Crawley Late Summer Tri 26/9/10

Last event of the season and finished with a win!
Not over confident at the start given that I had spent the previous day lounging about with a hangover.
Bit nervous at the start of the 750m pool swim as I had put a predicted time down of 12 minutes thinking that it would force me to train to that standard. The serious training never really materialised so I knew I wouldn't do it. Gave it my best shot and was pleased to hold my position and not get caught by the person behind.
Transition was a long run away and I raced for the first time ever with a jacket on as the air temp was 8c when we arrived. Not super aero on the bike, but I passed quite a few people anyway. I certainly wasn't hot so it was probably the right decision to wear it.
Really unique XC run through woods that was very undulating, but probably suited me. Just tried to keep pushing all the way as it was only 6km.
Finishing time of 1.10 was good for the win by 3 minutes.
Jennie also had a good event improving on her previous time and beating quite a few people. She even overtook someone in the swim with her fast improving freestyle.
A perfect end to the season at a venue that is superb for sprint distance triathlon. Nice friendly club event.
