My first triathlon of the year. Chickened out from previous week’s one in Haywards Heath due to really bad weather. Tonbridge was fine and still. Ideal conditions. I entered the Standard/Classic distance but it only had an 800m swim. Bike was 50k though as opposed to normal 40k and it was hilly! However, I got round and stayed injury free. My run was a PB in just under 50 mins. Helped no doubt by the very flat sports field we ran in . Overall my time was 3:13:59. 49th overall out of 61 finishers and I was 6th in the Over 50’s age group. Just some stiffness and a bit tired the next day but otherwise OK. Next up the British Age Group Sprint Championships at Milton Keynes on 27th May. I hope the lakes warm up a bit , they are several degrees colder than normal at the moment.
