Last Sunday myself and Frank competed in another sprint triathlon and managed to convince Alan to join us - the Fingal Sprint 2009 was a great success despite the weather and a phantom puncture.
Myself and Frank were in the same lane for the swim which was great as it gave me someone I knew to chase in the pool (he kicked my ass!).
Franks in the red cap, I'm in the white.
I managed to knock over 8 minutes off last years time and came a respectable 48th/280 with a time of 1:15:10.
I did get a phantom puncture which I only realised when putting the bike back on the car after the race - very lucky it didn't happen in the race.
Alan was so cocky during his first transition (wardrobe change) he even went for a tuna-melt bagel (I'm not too sure I believe this but it's the only way to explain the three and a half minute transition 
)
Till next year..
Thanks to Frank's wife Nicola for the photos
