Andover triathlon is tomorrow…
… so I thought I’d better pay attention to it as I’ve been ignoring it for a while. I had to look up the Andover Tri Club’s website to find out what distance it is. Turns out it is a 440m pool swim, a 30k bike and an 8k run. Hmmmm, I thought the run was shorter when I entered!
So the plan is to get there early-ish, ride around the run course to see what it is like and then get myself ready. The plan then is to swim hard, bike hard and run hard. Pretty simple really. I am not sure how hilly it is – there is a elevation profile on the map but it isn’t hugely helpful for me. I get the impression that it is rolling, with the hilliest stuff coming in at 14k, 21k and 24k.
The run seems to have a bit of a hill after the 1st km, then pretty much downhill/flat until the 4th km before being pretty much uphill after. Who knows though!
So far today I did a 67 min cross-country run with the dogs. They enjoyed it a lot. Oh, I also went wakeboarding. I did a lovely face plant!
