Langport Tri – Sunday 18^th September

This did not start too well, I’ve been working in the Isle of Man and the flight back to Gloucester was a little rough to say the least, still it’s been worse.
I had a free entry for this event as I was Refereeing with Paul Lester who organises the Taunton Tri, we were sharing the duties with me off first at 8:45 so I could get back for Paul to go out.
It started as a disaster right from the beginning, first tri for two years and putting on my goggles the elastic snapped, lesson learnt there then. I had only swum once this year, the week before the tri !!!
Apart from no goggles the swim was my usual poor effort made even worse with no practice but the pool although open air was nice and warm, this was a blessing in disguise as it was pouring with rain and I was getting cold waiting for the start, so swim over off I plod to T1, not too bad, luckily I’ve a rear light set up on the bike so after a reasonable transition off I went, the first left turn at Langport comes up quite quickly and I remembered going into a slide at this bend the last time I did it in 1999 (I do like to keep all my records). After the turn the rain got harder and it was getting very difficult to see, there was loads of standing water and half way out on the bike there is a long hill, not particularly steep but it goes on, on turning left to start the hill the road surface felt strange, I looked down and the rear wheel seemed ok and I had new tyres and tubes so didn’t think it was a puncture, I continued until about half way up the hill when I had a strange vibration and knew it was a flat, now if you’ve ever tried to change a tube in the pouring rain, no glasses ( I put my contacts in for the race ), new Continental evo paves which they use on Paris Rubeaux fitted to Zipps you will know what a job it is, this took me 32 mins ( on Garmin ) and two very sore thumbs. I started to panic now realising I had to get back so pushed hard, making the power meter alarm have a head fit but luckily the rain had stopped and I eventually arrived at T2, I was going to stop there and retire but Paul said I had loads of time ( hasn’t seen me run before) so off I trotted, through the field of rather cross Geese up and down the lane and back to the finish. Although it was a disaster I did enjoy it as I do like Langport and making allowances for the puncture I was 12 minutes slower than in 1999 so that’s not too bad, I would of finished third in class, perhaps 2^nd had I tried a bit more on the run !!!

IM Wales Results ……. Well done to all competitors for finishing in extremely tough conditions – There was a big swell in the swim/ hilly and windy bike and a hilly run!!!  I have not put the transition times in as they were not too quick on the count of a 1,000m run from the swim and T1!!!!

Thanks to all the support crew who came down and all the new friends we made around Tenby.  A special mention must go to Kes for getting his ticket to Kona 2012!  Well done you deserved it!

Ironman Wales Results Analysis: Compared to Ironman UK

Congratulations to the 1134 triathletes who completed the inaugural Ironman Wales triathlon in an average time of 13:02. Any race over the 13 hour mark is one of the toughest in the world, and the 12% DNF rate, also one of the highest of all ironman events, proves the point.

With two races in the United Kingdom, each known for difficulty (UK average finish time in 2010 was 13:01, nearly identical to 2011 Wales, though in 2011 UK was much faster at 12:35), we compared the two by age group to see how comparable the courses may be.
