Sitting with a glass of wine I n the after glow of having completed Blenheim triathlon yesterday - an amazing event, with great people and something I'd really recommend for anyone wanting a different challenge! Just such a great day and at 1:51 for the sprint distance, quite chuffed - though the run was hard!

And hats off to my husband who was a weekend warrior and did 5 triathlons in the 2 days!

Best bit about the whole weekend was our nearly 7 year old saying we had inspired him and he wants to join in and do his first triathlon #startemyoung 😊

Wow, Well done !

You triathletes have my complete admiration , it takes some balls to do a swim, bike and then run at the end of it !

Enjoy your wine, I think you've earned it , Massive Congratulations on a fantastic achievement ! xxx

Thank you! Have to say i find it easier to do the 3 things rather than running a longer way - hats off to everyone who puts in lots of running hours! When the weather isn't great for running I get to go swimming instead :)

Thanks everyone! The wine was lovely although maybe I over indulged as found myself registering interest for the 2017 event :)
