In fact I'll send out the results now to people that I have the email address for.
If you don't have them by 6.30 PM tonight email and I'll get them to you
Ta for the results - very interesting - you kicked my ass on the bike and thats meant to be my speciality !
Will do it now
Run placing overall (count individual seniors only)
2nd Place - Rob - 18.46
12th Place - Cougie - 21.14
14th Place - Lloyd - 21.35
Best - 18.09
Worst - 26.34
For the cycling
Rob - 30.40
Jonny C - 31.17 (This time includes any traffic lights may have hit the rest do not)
Cougie - 31.30
Lloyd - 35.28
Not sure on best and worst and I can't get a couple of the times as the cycle finish time was not taken - I guess there must have been a few people coming in at once in them cases
I'm really chuffed with my run time, there was no body else under 19 minutes in fact the next quickest run time was 19.01 and then 19.21
I'm definitely keen to come back and have another go. My biking wasn't as good as it should have been !
I was also thinking about my time counting for the team, so when I felt like curling up into a ball and dying I kept plugging away
I had cramp in my abs on the second lap, no idea where it came from (lack of fluid maybe?) but that run off over the bridge and I took it up from there home.
It's definatly the bike I need to work on and I think I should get my self entered in a road race or two and see what I can do. Ultimate aim 37.15 for 10k that's 6 minute miles right?
Not sure I'm really quicker than Les on the bike, though I did stop 4 times for traffic lights!
I had a bad ride due to not warming up. Legs cramped and felt crap against that wind. Normally the swim in tri is a nice warm up and it stops you going off too fast in the cycle.
Fair play to you tho' guys. Without a bad back I think my times would have been about
ergo 14 bike 33 run 27 = about 1:13 ish so plenty of room for improvement!
Am thinking of going for track accreditation at the velodrome so I can still do winter training without running. I'll let you know how it goes.
Let me know if you want to come along sometime.

Also, last compared to all the men, including vets - I think I need to do something about my fitness, Jane
It takes a lot to come out and race in the middle of winter - esp those conditions on the day. Also you missed out on your best discipline (swim) and took on a completely new one against a load of rowers!!
Look at it this way - you completed all three legs that's more than I did!
Keep on racing.
Off to Athens in 2 days until 4th Jan, so will just be trying to keep running every couple of days to keep things ticking over whilst I can't get to the pool, gym or out on the bike.
Have fun over the holidays, Jane
Would lycra shorts be a good idea for the row? Or would they slip?

I wore a pair of Ron Hill leggings and a thermal top, threw on a Gilet for the cycle and took it off again for the run.
Not sure I'm the right person to ask for advice on this but you shouldn't slip off the machine with cycling shorts. I have a wonderful shiny lycra I sometimes wear for rowing and I don't fall off with that
Jonny,
Sound s great about the cycling, esp as I'll not be rowing from March onwards
