Crumpet This was the first time I had entered this race. The weather was terrible which didn't help. I was pleased to finish as I got lost on the bike course however I think this was my worst race. Not sure I would do it again. Unaffiliated 2:57:11 53.30
TW 5km run, 20k bike, 5k run...all off road....horrendous weather..heavy rain, so ground ver slippy through the wooded run section, then bike was really tough..off road was just muddy...all great fun, and quite pleased with the time. Unaffiliated 1:59:18 2:06:31 68.01
Yellow Fang This is a three leg MTB duathlon around Goring, near Reading. I wasn't sure I was even going to make it because I got up late. I forgot to take the rack off my bike. It felt easier than usual, maybe because it's often quite hot. I ran up all the hills, which were very steep. I was a bit frustrated on the cycle ride because I was held up by the congestion on the Thames Path. This is a problem caused by the number of relay teams and the narrowness of that section of the route. I made up a lot of places on the bike leg. It's not particularly technical though. I made up two places on the last leg but was overtaken once. I was pleased not to walk any of it, or to get involved in any sprints for the finish. The chap ahead of me said we came in the top ten, which would be a best for me. The time seemed to be slightly down on last year, but so were a lot of people's because of the muddy conditions. I technically became a Hairy Legs legend after completing five of them. I stayed around and chatted to my TVT clubmates. Sharkey came 2nd this year. It tipped down so I was pleased to be offered a lift back by Richard. Reading Roadrunners 1:47:54 80.22
