Wild weather

Posted under Races and Results

I enjoyed the Summer Survival run but it was surprisingly hard.  I ended up running in the midday sun and the course was mostly uphill or on sand.  I was lucky though, because there were plenty of people ahead for me to catch. 

The triathlon on Saturday was in the worst conditions I’ve experienced.  I was having one of those days when I was questioning what on earth I was doing at the beach, instead of being warm inside with a coffee and the paper.  (I wasn’t the only one.  A spectator told me we were all mad).  It was very windy, cold, rough and then the rain started. 

We tried telling the beginners that it’s not usually this bad but they weren’t convinced.
