The first TALR triathlon set by Robbie out of Champlain Park. Myself and the other valued participants (Marketa, Tommy, Natasha and race director himself RG) contested 12 laps of the oval (165m) and then out onto a 2 km loop in the Remic sector of the SJAMP trail.
I managed to achieve my goal of being under 45 min in total (44:12) and under 12 minutes for the skate (which I also managed to do in the warm up...I think if my counting was right)...Surprised yet not surprised that the skate was faster than the ski...
Great fun ...thanks for setting this up Robbie...love the signage it popped up just where I needed it.
To top it off Colleen had a plate of pancakes ready for me at home when I arrived...mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
Reported temp ~-8C ....wind chill not a biggy from my perspective.

....followed by a transition time of 7:07...hands got pretty cold getting out of the skates and into the ski boots....yep no nordic blades for me yet.

...then a 2:12 transition to get the ski boots off and the shoes on....Hands really cold after this...but not for long.

Running went well for me in the only leg that felt natural...then ~ 20 minutes of chatting before heading home as the second wave prepared to depart
