Yesterday the weather was absolutely brilliant over at The Mount, except from the wind which apart from frustrating the athletes lured you into thinking it wasn’t as hot as it was—needless to say I’m somewhat sunburnt today! The race started at 6.30am, so we didn’t get over there in time to see the swim portion, which was a bit disappointing as I was keen to see both transitions. My race is a sprint length one, so transitions are quite important to your time. However, I did learn a few tricks for the bike and run parts, so overall it was a great day.
Btw, for those that don’t know a half-ironman is: 2km swim, 90km bike and 21km run… and no I won’t be doing one of this length just yet! lol.
