Law Wheelers Park Blast, 5 laps of the Strathclyde park road triathlon commonwealth games circuit.
1st lap was an easy warm-up then group was split based on ability.
Weather conditions were sunny and dry with a stiff easterly breeze, making the 2nd half of the lap tougher.
After the first lap the gap had noticeably shrunk, being able to see who's doing the chasing on the same circuit brings the mental side into play.
Coming up to the half way point in the 2nd lap Iain and Colin could see the "hares" around 3 minutes in front, just approaching the tough Bothwellhaugh climb. The writing was on the wall at this point.
Colin and Iain split at the start of lap 3, with a fortuitous use of a car. This slingshot meant C would catch the pair just at the main climb at the halfway mark.
The scream of being caught from the "hares" pierced the tranquility of the park.
Wilma had some excellent times for the lap, at 13:39, to 14:02
Colin had put in 10:49 to 11:18 times before the catch.
Colin had put in 10:49 to 11:18 times before the catch.
Most importantly coffee and cake enjoyed post ride at the Caledonian Bike Shop.
The scream at being caught included a swear word or 3! Was a great workout and the well earned cake was excellent. Must try and hold you guys off until at least lap 4 next time.
