2 more PB's - 1st Oly under 2:30, does that make me a 220 ?Yesterday did the Birling Beast in 2:29:42 (1st Oly under 2:30) and was 13th out of 60,
7:08 faster than last year and all bits quicker too. 10th on the swim in 25:40 (never done a 750 under 13!) was 3rd on the bike, and 23rd on run well chuffed with that. Few Days b4 did Hever Midweek in 1:21:45 was 3:54 faster than in May and all bits quicker too and 18th out of 161 and beat mate Steve by a minute or so, he beat me in May. My biking going great and getting good at drafting (Chris Butler) on the swimming which getting me faster, need to do some serious running as that's what's letting me down. Been PBing most of the season, must be doing something right - oh yeah training rather than reading/talking/thinking about it !!! Next up 2 week holiday then back for Leybourne midweek sprint and the Ashford Sprint. Leybourne Sat Sprint This was another PB for me - then again I'd never done this distance(750m/20k/5k) at Leybourne b4, so anytime was gonna be a PB !!
Turned up to what was a big field (76 starters) at Leybourne, biggest in my time of going (last 5 years or so) and ... 3 PB's in a week 1st was a treadmill 5k in 20:30 (one day i'll get under 20 !) and yes it counts as a PB, well to me anyway !!
2nd was Leybourne midweek race, knocked 12 seconds off overall time and 30 seconds of best bike time
