Glorious Northumberland , mostly biking, short hilly runs, one jellyfish swim

Swam in the pool last night as had not really swam for a week. Was initially inspired by watching the fabulous bamburgh tri ( sprint only as half iron man was cancelled the next day due to bad weather) . Sprint was glorious but it involved a 500k sea swim where quite a few swimmers were just not moving forward at all due to sea currents - scary and must have been totally exhausting, then running up the sand dune whilst taking off the wet suits and getting on the bike.  I was there at the end this time sipping pumps whilst cheering on the last few in ... Gand help them, taking more than 2hours to complete and I am not flipping surprised but then again, what a fantastic setting for a tri, finishing on the glorious green in front of the majestic castle. Sorry about the number of  superlatives but then that s bamburgh for you. Was inspired to get a wet suit and on the last day dipped in the cold North Sea, swam a few metres, saw a jelly fish and ran out on to the sand...  Now't tough sbout me... Sea swimming... Could  i manage it at the a burgh sprint tri next year??? Now there is a goal....
