Christened the Chrono yesterday with a win at the Duston Tri, a sprint race near Northampton. The swim was entertaining - a 400m pool swim - with people swimming all over each other, but the bike and run were good fun and I felt like I was on good form, completing the swim, 20k bike and 5k run in 58.01 to win the overall women’s race and my age group. With only six weeks to go until the Worlds in Vancouver I’m keen to get in as much race practice as possible and it was great to actually race the Chrono after taking it out for a few training rides in the past couple of weeks. It rides really well, I love the SRAM levers and it even climbs well for a tri bike.
Training has been going well, it’s all getting quite intense now with turbo sessions that are killing me and treadmill sets that are more than making me sweat. Feeling stronger day by day, though, so hopefully it’ll all pay off in the end.
Happy training
