Clare Pluckrose had a great race last Sunday at this Half Ironman distance finishing in 6 hours 21 mins and 9th in age. Swim 47 mins, bike 3 hours 15 mins, run 2 hours 3 mins. This has inspired a few Dealies to think about this race for next year!
Great Race report by Clare!!
7 Plucky Triers & 3 support crew went on a road trip to Luxembourg and completed our first IM branded event together spanning 3 countries. Amazing day and celebrations were great ????
8.30 start and the temperatures were quickly rising.
1.9k Rolling start into the river. Against the current in Luxembourg, turn, swim back in Germany & return via Lux.
Long transition to the bags, bike kit on & off on the bike.
90Km ???? – 1st 30km out & back, flat ride into France, along the river, a 180 turn & the climbing began. 40km of ups & downs through beautiful vineyards, into Shengan & finally down to the river into transition.
T2 swapping bike kit for trainers & cap and off out onto the run.
????????♀️21.1km – flatish run along the river, 3 laps. Here’s where the supporters were so great, keeping us motivated lifting spirits as the heat soared to over 34c, sapping energy. Fuel stations and hosepipes spraying us with water. Quick chat with Gordon Ramsey along the way – He’s very tall ????.
Result – 6 hrs 21mins 9th in my AG
2 weeks post COVID – I’m happy with this. This race was to complete, not to push & risk long covid – there’s plenty of adventures left to do!
