The welsh championship was held in Porthcrawl on the 23rd of August, I was looking forward to this race as i was finally back fit from being ill and eger to race. The conditions were not nice with wind and a bit of rain but that didnt put me off, the race went well with myself coming out of the 750m swim in third place which i was pleased with. I then had a bit of a slow transition due to struggling with the aero helmet. The bike was 22k non drafting and quite hilly, i struggled on the bike and lost a few place , but i knew it would be different on the run as i had been running well in training. The run felt really good and i started to make a lot of time up on the other competitors putting in the 2nd fastest time of the day, which i was chuffed with. overall i finished 7th in the open mens catergory which i was very pleased with. But overall it showed my biggest weakness which was the bike and has been for a while in non drafting races!!!
