This was the 200th anniversary of the birth of the founder of the Wenlock Oympian Society, Dr William Penny Brookes. and the first time I had done the tri.  I usually do the 7 mile road race, but had always wanted to do the tri.  I loved it.  The pool swim (500M) was well staggered so that the lane never got very busy.  The cycle route was hilly, but not too busy - about9 miles I think.  The 6k run was lovely.  Mainly off-road with lots of stiles, woods and fields. 

I really enjoyed it and the bonus was that I was showered and tucking into the cakes and ice-cream before friends who were doing the road race had even started!!
