Perranporth is one of those races that people always talk about, a few years back when conditions were rough half the field got pulled out of the Surf. This year it wasn’t too bad but the hills on the bike and the run along the beach and over the cliff top made the race more of an xterra than a traditional Triathlon. I wanted a shapener before next weekends race in Betton and the race was sponsored by Snugg Wetsuits, so I made the hour and a half drive from Tavi to Perran on race morning to see if I could sneak an entry on the line. Luckily there had been a few drop outs so I got a slot. I had a reasonably comfortable win and the post race hog roast and live band explained why this race is a previous winner of the “best small race award” it definatly gets my vote.
