Accomplished!

What an effort! #1 grandson, Alan, was up at birdsong (and so were his grandparents) to meet his triathlon team at 8am. Sadly, it was rather later than that by the time they were able to rack their bikes - the parents of half the quartet had but a vague notion of what was going on.

The swimming was a titanic effort for all four / the second length had us on our feet at the poolside as tired boys gasped their way down the second length. As far as the cycling and the running were concerned, Alan was happy. But it was s huge effort for small boys, and I was proud of them.

But by lunchtime I did feel it might be time for bed ...
