As the weeks under lockdown have progressed, Rach, like most of us, has begun to get restless and, inspired by some of the great lockdown challenges that we've been following, (and now that the pool has warmed up), she's set herself the challenge of completing her first ever triathlon... Of course, it's going to take place here at
Allons y Pyrenees, and of course it's not a full distance triathlon, just an entry level supersprint, but even so, it's a pretty big challenge nonetheless.
The plan is to complete the triathlon on May 10th, the day before the first easing of lockdown here in France, and this is how it will work:
34 lengths of the pool will be followed by a 10km ride on the turbo, set up in the garden. Finally, Rach will complete 20 laps of the grounds at a fast walk or jog - those of you that know her well will know there's not a chance she'll be 'sprinting'!
She's aiming for sub 1 hour and we'll put photos and videos out on
Facebook throughout the challenge and afterwards to keep you entertained. If you've completed any crazy lockdown challenges, let us know, or better still, if you have a challenge for Chris to undertake, then send over your ideas...
