Blenheim Palace Triathlon

I did it!!!

When I was creating my "monthly resolutions" list, I decided that the month of May would be to train for a triathlon. I decided to sign up to Blenheim Triathlon, with very little enthusiasm! I have watched my boyfriend compete in 4 triathlons, and never had the urge to do one myself. I think it's good to challenge yourself though, and then once you have accomplished a challenge, the sense of achievement is even greater. 

I never would have thought I would enjoy the triathlon so much, or even do as well as I did. Apart from it being a beautiful course, and  a lovely day: we had a big team of supporters there and enjoyed a huge picnic after the race. It was nice to do it with my boyfriend too, we started in the water together, and then met again at the bike transition stage.

​My main aim was to complete it and get around the course, but when I got my time I was over the moon! I was also really happy when it was over (and as you can see I had to celebrate)....but you never know, I may even do another one next year.
