A good result

The run up to the waveney 2 triathlon started on Monday 30th with an easy bike ride out to Somerleyton with Joe.
Tuesday I biked to work and back steady on the way there and pushed on the way home then went for a swim at Fritton did about 2000m concentrating on relaxing and swimming as efficiently as I know how to.
Wednesday got up early and went for a gentle 3 mile X country run.
Thursday The Rock Estate bike ride was an easy 27 mile ride at a steady pace with Joe along for his birthday ride.

Friday and Saturday I didn't do anything

Sunday morning was an early start off to Bungay I ended up starting in a wave with Liam and Jimbo which was good but could have gone horribly wrong if Jimbo had come out of the water before me on his first triathlon, as it was he wasn't far behind but Liam wasn't far ahead after swimming 2 extra lengths again! not a startling swim time 6.44 for the 400m onto the bike and felt comfortable all the way around, I had no expectations of doing well in this event but wanted to do the best effort that I could, Ive been feeling tired recently so wasn't sure how I would go. I was pleased with my bike time of 31.54. then onto the run felt good for the first 1/2 mile then started to slow, managed to maintain a reasonable pace although didn't feel fast, completed the 2 miles in 13.01.
Another good event well organised and great weather the Rock estate race team put in good performances across the board all coming in under the hour, my time of 51.39 was good enough for 3rd place over all which was a good result for me, although a way off the leader and Liam who put in an excellent bike time and finished 2nd over all.

A gentle week to come before the last Olympic distance event of the season at North Norfolk, It would be nice to finish the season with another good time!!
