| Top Swim action in the Mid Sussex Triathlon 2018 |
An excellent weekend full of action, adventure, challenges and not a lot of sleep (if you were doing an overnight shift, or like my kids, getting woken up for work at 5:45am on a Sunday). Interestingly - everything we did this weekend can be downloaded for free from the various methods - either Pic2Go for the live events (a simply wonderful service for Events and sponsors that helps participants share their achievements), or from the gallery for post-event free downloads. On the flip side - it's been strangely peaceful in the office for a tuesday morning as everything was done Sunday - Monday was just sorting out the various backups and uploads associated with that.
So without further ado - here's this weeks table of events, and then some action pics:
Mid Sussex Tri 2018
Perfect weather, fantastic Club event put on with passion and organisational skills and a cheeky smile and a wave. Entries lower than last year - no real reason why as this event gets better and better each year - don't miss out next year...
Because of the unique pool swim arrangement it means we can organise ourselves to get pictures of everyone on their way through - and because of the good arm numbering - we can pretty much work out who everyone is (when combined with the start number data)...so enjoy the unusual images from the swimming...

| Lots of lengths up and down the pool |
 |
| Top speed swimming for swimmer 101 |
 |
| Job done and off for a bike ride |
 |
| Pushing it on the bike, so getting the air in is important |
 |
| The joy of a finish - where they look up your race number and cheer you in by name !!! |
Macmillan Mighty Hike - Thames Path
A nice walk from Windsor to Henley, along a very picturesque bit of the Thames ! A marathon long walk - which is a major challenge especially in the heat ! You can still enter future Mighty Hike events - just go here to see some glorious scenery :

So, have a good weeks training - don't get too hot and see you at the weekend (for which I'm missing my brothers 50th birthday party for - so any suggestions of what to get him as a present will be most welcomed - ideas to
info@sussexsportphotography.com with the subject "50th present". Free high res collection to the best idea I end up getting him.
Until next time
