Trying another tri!

Done it again!
What a star - another triathlon under her belt! This one was at Lichfield, the swim was amazing with Vicky's breast stroke beating all the other swimmers in her wave, most of them using the crawl stroke! A lovely bike ride into the country was followed by a somewhat shortened 5K (probably less than 4K). The photo gives you an idea of the weather conditions, but she was determined not to let the chill slow her down. Here Vicky is flagging up her time slip, unfortunately there was no indication of who, if any, of the other competitors were in her age group - I certainly didn't see anyone ahead of her who looked in the mature category. Two more tries to go this year - watch this space!






Pork scratchings anyone?
Vicky now has a brand new racing bike, however this triathlon was the last spin out for the old Trek which I was somewhat concerned about since one of the valves was nearly falling apart and the rest of the bike needed a fair bit of attention - however it got round OK - is now being donated to Evans Cycles for their charity supply. Our short visit to the Midlands was finished off nicely with another visit to one of our favourite pubs, The Burnt Pig at Ilkeston.
