Its all about time
Sloppi bob entered me into the universities triathlon which just so happens to take place on my birthday. I've been training at a steady pace but I'm really not good against the pressure of the clock. I should also note, that since we've lied about my details (I'm not affiliated with the uni in any way lol) then I shouldnt be in the race at all. The next oldest person is 24 and most of them are under 20. Doesnt look good does it! But I'm not the oldest entry either.
Anyway the mile swim I can do with my eyes closed under 20 mins. 18 if I'm going good and the swim is really going to set my pace, its by far my strongest event. 24miles on the bike is killing me but I know how to train on a bike (uphill) so I'll worry about that this week. That leaves the 6 mile run. I can do it in about 50 mins but I expect that to nearly double after a 24m bike race. Only problem is, not once have I done all three events consecutively (?). And the swim is down the bay and although its allegedly fresh water, it aint no pool. I'll be gutted if I come in last.
Oh yeah...sorry Rachael (it only took me 7 months)...
