Excellent race conditions this weekend, with a large field of athletes across the spectrum of abilities - definately a good one for those thinking of doing their first Triathlon.

From my perspective, a good cycle and swim - run saw the return of a niggling achilles injury - so time for a few weeks rest to sort it out. Overall the Southampton squad turned in a great set of results across the age categories.

Good race on Sunday. We must have placed quite well in the team event. Do you know who won? I'm still not happy with your bike split. Are you sure you're only biking once a week!

The worrying thing for you John, is I have backed off my cycling due to this anke injury !. Still a big incentive for you over the winter - mine is to improve the running.
