Musta pushed the swim too much and then ran to fast into T1. Coulda been the Free beer with dinner. Cycle: 51Km with one good climb after 5Km. I would practice doing a bit a climbing before going over for sure. A few people walking at the end and a good few others that were cycling slower than walking, kinda like those slowest cyclist races we useta do as kids. Really enjoyed the cycle. Amazing setting. The wind picked up for last 20K but very well marshalled and spectacular views for all the cycle.
Not really a technical technical course. Most turns are Left hand turns. Some at speed downhill. Very well marshalled. It is not a closed road cycle so you are always sharing the road with traffic throughout the whole triathlon after the Llanberis Pass the traffic quietens down to very little traffic at all. This is not an issue though as there are not to many technical parts to the course. It is worth driving the first 15Km as there are some high speed turns.
Lad collided with a Motorbike seconds before I arrived at scene. He took a downhill corner to fast and ended up on wrong side of the road and smashed into a motorbike. Bits of both bikes all over the road and cyclist not moving. I cycled on and got marshal at bottom of the decent to move m and stop cars going up and then headed back onto course. The scenery is very amazing with Glacial valleys all around the whole cycle.

It takes about 4 Km into the run to get toe sensation and foot sensation back.

So now a 11Km run. They mentioned a quarry and then a trail. That sounded nice and interesting. The hard Hill climb on cycle was over. Let the run begin. Llanbrisas has a huge slate quarry sculpted out of the side of the Mountain overlooking the lake. Running up a large mountain that has been sculpted into Zig Zag roads is near impossible. I ran up the first road took the hairpin bend and then realised that I could walk faster.
So did everyone else. The whole field in my sight was only walking. To compete effectively in this race you need to train for Fell running.
The downhill is worse as there are multiple and consistent ankle twisting opportunities at every step of the way. Mentally exhausting. I had read about running downhill that you should have your arms out like your doing the Duck Flap. Classic Bike. Dog s. Police Service. Cabin Crew. Virgin Trains. Cancer Care.

Border Collie Sheepdog - Cass to I acquired Cass in May at the age of four just two weeks after the unexpected death of my previous dog Moss.
