ECTA Development Triathlon 25 Octocer 2009 - Olympic Distance

My first Olympic Triathlon since WTC. Tried to take it easy. Wanted to relax and enjoy it more than anything, but in a race find it difficult to keep throttling back!  Strong westerlies and long swim course (felt closer to 2km!). Swim + T1 = 41min. – Bike + T2 = 1hr 21 min (av HR 136). –  Run = 1hr 6min (av HR 139). Max HR 148 (+95%). Ankle and hip injuries feeling a lot better – Hooray!. After finish did 500m cool down walk and enjoyed unexpected but very welcome ITB massage. Slow times but very cool!
