painful with the second slightly better. I know I can run much better but was happy to finish!
