The Mini Triathalete

In an hour I will be in the midst of a crowd of women swimming round the harbour, before leaping on our bicycles, then staggering (f going at all) through a 2.5 km run, before dropping at the finish line. Well thats my story anyway. Have you ever tried one of these things? Man oh man, I thought I was reasonably fit, able to run 6ks easy, and pretty confident in my ability to bike 10 ks, but doing this all in a row?

Well, I thought it sounded simple too, so I left it till 2 days ago to give the whole thing a trial run. I had so much salt in my eyes from the sea, I could hardly see, and my arms became dead weights for the remainder of the event, and the run was a dead loss really.

But I have paid $20 and have a sneaky suspicion there are some kind of present for entering, so I shall slog it out again. Good reminder that you are never as fit as you think you are, well I'm not anyway.

 Wish me luck!
