2025 Races

I did 5 on Monday morning ( fresh) and said
“ fuck that “
Same as wall balls .. I’m crap !
One young lad got to them in exactly the same time as me 21:50.
He put nearly 2 mins into me in 20 exercises !

Most went unbroken ( as it’s these and finish)
I was just “ broken “ lol

Nipped down to Weymouth last night for a cheeky swim run aquathlon 1km / 5km. Sort of swim run kit test for the race at the weekend.

Was ok, got around in 36 minutes which I was pleased with. Run felt good.

The guy who won was streets ahead of everyone else: 12 minutes for the swim including transition and then 15 minutes flat for the run, which is admittedly a little short at 4.6km but involves hailing yourself over a big hill twice. 27 minutes, course record, first time I remember seeing anyone under 30 mins. Second place was 5 minutes back in 32 mins.

Crazy how good some people are.

Dad did it too, 54 minutes, he always walks the hill but ended up in a sprint finish for last place which he lost (ie he didn’t come last) & the 2 of them got a round of applause for that which was nice.

The winner had actually finished the whole race before the last swimmer was out of the water.

That will be me the weekend… I’ll be hunting for something for dinner in the lake.

Sounds like a great event.

Tomorrow is a 5.5 hour drive for a sprint race on Saturday lasting just over an hour. Best time to take a day off drive down the M6 in a heatwave.

I am sat in the shading thinking what the hell am I doing as my race is scheduled for 1:45 today and it is predicted to be 33°. I don’t even get to have a splash in the river either.

Where is it?
And what is it?

I’m just sat in my garage cooling down after an off road jog. Debating doing the garden. Or just collapsing in it, instead :joy:

Hot ?!?

Yeah it’s toasty.

Temps are getting close - I’d love a non wetsuit race :crossed_fingers:t2:(not that I’ve got a swimskin with me).

It’s a beast of a run from swim exit to T1 too

Non wetsuit ?!!??
You’re a fish though !
Be tracking

Don’t do what I did last year… run shoes in the white bag swim exit! When I got out the swim I changed my mind and carried them to T1 :flushed_face:

Got a few comments “why are you carrying your shoes” but ran past a lot of people bare foot… it was okay.m with my hobbit feet.

Good look luck its a nice course imo. Wish I was there (if I had any fitness)
