Nottingham National Relay
A great day and I reallly recommend it for those trying this sport for the first time. The weather was fantastic and the venue was perfect. There were lots of stars there including Spencer Smith world and Olympic Champion with the Planet X Team and Will Clarke one of the best swimmers around the world.
I was chuffed with an overall time of 50 minutes for a 500 m swim 15k bike and 5k run.
All in all it was a great last race of the season where everyone was chilled out and enjoying the massive scale and atmosphere of the place. It is the first time I have seen a triathlon with so much support and attendance from both racers and spectators...its exciting times for the sport in the UK and I have a feeling the competitions are only going to get bigger and bigger as the sport grows in popularity.
My Team won the local league thus the drinking of champagne despite the strict diet

Where was the venue? Wollaton Hall? Goose Fair site?

You show an excellent knowledge of the British Isle did you used to live here ?
It was at the fairly new Olympic Water Sports Arena.
Does Domino Power do Triathlons ?

Below 50 minutes is a great time. Well done.
You don't look that tired though.
Next time 2 minutes less please

Theo thanks for the comment its funny because before this season I would have said that I could knock of two minutes with a bit of training but it takes a year of hard work to get that much time off.....so the answer is I am hopeful and I will try but but don`t be mad if I am a few seconds off.
