This meant, much to the dislike of my fellow competitors, me slamming on the breaks round on every corner. The run element was short and sweet, 3km of climb and then downhill which gave me enough time to catch my breath before crossing the finish line in a sprint.

My disappointment however was soon forgotten as all competitors were automatically entered into a free tom-bola with decathlon sporting paraphernalia up for grabs - I came away with a shiny new bike lock!! I would certainly recommend this triathlon to anyone planning a trip to the south of France in September, if not for the freebies then definitely for the beautiful scenery, great weather and atmosphere.
