This blog should really be titled “learn from my mistakes”. As you will see, even a ‘seasoned’ triathlon Age Grouper can still make a total mess of their race. So I write this with no small dose of humility or embarrassment; but hopefully if you read this you might be able to have a more successful day yourself.
So, if you read my blogs you’ll know that the decision to race Weymouth 70.3 was taken after a bit of a disaster at the Cotswold Classic triathlon, where I allowed a puncture at 70km to get into my head and ruin the race, leading to a DNF. I was determined I was going to finish a middle-distance triathlon in 2017!
