Weet Bix Tryathlon

Gideon and Grant are still drying out after a trip to the Weetbix Tryathlon in Mosgiel.
They had to be there at 7:30 to get the bike etc into the transition area, and then cruised around, buying a yummy sanitarium breakfast, and Gideon winning an 'up and go' drink in a free sideshow.

As you can see below, the weather was utterly atrocious, so they flagged the swim leg and turned the thing into a Duathlon.

We almost missed Gideons startwhich was scheduled for 10:00, but was broughtforward to about 9:30 due to the hideous weather. We got to the start on time for gideon to get his kit off, and charge after the bunch, catching them at the Bike Transition.
Grunta basically missed Gideons race, thinking that he'd be at the back of the bunch, and was always looking in the wrong place when Gid ran or rode past. Evidently Gideon went out and dominated passing about a hundred kids in the process.

Grant found em at the finish line, wet, cold and satisifed. After a quick swim in the mosgiel pool to warm up we cruised home.
