The course was four laps of an out and back 10km loop with dead turns at each end. On closed roads it felt like a profession event – indeed there were male and female elite events to round off the day. Despite the weather – lashing rain and bike-wobbling gusts of wind – it was exhilarating with so many cyclists racing each other up and down the main streets of Liverpool. The run was similarly designed and for once I felt quite strong achieving a PB for a 10km run off the bike. Thanks go to my coaches Tony and Neil and Jen and Mark for this. I'm getting better slowly, but it is not yet good enough. Must work harder…! Finally, I can recommend The Liverpool triathlon, as it was well organised, with a good fast course and in a great city full of friendly people. Triathletes are a friendly bunch but the people of Liverpool made it specially so. The presence of my daughter, Victoria, a triathlete herself now, made it a special weekend. To cap it off watching Gwen Jorgensen (ITU Triathlon Champion from the USA) making running look so easy (5km at 15.23) has inspired me for future events. Now why can't I run like that…? Nick
