That's a very impressive list of achievements! 😅
I have a close friend who is a cyclist, we always joke that if could find a good swimmer we'd have a decent triathlete between us 😂
Hello Steve, It really is isn't it! 😀I have got some funny triathlon stories of the three I have taken part in!! 🏊🚲🏃I may have to share them...!! 😃
@@RunWithJulia Certainly! I'm off to the Northern 12 Stage Road Relays on Saturday. I'm planning to dig out the race day shoes and give it a good go! 🌠
@Stevenc1984 Ahh brilliant! Love those relays!! Yes ! Give it a go ! I look forward to hearing how it goes ...
@@RunWithJulia Back from a very windy Northern Road Relays. Initially I was selected for a short leg, but due to logistical issues (gridlock traffic) I was asked to run a long. Remembering the learnings from your videos of plans changing, I was able to complete the 8km leg (7.7km a little short) in 27:57 at a pace of 3:38/km or 5:50/mile. Wonderful day out if not perfect weather conditions, but as you know I'm used to that! 🌪😂
@Stevenc1984 Wow! Congratulations 🎊 Great running! 👍 Especially having to adjust plans as you went !! And from short to long, too!! A harder change !
I used to love running relays and remember watching the Southern 12 stage back in the day when Nige ( H1) was running it 🙏🏻 Fabulous ! And in the wind! 🙌
