On Saturday I competed the Newcastle Triathlon (in Northumberland...dont ask). I am delighted with how it went. In fact, with just over a year to go until #7days7irons it was as close to perfect as I can expect at this stage. So, I feel like I am on the right track. A couple of minor concerns would be that I need to do more training on the bike. I performed well on 2 wheels (43km) but my legs were spent by the time I got off for the run (9.5km). This was frustrating because I have spent more time running than anything else in training. I still have this pull on my upper leg which was very noticeable on the bike and parts if the run. It didnt affect me too much but I need to get it looked at as it could get worse if Im not careful. I loved the swim start. Just under a mile (1500m) in around 28 minutes and I did it at what felt like a relaxed pace as I didnt want to burn out before the rest of the event. An absolutely brilliant morning, great venue at Woodhorn Colliery and Country Park and superbly organised. There was loads of prize giving an spot prizes too! A must do for next year although I hope it might actually be in Newcastle at some point.
