Race Report
Peebles Sprint Triathlon Sunday 14th June
Having foolishly missed out on entering Stirling the week before, I had entered this along with another 2 events in the Borders series without giving much thought about how far would need to travel, anyway had a good idea on route but had borrowed a SatNav which got me straight to Peebles swimming pool in plenty of time.
Started in heat 2 with 4 others in lane all of pretty much similar ability, wee bit of passing but no one lapped and all out in a line, short jog to transition area to grab bike etc. and up short hill to jump on bike at the top and away we go, chasing down anyone in front. Bike route was a 1 lap straight out and back with a few hills, and a bit of a headwind after turn. Caught a small group and after some continually swapping places got to front and a bit ahead before reaching T2. Really enjoyed bike, but a bit tricky when getting off and downhill to transition with cycling shoes, easier in bare feet but would have fallen off before if tried to take feet out of shoes while pedalling.
Feeling fine at this point but as usual unfortunately weakest part, the RUN !.
‘Just get into a steady pace, keep moving and don’t think about anyone else’.
Run route 2 laps on a flat course along side of river and only incline was the steps up the bridge over the river. Completed first lap and thought I can get much better time here than Bishopbriggs Tri the previous month, and did, completed in 1hr 27min 25sec, great improved by over 8minutes, well chuffed, and goody bag at finish with a bottle of water, packet of crisps and the best tasting cheese and pickle roll ever, not something I normally eat, but it was a great reward.
Event had limited of 130 in sprint along with others doing a ‘come and tri’ distance, weather was dry and not to hot but still sunny, and would recommend this event for anyone thinking about it in future.
Now looking forward to the next few tri events I have entered: Ayr OW, Hawick, Lochore and Kelso Sprints and with the various swim, run and bike sessions before, hopefully more improvements.
