Helvellyn Triathlon

Helvellyn Triathlon

September 2010. Trihard Events (recommended) Helvellyn Triathlon. Didn’t go quite to plan. Two spokes from an 18 spoke front wheel broke. So I ran 10.5 miles of the 38 mile cycle leg. And then did the run/hike up Helvellyn. All in all it was quite an experience. Sunshine for the Ulswater swim. A good day.

This was quite an experience. And I'd also like to thank Steve for getting me to the event (from Kielder – that’s another story) and Dean for collecting my carcass and getting me home. It was quite an adventure. I won a Speedo wetsuit for my ‘troubles’ (the Speedo prize for the most outstanding performance of the day – outstanding comes in many forms).

And this is a link to a PDF file of the story I wrote for 220 magazine… My Helvellyn Triathlon experience. And here's a link to the event of you fancy it https://www.helvellyntriathlon.co.uk/.
