Race report by Rachel H:
Lancaster University Sprint Triathlon
This event is for charity and your event fee is fully donated which makes it quite a fun and friendly triathlon.
The pool swim was 400m and you work your way from 1 end to the other doing 2 laps in each lane then moving to the next until you reach the end lane, then run out into Transition 1, swim went well and no having to count laps is always a bonus.
The bike course was 20km and it started at the bottom of a hill and once you reach the top you were on a 9 lap course around the grounds, my chain came off at the top of the hill on the 1st lap but soon got it back on and then I was off, it was a challenge keeping count of the laps, but they were short, fast and flat, it started to rain on the last lap so I was pleased to be heading into Transition 2 for the run.
The run was a lovely mix of trail and tarmac, the 5km route took you uphill through a forest then back out around the grounds with an uphill finish back to the leisure centre where you receive you medal.
Finish time of 1:23:21 and 1st in my age category 🏊🏼🚴🏼🏃♀️
