Latrobe Valley Tri Club Winter Triathlon - Triathlon

I still need to do something about my open water swimming. Good swimmer but I'm quite slow once I get into a tri.
I had trouble when I left the water though, and was dry retching from the cough and cold I've had over the last few weeks. I was a little bit better by the time I got out onto the bike though

Not a lot.

I had trouble getting into my shoes as there is a hill right out of transition.

I need to practise getting into my shoes better and doing them up. That was shit.

Good bike leg for me after last week. I like the bike. Felt good coming off onto the run too.

I need some more legs.

Dawdled a little as transition was around gravel and stuff.
Toes and hands were numb.

I ran most of the way apart from the three drink stops and the second half of the big hill.
I was a bit off kilter on the road because it was on an angle and the angle was low on my short leg side which makes things hurt a lot.
The second half of the run was dirt so was a bit bitter, but the big hill was literally a km long so struggled a little bit.

Just learn to run.

I went for a swim with Lisa.


Cold.


Local club ran the race so it was good for that.
i didn't find enough drink stations on the run, I needed a bit more water.
Good location and good race though.
