Race Report

4am – the alarm seems louder than normal.  Breakfast, coffee, high five – zippy!  Car loaded, formula 1 impression on drive to Rutland.  Queue, for poxy car park ticket.  Race delayed 15mins.  Keeping calm, more gels, very zippy!!  On a cloud filled, windswept morning, the dew glistened as the triathletes took to the white capped waters of Rutland water from 7.30 on Saturday morning.  The swim shortened for safety reasons, headed out to the first and second buoys. It was tough as swimmers struggled against waves and too many other swimmers all trying to gain ground in the same bit of water.  The swim settled down a bit as the pack turn left and headed north and inland.  Waters calmed – the swimmers calmed.  Within 30mins the run through transition is completed and the bikes are finding the first hill is not so bad.  The cycle course was windy, at times very windy, the climbs relentless on the way up but fast and flowing on the way down.  A challenging bike course, the field started to break up with the faster triathletes really gaining ground.  In and out transition and the run out to the causeway seemed ok until you realised that the run went on for at least another mile around the lake, turn around and back again.  Thankfully feed stations every 2.5km meant that Hi Five coursing through the blood could continue to do its stuff.  And why is it that there are so many fast runners?  These people that run sub 45min 10km need to be banned or made to wear weight belts.  A great event and definitely one that everyone should do – at least once!
