I did it!! Sub 6 at the Cardiff 70.3 Triathlon

Описание: I did it – I went sub 6!!

Today I completed the @aahevents Cardiff 70.3 Triathlon with a total time of 05:41:02 ⏱️ and my fastest ever 90km bike split at 02:42:39. I gave absolutely everything to achieve that time.

As I’m currently training for the DECA Triathlon, my focus has been more on building endurance and less on speed or threshold training. But one area I have been working hard on is my mental health – building confidence, self-belief, and resilience. To take on something like a DECA, your mind needs to be rock solid, and I’m proud to say mine is stronger than ever.

@ironman_uk 70.3 Bolton, today’s Cardiff 70.3, and the upcoming Swansea 70.3 have all been (and will be) incredible training opportunities where I’m pushing myself as far as I can.

Today was brutal – wind, rain, and high humidity made it a real challenge. The bike course got tougher as it got busier, but I stayed consistent. On the run, I held pace for three laps, then the humidity spiked. I slowed slightly, but refused to walk. I didn’t know my overall time, so hearing “05:41” at the finish line was unforgettable.

Huge thanks to @pppcardiff & the @aahevents team, volunteers, officials, supporters – and my amazing friends and family!

Grateful for you all 🙏🏼
