Burnham Tri 2010 - mellow, good, fivefingers
Finally broke my race duck for 2010 with Burnham tri, which is a 500m pool swim, 20km flat square bike, 5km beach and trail run. While the Speedy Boys were towel-flicking each other for supremacy, I'd decided to take this one mellow. KISS is the mantra of the day.
( Cut for detailses, my precious )
Last year in good shape and hot weather, with some drama; 1:26:00. This year in bad shape and cool windy weather, with no drama: 1:26:11. I think the lesson here is: get in shape and then KISS.
A big thank-you to the marshalls and organisers - exactly the right number of bods on the road and I love the new transition (a bit crowded, but otherwise awesome).
Oh! And as I was packing up, another competitor approached me. Turns out she and I both did our first triathlon at Wellington Novice in 2006, and we both got hooked the same way. Small world.
