Queensland Sprint Triathlon 2014 - Triathlon

Felt like it took a lot longer than it should have. I felt reasonably strong, just didn't seem to be getting anywhere. Had trouble sighting int the rising sun, especially once the goggles fogged up, and was disillusionedwith the later waves swimming over me

better than Bribie; managed to find my bike and get out fairly well.

Felt fairly good but I think I pushed too hard for my level of fitness at the start, felt pretty flat towards the end. Drank maybe half a bottle of gatorade (with extra salt)

For the conditions and how I felt, pretty well just this

not too bad

Felt bloody awful. Couldn't get any sort of rhythm going, had to take frequent walk breaks. My legs, my core, my mind just were not co-operating, not helped by knowing I was almost the last one out on the course and everyone else was home having coffee. Waaa!

This race felt so different to the sprint at Bribie a month ago, then I felt strong and like I could keep going. This time, despite pushing less, having a lower HR and slower times, i felt like crap. I think the main limiter was the lack of muscular endurance after the bike. I haven't been training at intensity, or as often, this month and by god it shows.
Oh well- there's one for experience, and move on!


Well-run race on a (for everyone else) fast course. Just not me this time round.
