00:00Alright Will, congratulations mate, first to cross the line in the Foreshore Triathlon.
00:04How does it feel?
00:05Yeah, pretty good.
00:06It's definitely hard out there.
00:07The other dude, he was running me down so I had to kind of keep going, my legs are paying
00:13for it now.
00:14What are the conditions out there, it feels pretty windy.
00:17Yeah, really windy.
00:18The course suited me, it's not a road bike so it's more technical and windy, yeah.
00:24The swim was pretty rough as well.
00:26And you've had a pretty busy weekend, what were you up to yesterday?
00:29Ah yeah, I had the fork anvil yesterday, average like about 46km an hour, ended up
00:356th out of the scratch bunch coming through.
00:39Yeah, wasn't too bad.
00:41First 25 under male South West rider.
00:46Yeah.
00:47And what made you back out today and do this?
00:49Um, that's a good question.
00:52It must have been, were you feeling it in the legs out there?
00:55Yeah, especially on the run, I was starting to get a bit sore.
01:00Yeah.
01:01And were you always planning on doing this or was it a last minute decision?
01:04I was always planning on it but I was kind of regretting the thought last night when
01:08I had to get up at 6.
01:10Yeah.
01:11And a triathlon is something you've been doing for a while or?
01:14Um, yeah, a couple of years.
01:17Just doing the local ones, yeah.
01:19And what's coming up for you, you got some races coming up in the cycling world?
01:23Yeah, got my next big race to be Bright in about 8 weeks, it's one of the junior tours.
01:30Looking forward to that?
01:31Yeah, should be good.
01:32Sounds good, well good luck for that.
01:34Yeah, cheers.
