Triathlon Training...update

28:51
The time recorded for my first biathlon!

The event was hosted by Men’s Health at Andrew Boy Charlton Pool in Sydney. It was extremely well organised and a whole lot of fun. The 4km run followed the path lining the botanical gardens and finished with a 300m swim in the pool. The contestants were sent in ‘waves’ so that there was not a mad rush in the pool, with the lightening speed men and women heading off about 10 minutes before ‘wave 4’ (this was me!)

Although competitive and a great fitness challenge, the event was relaxed and the staff extremely encouraging and helpful. It was quite amusing running past all the city dwellers in their suits, as we jogged our hearts out in swimmers, shorts and sneakers.

To any of you thinking of trying out this event, I wish you well! I would encourage all fitness levels to use this as a training tool or simply an enjoyable fitness activity at dusk in a picturesque location.

27:00….. My goal time for next race!
