BIATHLON COMPLETED! Today I hand-cycled 15km (we took a detour!) and for 13 of them I only had 3 speeds; very slow but quite hard work; slow but hard work; and the most fun, fast (downhill)! The gears breaking at the start made it all the more challenging. It took 1hour 26 minutes.

The 1km swim went a little more smoothly, but I'm feeling it today! Many thanks to Middleton Pool, Newport Pagnell who gave me the use of the pool.
