Bunclody triathlon, Wexford

August 2nd, 2010 | Uncategorized | No Comments »

So August started itself off with a race on day . Down to Bunclody Co. Wexford I went and down in Bunclody, Co.Wexford I won.

I was a 5ft 10 inch bag of nerves about the cycle leg – ‘ I dont want to fall again, I dont want to fall’ – I didnt but I didnt take any risks either. Anyone giving mounting and dismounting training…sign me up!!! ( on grass only!!)

I posted the fastest swim of the day, followed by a joined fastest T1!! Wuhoo!!However, my swim was diabolical, less than impressive… Sh1t,crap…eh…ya- just bad really!!Although, my Mammy said that was the chest infection playing its part! MAMMY SAID!!

HILLS HILLS HILLS! – my good god was there loads of them!!! As much as I didnt like them I kind of loved them at the same time!!

Ouch – that hill hurt….time to recover after it maybe…Nope – not a chance!! You recover when the race is over apparently!!

On to the run…HILLS!! Even though there were hills, I was happy to post a good run split – good for me!My run is still not where it needs to be but it’s getting there!

Happy overall I guess, although my chest infection wasnt quite feeling the same way!I think I angered it!! I sounded like a wheezing donkey on the deck before the swim!!Not to worry though, no better way to rid an illness than to sweat it out…right?!!

Here’s to a good solid block of training -got the new programme…Let’s give it shoes and socks!!!

And again, it goes without saying…but a big thanks to Stephan … without the programme and advise and all the little things he does to help… sure I’d be nowhere…lost!! Thanks Stephan.
