The third in the series of five St Mary's aquathlons took place on Saturday morning, only two MAD Tri'er in this race, Chris Rhodes and myself.

Chris had an excellent race, although he said he was disappointed with a 5:04 swim !!!!, Chris was in the next lane to me and I'm sure he lapped me about four times. Unfortunately Phil Kibble caught him at the end of the run (Phil won the 5k Chippenham River Run in 15 mins - so a quick runner). Phil has entered the next two races Chris, so get working on your speed sessions as Phil is focusing on the series and we all want you to win it.

I wasn't happy with my own performance, my swimming has plateau'ed and I'm not progressing at all.

I just didn't have the motivation and focus to deliver on the run this week, I was 46 sec down on last month's run and that lost me 2 places.

I will have refocused myself by next month and will have the heart to push harder.

There are two more races in the series 18th Nov and 16th Dec (there is a promise of mince pie at the finish line for the December race). So if you fancy a blast out race over a flat course come along.
