3rd place at Hillingdon this week, a great race, pipped by Clark Schofield on the line by a wheel length. Well played sir! To clear up any confusion its a swim-run-bike format.

A fantastic swim saw me out of the water with the second group (Matt Maloy was gone and away), a really good effort. The run was OK but a tough couple of run days prior meant that I had heavy legs and couldn't quite get up to top speed. I went in T2 in 3rd and had a crap transition. Having over-slepped I racked near the bins and had to run just a little but further. The bike course was rolling with a couple of tough climbs, I overhauled Matt Patemen about 10k in and was in second until Clark took me to school in how to finish a race. All in all a great sharpener for next weeks Cowman.

Special thanks to Scherrit at the Bike Whisper who repaired my bike at the 11th hour on Saturday to allow me to compete.
