World Triathlon 2015
11:45
With
a tiring, wet start...
Hitting
Hyde Park at 6am. (Yes I am mad)
The
rain finally stopped,
More
volunteers began to arrive.
Chatting
to some lovely ladies,
Hearing
their stories of experiences from other events.
It
took your mind of the grey clouds...
Having
a brief;
Taken
to the point for the day.
The
transition point! Aces!
Swim-in,
Run-out
Add
in lots of normal pedestrians,
and
them asking twenty questions.
Certainly
should become an interesting job!
Watching
the participates pushing their bodies,
Amazed
by the strength as they just keep going.
Thanks to Lottery Good Causes I managed to win tickets
To
watch the elites from the grandstands.
The
rain held off, and we experienced the masters at their best.
Well
kind of …
Poor
Johnny Brownlee suffered a fall back, after having a puncture with
his bike.
However
the other favourite Alistair Brownlee dominated and won the race with
ease.
In
the female elites, there was a surprise from Sophie Caldwell -
who kept
up with the more experienced.
But
the race saw a brilliant win from Gwen Jorgensen.
