Well, this was either going to be a disaster or a riot! It was fantastic. Best time I have had for a long ol time! So many happy memories returned and just great to catch up with some people that I had forgotten how much they still mean, even after little contact for the last 20 years!
On the day I still managed a 2 hour bike in the morning and a 10k run. The Blackpool Hilton 10k. My god, the weather!!! Shocking! Almost swept away by the sea! And that is only a mild exaggeration! 40 mins and 8 secs, I'll take that on the day, and ran strong, espeically after a tough 2 hour tempo ride in gale force winds and having driven up from Poole to Blakpool the day before, not getting in til midnight.

Richard Daniels was third, old school friend and great to catch up with him. Richard if you read this, well done, good solid 3rd place there and just a shame we didn't get to have a good natter at night. Usual thing of trying to catch up with everyone! Definitely coming to see you next summer when I'm at Roth.
Back to full on training this week. Swam this morning, bit tired, but ok swim time wise. Will spin on rollers tonight, in need of some bike miles in the legs! But plenty in the schedule for the rest of the week and will get me up for New Forest tri in 2 weeks! Just hope this lousy weather improves!
