Event: T100 Olympic Distance
Date: 28th July 2024

On July 28th I took part in the T100 Olympic Distance!

It was a hectic start to the event on Saturday, as that’s when everyone had to drop off their equipment at the ExCeL near Docklands. On my way to the expo centre, I ended up joining the T100 pro women’s race for a few moments (mostly due to clueless marshals) but luckily a man shouted out and made sure I got off the course!

Besides the hectic drop-off on Saturday, Sunday was off to an early start. I was up at 6am and in the water at 7:40am.

I would rate the swim course 6/10 given the water in Victoria docks is not surprisingly, murky…

The bike course 9/10 given it was one large lap towards Big Ben rather than multiple smaller laps which the T100 participants undertook.

Finally, I’d give the run course 8/10 since the sun was out and the run was next to the docks with plenty of aid stations to get everyone to the finish line in one piece.

Overall, a great event with loads of participants and free swag. I managed to finish up in under 2hr30 which was a personal goal!
