Sevenoaks Tri... what a fab race!

Trigirl votes today's Sevenoaks Sprint Triathlon as her all time favourite race... so far at least. She completed the course (400m swim / 25K bike / 8k run) in 1:58:16.

And why was it so good? Firstly the course was very interesting - the bike ride was varied with challenging hills, technical bits and a few fast downhills, and the run was in a park full of deer; secondly the organisation was surperb with lovely finishing touches, such as race numbers with names on them; and thirdly the goody bag was really cool.

dizzy

Trigirl feels dizzy today and has done on and off for some time. It improves when she takes multivitamin and mineral tablets. What is happening? Is it an electrolyte imbalance?

Near vertical climb

Trigirl plucked up the courage to cycle up a near vertical hill near her house today.

She had been scared to attempt it on her road bike because she thought that she wouldn't be able to get her feet out of her cleats quickly enough if she needed to stop. Since M accompanied Trigirl on her ride today, Trigirl felt more courageous because Trigrl knew that M would have rescued her had it been necessary.

M was very impresed at Trigirl's abilities.

Trigirl is wondering whether she should boast to Cycle Chick G (who does not go up this hill because she thinks it's too hard).

chilled

Trigirl has been too chilled to write her blog.

Swiss mountain after mountain

Trigirl and family have been up and down the Swiss mountains - Rigi today, Titlis (with snow) a few days ago. Weather beautiful.

Switzerland!

Here are the two Junior Trigirls near the summit of Mount Brunni, Switzerland.

a triathlon at age 8

While practising her cycling with Trigirl, JuniorTrigirl 1 told Trigirl for the second time that she wants to do a triathlon when she is eight.

Trigirl and family watched one of the ITU World Championship Series triathlons on tv today. Junior Trigirl 1 was rather excited that the winner, Alistair Brownlee, is British.
