For Simon Tack the MAA triathlon was his second ever tri and his first Olympic Distance event. The timing for Simon wasn’t great as he was just recovering from a lung infection, but 15th in his age group 45th overall are not bad stats! Even more worthy of congratulations are that Simon managed a personal best in the cycling and most importantly a PB in the run.
Simon says: ‘The run is by far my weakest discipline but I managed a 54.12 even though I left transition with my helmet on, did not realise for 150m so had to run back to the exit and give it to a marshal. Prize muppet. Still, the first time I have run under 57 minutes for a 10k and it was after the other 2 events. Colette was racing as well which really made the day.’
Times:SWIM 26.45; T1 02.31; CYCLE 1.22.11; T2 01.24;RUN 54.20
TOTAL 2.47.12
Good luck with your next race Simon – a 70.3 at Eton none-the-less!
