Box End Quadrathlon - 2nd August

This was an "off-road" Quad.

• Starting with a 750m open water swim,
• 4.4km kayak with 2 portages,
• 15km (3x5km loops) mountain biking on a soft grassy and often rutted course
• and finishing with a 5km run on the same track.

This was my first solo multi-sport event and was chuffed to finish 17th out of 42 competitors in a time of 1hr09, with the 12th fastest time in the paddle leg. Interestingly the top finishers were also by far the best paddlers! So if you can swim a bit, manage an hour + cycle and then still finish a 5-10k run, then forget the triathlon and take the next step up.

Next up the real deal in Pembroke on 12 Sept.
