Denise's first standard-distance Triathlon

Picture of my stopwatch, showing Denise's finishing time for her first ever standard-distance triathlon - all of the others so far have been Sprint Distance. In the Standard, the swim is 1500 M, the cycle is 40 km, and the run is 10 km: so each distance is twice what she's used to doing!

At the end, she didn't seem, to me, to be much more shattered than after her normal sprint events; and her time was within what she'd said beforehand that she'd be satisfied with.

I'm hugely proud of te way she stepped up to the greater distances; and she was justifiably pleased with herself and looking forward to the next one.
