After the disappointment of having to miss the Sevenoaks Tri the week before it was great to be fit and well enough to do the Tonbridge Standard for the second year. I was first competitor to arrive at the venue (probably should have had another half hour in bed!) and was one of the first off in the pool at 7.00am. Good swim time improved on last year (15:55). Onto the road in perfect conditions, no wind but initially chilly so wore a top which I discarded for the second lap. Managed the hills OK and finished in 1:55:53, again faster than last year. A couple of quick transitions 1:48 and 1:18 but my run was slower than last year but steady in 52:02. Overall my time was 3:06:55 some 7 mins faster than last year. New bike was great and certainly helped, whether the pointed helmet did I am not sure. Wore my GBR kit and did a full dress rehearsal for the Euros in June.
Next up the Deva in Chester-World qualifier. Stay safe and fit!!
