It was at the rather… Continue reading My first tri
Notorious night race
The first race this year was the Rat Race Henley Horseplay Notorious Night Race, which was awesome, although exceptionally exhausting. I raced on Saturday evening,by Tuesday I was still very stiff and sore! My calves were far too tight and screamed every time I stood up! Here I am before hand – clean and excited!… Continue reading Notorious night race
