BRAT Triathlon Heffron Park 65.31

Down to Heffron Park this morning for the BRAT club triathlon, with Noosa on the same day i thought many of the stronger athletes would be up north - And so it was with only the impressive Dave Matthews (who did a 16.20 at the biathlon last week) in attendance, although sometime HuRT and Hard man Brendan Krone was there as was gun cyclist Stewie 'Computa'
After yesterday i was just keen for a good hit out and decided to sit on Krone's feet with about 4 others for the swim leg. Felt pretty comfortable as i went through a touch over 13 minutes. A quick T1 (unlike last weeks debacle) and i was off on the 20k 10 lap technical bike course. I still had the disk wheels on the bike from last weeks Nepean Tri and was working pretty hard making sure i kept a few of the others at bay as i knew they could possibly run me down in my present condition. Computa came flying by as if i was standing still at one point but my lap times were OK and i came into T2 with a bike time of 32.40
Out on the flat 5k run course and legs felt heavy even after the first 800m, just tried to hang on and was happy to see only Matthews and Computa ahead with just 2ks to go.
Worked the 5ks at 3.50 pace to finish the run section on 19.00 to stop the clock in 65.31 overall  and i think 3rd place overall (not 100% as there were 2 starts and the slower people go in the first wave and sometimes you get a few who fly under the radar).
In fact i should be pushed up a spot as Stewie Computa for some unknown reason swims in his wetsuit (in the pool can you believe) and technically is outside the rules :)

Good all round weekend for the HuRTS boys i hear, first Enda and the Leech take out the Strider's, then Tucks wins a marathon (don't know where to be honest) and Skippy Heyden gets 2nd in a 60k walking event.
Good luck to Sonya tonight over in New York, Her preparation hasn't been great as she hurt her back and then got caught in the cross fire whilst at L.A Airport having to to hide under the tables whilst a madman was running around - scary $h!te :(

Back out tomorrow, would love to get a run in somewhere and may even sacrifice my regular Monday swim in order to fit it in.


Cheers
