I really dont like competitive swimming, and i dislike training for it even more! So it was with reluctance that i entered the aquathon- 2/3rds of a triathlon - yesterday. 800m swimming in the new and shiny Guildford pool, and then a 5km run.
I was hoping for a time of 35minutes, given that it takes me so long to swim, but the weather was against us! The run turned out to be mostly offroad, yet I, along with everyone else on the Kings Triathlon squad had brought road shoes i.e not nearly enough grip.
Ensured I actually took 40mins to do it, but that meant i was 24th fastest guy (well done to Rob for a 6th place finish!) and i didn't drown in the pool!
Thanks to Creative Nature for the Maca root before the race- seems to be working!
