I know I have not been writing lately, but I have been in a number of races over the past few weeks. But I only want to talk about last weekends Tri Port Triathlon
Last weekend I had the Tri Port Triathlon Festival. My Mum had entered me in the under 20's age group as that was the lowest age group. Being fourteen I did not think that I had much of a chance as I had not done any swim training and only one ride in the week leading into the race. I had a mate who I knew would be tough competition and went into the race thinking that he was going to win.
To my surprise I smashed my 750m swim PB by almost three minutes swimming 11:21. Once the swim was out of the way I knew that I just had to start winding people in on the bike and run. Amazingly I caught my mate on the first lap of the bike and when I came off the bike I in was in 3rd place. I had a fast transition and then went into the run hoping to bring back some more people. Well thankfully I caught one other male competitor who was in second overall. I came across the line in second and had won the under 20's. I'm very happy to come away with that result in my first race back.
