Myself (Rach) and a few colleagues from AXA Insurance - (Lance, Ashley and Laurent) decided to do a mini triathlon hosted by JP Morgan. Don't ask me why, we just thought it might be fun.....
It was held out at near Windsor at Eton college, where the princes went to college, also the 2012 Olympic rowing site. There were about 120 competitors split into 3 waves.
We were all provided with wetsuites for our dip in the lake which was surprisingly warm.
We started with the 400m swim (Poms cannot swim so this was a breeze!), followed by a 20km bike (on my shiney new bike Justin got me for my birthday) and finishing with a 5km run. I finished the race with a time of 1hr 20mins and ended up coming 3rd woman.
We had a great day, and we got a free lunch, so it was all worth it.
