19th September - Essendex Last Minute Sprint Tri

400m swim/19.3k bike/5k run

First tri in a year, first race in 9 months - no real expectations but just wnated to finish without too much pain from hip

01:06:14 total, splits as follows

Swim: 7:24
T1:1:10
Bike: 34:10
T2: 00:52
Run: 22:36

Swim was ok despite 5 people being in lane who had overestimated how quick they were, could of perhaps gone harder but did not want to irritate hip too early (did not do tumble turns either)

Bike was really good on the flats but was awful on hills

Run was shocking - legs just did not work, so slow.

Was good to get back into it and overall was what i expected. Hip was sore but not limping during or after really.

Will have a week off and then start light winter training
