West Lancs Sprint Triathlon was great fun and the perfect introduction to triathlons. I’d recommend it to anyone who fancies having a go. Luckily, I was sat next to a veteran Iron Man athlete on the poolside pre-race, who talked me through his strategy, which calmed my nerves and set me up for a successful day.
My swim was composed, my cycle felt good… then the run was absolute murder! I completed it in 1h 5m 02s, placing 42nd out of 481 finishers, which I’ll take for my first go-out! I’m looking forward to the next one…
