Tales of a first time Triathlete

Here’s a summary of my triathlon debut! I crashed at 38km/hr despite a warning before the bend. There was gravel on the side of the road and when my front wheel went into it, it slipped out from under me. I managed to get back on my bike and slowly picked up my pace again.

It all started with the swimming. I am treasurer at Chesterfield Swimming Club where I have been a member since 2008. On the back of the swimming I was looking for a bit more of a personal challenge, so I checked out Sheffield Triathlon Club in January and recently joined Triathlon England to get my race licence.
