I had my camera at the ready to…

Wow so time is flying by and our first triathlon with the beginners group is creeping up fast. We’ve about seven weeks left and so it was high time I figured out how I was doing on the bike, especially seeing as I haven’t been cycling with the club yet. The club had arranged bike time trials in Phoenix Park…
