Liverpool Olympic Triathlon 2:32:26 [Results]
Swim - 26:33 (87th)
T1 - 1:35 (57th)
Bike - 1:15:43 (104th)
T2 - 1:40 (207th)
Run - 46:56 (131st)
Total: 95th out of 330
M40-44: 14th out of 56
Wind, wind, wind. Swim was very good - about 200 men in my wave and all relatively civilized. Swimming in Liverpool is a bit weird and very salty, but ok. Bike was very hard (due to wind and the fact that we had to run for about 2 minutes in cycle shoes before being allowed to mount), but average pace was aroung 32km/h. Run was tough, but good, apart from being hit by a tomatoe some tosser through at runners...

Wow. First swim in new wetsuit (Quintana Roo Superfull) in 50m outdoor pool. Suit much lighter, arms move freely and the buoyancy seems much better. Very please indeed.

Open-water swim in the sea. Loads of jelly fish and a cramp after 20 minutes - apart from that, very enjoyable...
