Oakham Sprint Triathlon 2014
June 29th 2014 400m pool swim, 22km bike, 4.5 km run The end of a run of a few races for me! Oakham triathlon takes place at Catmose College in Oakham, Leicestershire. The college itself is a collection of lovely new buildings on a great site. Unfortunately the swimming pool itself is an old building, resembling perhaps a greenhouse which has lived out it's design life. Having found no changing facilities at all, I put on my trisuit and headed for the swim. The pool itself wasn't so bad, quite bright due to the window arrangement and only four lanes. The lanes them self were pretty busy and I found myself at points with four others, but somehow managed a fairly decent swim. Out and down the steps to transition I enjoyed the short swim to bike distance. However, once I had my bike it was a good 100 m run to the mount line! Mounted and going, I completed the sneak extra half kilometre that had been added the day before the race (with no maps!) and set off onto the route....
