Scottish Tri Champs - 62nd and 17th Male Vet. 11minutes down on 3rd Vet most of which was lost on the swim. 2.38.33 overall and 2 minutes under target so happy with that on hilly / off road course.
4 minutes for transition. Swim transition rubbish not helped by loss of balance from the cold water.

Scottish Tri Champs - swim - pretty cold with all the rain but not too bad. Small loch and very crowded so lots of bashing most of the way. A bit disappointed with time but difficult to get a rhythm going with all the kicking. 6 minutes down on Will M, 14 minutes on Andy T!

Run section - nice 2 lap off road course on undulating grass and tracks with a number of stop turns. Took quite a few places but took a little time to get going, although surprised to see 2nd lap a little slower but hamstring did start to cramp up near the end
