Second time I've done the Edinburgh NYD Triathlon (last time in 2018). A glorious sunny day - just a bit chilly.
Not quite sure how they do the order of the swims but certainly not the fastest first. I was 76th off the start of around 400 competitors. Felt like a pretty solid swim - passing some getting passed by some.
Took the softies option for T1 with a visit to the changing room to dry and dress properly for the cold outside. A short run on the freezing tarmac in bare feet to get to the bike.
A good bike ride passing many on the way up the hill. Taking things very carefully on the descent.
The run didn't feel good after the bike efforts but that is always the way in triathlon. Finished quite strong.
Overall time was 1 hr 39 mins 43 secs - 161% of the winning time. Bike and run were both pretty good at 149% of the fastest time in each.
