Held in the shadow of Ely Cathederal the Ely Sprint Tri was held at the Kings School in Ely and consisted of 300m, a 21km cycle around the Suffolk Countryside and a 2-lap challenging 5km off-road run. The swim was 12 lengths of 25m in the school's outdoor pool with swimmers going off in 30 second intervals. From the pool their was a short run into the transition area and after donning helmet, shoes and Harriers top it was out of transition and once past the bike mounting line the cycle moved ut of Ely out to the A10 and once off this road the route followed country roads into Coveney and then towards Wentworth and Witchford before returning to Ely via the A10  /A142 and a short climb back to the school.  After the second transition we embarked on the 5km run which was a 2-lap challenging course through a wooded area leading to running around a sports field and then back through the wooded area to a second sports field. This was my taste of triathlon and I have to say I thoroughly enjoyed it and am looking forward to my next one at the end of September.
