Aberystwyth Triathlon

Cobwebs off the wetsuit and dragged the tri suit out of the cuboard it was time to hit the pain barrier and take to the open water. A few days on the sofa with a cold it was always going to be a test but the kill or cure approach was always on. Tri consisted of 750m swim - 18mile bike to trerddol and back then a run up to Aber golf club before a blast down to the prom. The first event held in Aber so an appearance was a must. Came out of the water in a decent position within the top 6-7 and really enjoyed it, a poor bike leg wasnt helped with brakes sticking, gears flicking, and having put new bearings in the night before, it didnt feel gd,  Cruised up Penglais hill and was really struggling. Having reached Talybont with out any of the front group coming to meet me my hopes grew and I decided to make a push for it. Only making up a couple of places on the bike it wasnt gd and once a runner sprinted away from me from transition I was alone in 5th to cruise home. Great event which will be a must on the calender next year.
