 The slowest triathlon ever - Good Friday (Morning) in Vietnam

So looking at my Garmin I managed a run, cycle, swim, cycle today - I think you can just about call that a triathlon, or maybe not!


I was up at 6:30am and joined one of our Exodus group (Kev) for a morning run. Even at 6:30am the city was pretty busy (lots of motorbikes) and the temperature was 25-30 degrees. We managed 6km at a relatively easy pace in the heat and traffic.

After breakfast our tour itinerary listed a cycle to the beach - my kind of activity. Unfortunately the single speed bikes (with baskets on the front) had seen better days, however it was great to spin the legs. It was a very slow ride (26 of us - all abilities) to the beach, although we clocked 9km (in 41 mins). Next it was the sea swim, well really 20 mins jumping over the waves, followed by some sunbathing and then the cycle back to the hotel. A triathlon it was definitely not, although the first time I logged the three activities together for some time.

Onwards and upwards!
