A very laid back event took place  in Cornwall with the lovely backdrop  of  Saint Andrew’s  Mount. Clear blue sea and sky  if not a little chilly at 16 degress but on race day pan flat. We all had a spendid time in Cornwall, some mates did a swim and beach run the previous day and some did the Triathlon also the following day.
It was refreshing to be in a sporting environment with no pressure  . The start took me by surprise on race morninig, without much warning , no cannons , whistles, hooters etc, just a lone female voice saying’ 10, 9, 8 oh well u may as well go ‘…
And the sprint race joining the Olympic distance race along the last part of the bike loop. confusing for a placement update. The bike was hilly  with some fast technical descents on the narrow cornish roads with traffic to dodge and some close encounters some were not so lucky and there were a few collisions on route. My  Slice seemed to eat up the roads there, thanks to my lovely sponsors’  Bike and Run‘ loan of some super Mavic wheels..thanks Steve!
Definatley a good fun weekend, for all levels and abitities. The only criticism was the price of the races, The Human Race  event was very very expensive. and no prizes or podium  at the end. Not good.
