2023 Subscriptions Ramsay Posted May 12, 2013 2023 Subscriptions Report Share Posted May 12, 2013 Currently en route to Bute with Elaine for her first tri of the year. Judging by the conditions, the swim may be the driest part of the day!! :-) Report to follow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2023 Subscriptions Elaine Muirhead Posted May 12, 2013 2023 Subscriptions Report Share Posted May 12, 2013 That's it. My tri season has begun. Summarised in 2 words........wet and windy!!! Fair to say i was a little nervous this morning as it has been over a year since i have raced. Spray tan mid week would have been good to take the glare off my legs! A warm pool swim was followed by a hilly bike ride straight in to the wind. Defo need to get used to the new TT bike in windy conditions. The dead turn at the end took my about 2 minutes to negotiate and there were a few swear words on route when the wind caught me. Yes Alan, you would have been very unimpressed with my lack of skills (didn't end up in the ditch though). A 3 lap run route through mud and puddles, up steps and over a bridge made it a wee bit different from other events. Overall time somewhere close to my PB which I am happy with. No idea where I ended up as the chip timing went array and seemed to have missed out some of the run legs. I could have been 1st lady if I hadn't fessed up to not really doing a 15 min 5K (that's like Mo pace for those of you who don't get it). That is Mo Farrah for those who don't know who I'm talking about........wee skinny guy, great british hero and double Olympian!!!!! Great to be back and looking forward to the next.

2023 Subscriptions P McDonald Posted May 12, 2013 2023 Subscriptions Report Share Posted May 12, 2013 Chapeau indeed. Especially for exiting a warm pool and going out into weather that you wouldn't send a dog out into. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Committee Alan McLean Posted May 12, 2013 Committee Report Share Posted May 12, 2013 Excellent report. Sounds like you got wetter out of the pool. Sorry you missed 1st place. I'd have taken the money and run. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
