His 1st ever tri. The distances are shorter, may suit you Gary. I'm hoping for top 3 looking at the times from last year.

GaryBush Full Member Posts: 223	Re: Other Events Reply #292 - Jul 30^th, 2010, 2:27pm But NW is a sprint ? What I need is 2.5 K swim then a 160 K ride then 100m sprint ! then I would be happy ! Are you going to Barton Sprint or Standard or still thinking about it ? Unless I can get 5K down below 20 mins then I am going to struggle to do 10K in under 45 mins ! So will have to stick to sprint.

Did the Blithfield Tri Sprint knock 5mins of 5K run but still need to get another 6mins off, well the Standard Tri went on the same time and as it was a european qualifier I was over taken on the bike by 6 or so riders some GBR team memebers, luckly each time it was on the straight so they didn't go past to fast ! I wonder if a TT or Tri bike mite improve me cycle section ? as I end up siting up still quite high ? Any one selling a TT bike ? Wink

Not sure where we will be on Sunday but good luck

Getting to bed at 3.30 am to be up at 5.30am was not the best start, so you could say I was half a sleep till get on my bike. The swim felt slow and there seemed to be more in front than behind but I got out in 14.56 so a little faster than last Barton event (couple seconds), ride was ok even thou I got a thorn/twig in front tire - who gets hedges at 8am on a sunday ?

So got the thorn either around 5K or 15K, it most have slowed me down a little ??? got bike done in 37 mins and run well yes better than last Barton but still a good 10 mins off what I have done before. Any way reduced trans by 2mins and was able to reduce overall TRI by 9mins so I am in the 1:20's now ! May be mite be able to give you a run at Etwall ? See if my running trainer can me running a 10K in an ok time to reduce 5K time ???? Wink

Just need to loose 5 mins on the bike - who knows
