Sharjah Triathlon

The second edition of the Sharjah triathlon, hosted by Endurance Sports Services rounded off a very enjoyable season of triathlon racing in the UAE. 

This was the last chance to gain points in the UAE league or have a hit out before South Africa or Valencia 70.3s.

Given the recent warm weather it was not surprising that this was called a non-wetsuit swim. The lagoon was pancake flat and a really comfortable temperature even if we did have to share it with a few jellies (of the non stinging variety). 

The bike course is slightly more technical than some of the other local events with four U turns per lap and some sharp turns but perfectly safe being on closed roads.

A very enjoyable run course along the canal with a fair amount of shade as the temperatures rose  during the morning. 

A nice addition to the event season.
