First tri of the season

East Grinstead tri.
500m pool swim which went OK. I wasn't really expecting much from the swim but it went OK- nothing special.
18Km bike (5th fastest) felt OK got a bit blocked by cars going into Forest Row so forced to overtake. 50k+ down the middle of the A22 passing cars isn't the safest way to spend Sunday morning but it probably didn't cost me that much time.
5km run (but I think it was short) 2nd place so no complaints.
5th overall and 1st vet, so I managed the podium at least.

Bike racing has started

Started off last week with Surrey League Handicap RR. Quite pleased to have finished in the mix for the sprint. Just a shame we never caught 4 riders from an early group. Nevertheless, a good evenings training.

Finished off with the Norwood Paragon 25. A chilly morning seemed to slow things down a bit. Caught quite a few riders but only managed a long 58. New skinsuit looked good though!
