Yesterday, after 3 years, I finally managed to repeat the same triathlon event on behalf of Prostate UK - the aptly-named Prostate UK Castle Combe Rowing Triathlon (excellently organised as usual by Will Whitmore at DB Max).
So I was keen to find out if I'd improved on the previous one - if I'd turned back the clock.
It was a very near thing, as you can see. But I did it, literally, 'on the run' (NOTE: this year's run time included T2 transition from the bike)
total | 3k row | T1 | 20k cycle | T2 | 3k run | |
2007 | 1:13:29 | 11:16 | 1:35 | 43:27 | 2:01 | 15:10 |
2008 | 1:11:51 | 11:29 | 1:37 | 43:25 | ? | 15:20 (incl T2) |
Comparing the training regimes, year-on-year, I'd have to put the improvement down to last month's consumption of booze and cigars at Henley Regatta...

SDJ - as you obviously enjoy rowers triathlons why not try the Marlow RC annual tri - Rowers Revenge.

crap website but nice event!
I've done it for about 4 years and will be there again this year!

Small world! I actually registered last week (after they resolved some issues with the rego process, which was, indeed, crap). I look forward to battling it out.
I was last there in '05 on an old Trek hybrid, so the pressure's on to show some improvement. Must also remember to stop at that official stop-point, to avoid 2 min penalty...
Best,
SDJ
