The Cheshire Triathlon 2009

Another sprint, this time to get one in the bag for the Chester Tri summer league, its one of the downsides of being a long distance athlete that in our summer league you need 3 events to count as an average percentage for the year, each 1/2 IM counts as only one (your best) and the IM is the same. But thrown in the pot is a number of sprints and Olympics, so pick one and theres the 3.

Another well run event, this time the swim another 500m effort was outside in a brine pool, not too bad, 16 lengths of the 33m pool. The bike course is well known to me and fairly mundane with a good blast on the home stretch, the run again was off road.
Great support by the pirates (after I had finished) they were all in bed lol, I had an early start ! Pleased with result as wanted Top 10.

Nice picture of me here but once again copyrighted so I won't infringe.

Event is well supported and one of the biggest in the area, Vic Bickertons lot do run races well and have done for a few years now, if you can get your head round the brine pool its a good beginner event as well as a good blast for the faster guys.
