I took part in the Trinity Triathlon in Croydon on the 10th July. This was organised by the Trinity School and Crystal Palace Triathlon Club. It was a really early start as the Start Time was 9.15am the reason being that they had closed the A232 main road outside the school for the event apparantly diverting 5000 cars! It was however not as early as Harry Leleu who had a start time of 6am, he had finished before we arrived. We were the only two from CWTC which was a shame as it was a really nice venue and the marshalls and officials were all very friendly and helpful. Harry came 4th with a very good overal time of 33.17. I registered and then got everything ready in transition. The pool was a 25m pool, and I had to do six lengths the swim was really strange as we were all started off one at a time in the same lane at 5 sec intervals and then had to swim in a zig zag fashion, this meant that I was held up quite a lot as I could not overtake as there were so many swimmers in each lane. I still managed a pretty good time, then it was a walk down some steps and into transition. I think I did quite well this time in transition, and then it was out to do 4k on the closed road that was really fun. I came in third on the bike then grabbed some water and set off on the 1.2k run. This was a nice run consisting of two laps around the schools cricket pitch. My swim and bike times were good, however I really need to knock a minute off my run time. However there were only 49 secs between me and the third placed boy.
