This is me coming out of the water at Bala 2008, it was the last race of the season - it was fun. I didn't really have any run legs on the day, but with a hard winters training, hopefully I should be sharper for 2009............

Bala was my last "race" of the season, although I have done a couple of races for fun since. A 1hr criterium race in Prestatyn - I hadn't been on my bike for 2 weeks and had the legs ripped off me, it was a buzz! I then did a 5km open water swim race in Turkey, there were some pretty fast guys there, I know, I saw there feet briefly at the start! Three years ago I couldn't swim 25m so I can't complain!

Anyway back to training.......it feels good!
