Triathlon - Sunday, January 13

This triathlon was the same distance as the past two, however the first two were run under perfect conditions. On Sunday it rained as we waited to start, thyankfully it stopped and the wind dried out the roads before the bike ride. The lake was really choppy, so it was interesting swimming up waves and down the otrher side! Riding into the wind was pretty interesting too. The run was the least effected but even then you still have extra resistance going into the wind. I completed this one in 1 hour 12, about 30 seconds faster than Graham who is quickly improving. Everyone recorded a slower time than the previous triathlons.
