St Jean de Luz Long Distance Triathon

2.5kms de natation....bien avant de partir j'ais demander a Jessica si elle pouvais juste me dire combien de temps j'aurais a ratrapper en sortant de l'eau....Durant presque 300 metres ca aller, j'etais presque en peleton....puis on tourne et je perds contact....on tourne encore et j'entends 500 mecs qui viens pour me nager dessus.....d'un coup j'ais l'impression d'etre dans le cycle essorage rapide dans une machine a laver turbo....Je maudis le con qui ma dis, pourquoi on irais pas faire le LD a St Jean (LUI IL BOSSER CE JOUR LA!)....bref, je me suis consoller en me disant que une fois sur terre ferme je pourrais m'exprimer.
ENFIN! je sort de l'eau, les filles etaient loin et presque toutes les mecs etaient deja sortie... Jessica me dis 19 minutes,,,,
bon, jais 80kms pour ratrapper les filles devant et autant de mecs que possible....
Je roule, me fais enfin plaisir, superbe paysage et jolies petite cotes....je fonce.
J'arrive a ratrapper tout sauf une fille et une vingtaine de mecs....
c'est parti pour la course a pied. j'aurais pu prendre une minute de plus pour m'enfiler des chaussettes mais jais aps fais....c'est parti pour 20kms. je voie la fille devant moi, elle est a 4 minutes et je me sens bien. je trace, mes pieds mouillés commence a froter un peu partout et des ampoules sont en route. Pas grave, j'attrape la premiere fille a 15kms de l'arrivée et je trace...je croise des potes et des copines, tous le monde a l'air content d'etre la au soleil....
Si un jour j'apprends a nager je prendrais encore plus de plaisir mais je me suis bien regaler quand meme!
2.5kms of ocean swimming and I dont really know how to swim! the first 300m were ok, i was actually in the peleton then suddenly we turned and the women were swimming away. I turned again and suddenly heard 500 men that were coming in about to swim over the top of me. The swim then became like the high speed spin cycle in the washing machine and I was all but having fun. My only consolation was to wait till I got onto dry land....
Soon as I stepped last out of the water, my friend Jessica yelled to me youre 19 minutes down. I had 80kms on the bike to catch back up....
Dry land at last, just what I love! I pushed onward enjoying the beautiful basque country side and sunny weather....over hill and dale I went and within 5kms from the finish I had caught all but one women and all but 25 or so men....
I pulled into the bike park and opted not to put on socks....off I went for a 20kms run. The first woman was 4 minutes up the road, I pushed forward and caught her with 15kms to go. It was a gorgeous day and all the competitors looked happy to be out on such a beautiful day...my feet were wet and blisters were forming but the sun was out so who cares! I pushed on to win and thought to myself, if only I could learn to swim Id really enjoy all three events!
