Just a quick thank you to all the marshalls - these events are not possible without you. Also well done to my fellow athletes - in particular to the top 3. If any first timers didn't finish them swim, then don't lose heart - it was very tough out there today.
Good luck to the club with the rest of the series, I won't be able to make any of the other aquathlons, but hopefully, I'll see ye again at one of the 25.5 events in September. Off to bed now: I'm shattered!
