Sue did the 5km in 23:35, wheras I took 29:15 and finished in position 384 out of 392 finishers.
There was someone behind me!
19 July - Wythenshawe parkrun #626
Sue was tail walker, so I was quicker than her today. She's pictured below with Paul and Jan, who kindly got me a coffee whilst waiting for me to finish in 33:46, in position 324 out of 411 finishers. Quite a few behind me today!
Ready for Charley's wedding?
Run Director Andy was having to walk due to plantar fasciitis Get better soon, Andy
I went to the second transition point as I was just doing the 6.5km run as part of Richard and Jenny's relay team. It was fairly deserted.
This was Sue's first Sprint Triathlon. She broke many of the multitude of rules. Here she is doing backstroke - an outlawed style. She was lucky not to be disqualified.
The new 'tri-suit' came in handy
The first transition to a 20km hilly bike ride was accomplished without too much drama
The run was hilly.
I missed a turn where the volunteer marshal was a 'no show', so (together with others) my 6.5km run was extended to 7.6km, with over 200 metres ascent. It took me over an hour, during which time it started to rain.
Here's our relay team at the finish
All good fun. Here are our results. I promise to do better next time!
