For this last day of July, so I decided to take part in triathlon in the Bay of money.
The weather was special: a wind of 50 mph and rough seas.
The start is: The first objective is not to be thrown on the beach by the sea I come somehow to swim and find comes a steady pace, between waves, penguins and troughs 3 m: an edition sport really. I double
a good fifty triathletes (I still can not take a terrible start), and after 750m to fight out in Australia: now pass out of the water and go back, what a mess!
On the way back I found myself alone with a triathlete in focus (which is actually a training partner David), this is the last buoy, turn right and exit water. For this move is no problem, a wave of the sea to eject after 2-3 spins and here I spread on the beach half rang.
I leave the water, take back my mind, an encouragement to David, quick transition and I am on the bike: starting tailwind, 50km / h to 180 cardio, I think I left the forces in water. The hard part comes: the long straight head wind with gusts sacred, we must stay focused, aero position and turning the cane.
At the end of lap 13 th here I am, already won 10 seats, the legs are getting better and better, I'd be faster on the second round than the first, I caught two more guys Small roads before returning to Cayeux.
Here I am at the park in 6 th position, quick transition and I'm leaving soon. Leaving the park I see Boubou and a little further Manu Lievin Fox.
After 2 km I return Boubou we encourage each other we tell our adventures swimming:). Manu I always focus on court like that, and behind a guy comes in, there is headwind away and waits. I invite him to go, I manage to repeat the icing between 2 ski sea water (I had to drink a liter during swimming). The first round ends and the gap has narrowed over Manu. I decide to bluff, put an attack, I can soon return and take just under 3'30 per kilo but 2 km from the finish I'm back by the two I just tried to let go, and then drive I have a hard whammy, but I cling to me will be fatal acceleration kilometer.
I therefore only for the 6th spot, but would finish 4th following the decommissioning of the first 2 have indeed surfaced swimming 120m (it did not exit in Australia).
Ultimately 2:01, 40. With a calmer swimming I could finally go under 2 hours, it will be a next time.
