Mostly harmless Jun 15, 2024

It's The Weekend when I get a house full of family guests, mostly from the UK. Tomorrow is the #aaseetriathlon and the weather forecast is pretty grim. I am still hoping I can swim 500m in open water which is bound to be cold.
Like the rest of my crazy family I'm doing the sprint, which, in #Bocholt, is 500m swim, 20km #bike and 5k #running.

Their journey through the Netherlands was slowed by volumes of #euro2024 fan traffic.

1) I survived the #aaseetriathlon in #Bocholt 💪 . We all did quite well, except for my sister-in-law who got rammed by another cyclist who wasn't looking where he was going & she ended up in hospital with scrapes and bruises.
Actually I was very pleased.15 mins for the swim (felt like I swallowed gallons of water) - & the water wasn't too cold, 38 mins for the #bike ride and 28 mins for the #running Of course it rained, but tbh I didn't care 😃.
Came first in my age class 🏆

2) And the icing on the cake was the 1:0 victory over Serbia in the #Euro2024 .

Now all the guests have gone home and the house is quite peaceful and very empty.
