Well I’m pretty damned chuffed with this! Today’s goal was simply to be slightly better at transitions with a handler. Having not really had a clue what I was wanting to do last time around, it taught me a few lessons that I used to make today’s transitions a bit better. I was definitely more organised with my layout and despite having a different handler, we were much more slick through transition than last time too.

#196 Getting the Covid Jab, plus Winter Duathlon #2 race report!
Being someone that is permanently disabled, my Covid risk category is the same as the elderly and I have thus been called up to get the first of 2 vaccines.

As you may (or may not) know, I’m a member of a global triathlon team called the cupcake cartel. Although the team encompasses everyone from elite to your average guy / gal.. the team chat is always done tongue in cheek with cupcakes involved somehow, either physically, metaphorically or symbolically! The team decided to do a fund raiser for the flood victims in New South Wales. Here’s how it works.
