  • Phew! What a fast and tough race that was, take a dive into my weekend racing Round 3 of the Welsh Super Series at Cardiff Bay, organised by Always Aim High Events!
    8th overall today at Round 3 of the Welsh Super Series at Cardiff Bay 🤘🏻🏁
    Had a big job on my hands after an awful swim, coming out of the water in 77th I knew I had to make damage on the bike to get back up to the top! 🏊‍♂️
    Bike was unreal, a course that suited me down to the ground! Roundabouts, sharp turns and fast straights basically made it like a Crit course for 3 laps! Lots of power surges instead of consistently, got myself back up to 13th ready for hopefully a good run 🚲
    THE BEST RUN OFF THE BIKE OF MY LIFE! Managed to keep the pressure on and run pretty fast throughout with a 35minute split. For the first time ever, I didn’t get passed on the run and I actually gained 5 positions 🏃🏻 🔥
    Although my swim needs some major work, there is so many positives to take away from Cardiff.
    Lots of love to ‪@alwaysaimhighevents7942‬ for a fantastic and well organised event, ‪@welshtriathlon4050‬ for the super series and all the hundreds of Marshall’s that stood on the side of the road for hours in some grim conditions 🌧️ 👏🏼
    Great crowd as always on a lapped bike and run course meant that motivation was at an all-time high 📈
    Swim: 28mins
    Bike: 58mins (close to fastest time of the day)
    Run: 35mins
    Overall: 2:05:04 (8th overall / 6th Age Group)

    Thank you for sharing this mate - eyeing it up as my first 70.3 next year and great to hear AAH are great organisers. Well done on the finish 👏

      It was also my first 70.3 a few years ago, they listened to feedback and the time has been pushed back to accommodate a better start time.
      AAH were great, if you can do 7 laps of the bike and 5 of the barrage you can do anything!
      FYI - Sight the ferris wheel back in! 🎡
