Went up to Centennial Park for the third week of the BRAT beginner’s bike group. This week was sprint training, so we set off, two abreast, around the park. Two locations had been pointed out around the lap, approximately 400m apart, and we had to sprint that 400m, then drop to the back of the group. When my turn came around I took off, and got up a good head of speed. I’d underestimated how long the distance was and was fading a little in the last 50m. My legs were in bits afterwards, but we only had a few laps left after that. Once we’d finished it was time for coffee and a toasted sandwich before heading home via the Icebergs to meet Kev and watch him join BRAT. Niall is also joining. I don’t think they’ve any interest in triathlon per se, but there a couple of run training groups they would like to join, and there’s also the club racing series which provide a few cheap races for them to do. You never know though ;-)
