Our regular program schedule is being disrupted due to urgent repairs.
Please enjoy this rerun while we attempt to repair the damage.
Reading through Plu's blog and seeing the pictures from his tri career archive prompted me to send him an email to see if his much better record keeping also managed to snare some of my performances from the mid eighties. He found my times from the Sri Chimnoy tri in 1986.
Disclaimer, 85/86 was first year uni time, much more time invested in partying than training or studying. I did manage to only fail one subject....
2.3km swim in 53 min (bloody cold swim in Lake Burley Griffin before wetsuits were the norm!)
59km cycle in 1:55 (shivered on the bike for the first half hour as body temp returned, no tri bars then!)
16km run in 1:35 (remembered walking a bit for that one!)
Total time 4hours 23 min
Did manage to find some of my own certificates!
Ride 'N' Stride 1985
Hawkesbury
8km run 38:00
30km ride 1:02:40
8km run 1:05:20
Overall 2:46:00
Nepean
8km run 30:30!!!
40km ride 1:04:00
7km run 1:15:30
Overall 2:50:00
Much faster! But I busted myself on the bike leg I'd say.
Anyway, thought that might be of interest, given the recent tri postings of some other bloggers.
Regular running info will resume shortly! (typing this with ice pack applied and enjoying a glass of red) . Thanks to Plu for all of the info he has found on my early tri career!
