Triathlon 20/52 and the best one yet. In fact at 2hrs 47 minutes it’s the fastest Olympic Triathlon I’ve done. Super pleased with that. Maybe it was the new sports gear I was wearing from Prince sports!! Tony Parks sponsored me for this event and sent me some Prince sportswear and to be honest just knowing that I have such support really does lift me and make me go harder. So how did it really go; well this was it - swim was bumpy. Really windy this morning so was thrown all over the place. Oddly enough I love that about the sea and I find it the most exciting swim. So I put my head down and just plotted through the waves on a wide swim around the pier. Bike was just spin those legs at the highest cadence I could. Just work hard and harder. Run was great. It’s been a while since I did under an hour on the run section, so 57 minutes was great. I went to the British Airways i360, which is so cool (and is run by some of the nicest people in Brighton by the way), then turned and a hard push through the wind to make it home. All in all I felt mentally and physically strong - such a contrast to last week. So that’s 20/52 done and really feeling like progress is being made.
