My training mates who did the Gower Tri last year came back so full of what a great day it had been, that they encouraged my sufficiently to enter.
Whilst it is probably the slowest and un-fittest Tri I have done (following an injury a quarter of the way through the Dragon Ride which put a spanner in the works for 6 weeks running up to the Gower Tri), I would however stick my neck out and say it is probably THE most enjoyable and 'special' Tri I have ever done.
From the organisation, to the people competing and contributing and watching and commentating over the loudspeaker, to the setting.... my word..... As I waited for the 30 sec hooter to start us off, I looked around me at what a beautiful world we are privileged to share and live in and I thanked God from the bottom of my adrenalin filled heart.
