Pre-race routine:

Same as usual - porridge, coffee, got there early and set up & registered leaving 45mons to chill out. Freezing conditions with sleet showers so waited in the car as long as possible!
Had been sick for 2 weeks previous to the race with no training at all so wasn't sure what to expect!
Event warmup:

Short run to warm up and loosen legs - knew it was going to be tougher than the 1st race as jsut ddin't have that bounce in my legs.

Comments:

happy with T1 although it was slower than 1st race? Nearly forgot to put my helmet on!!

again struggled on the bike - I really loose a load of places on this leg! I seem to be in the same gear as everyone else but just don't have the same power output. Loose time on up hill drags although shorter steeper hills I hold my own.
Transition 2
  • 01m 2s
Comments:

very slow - decided to just unclip and run to transition in bike shoes - took ages to get shoes off adn runners on. For some reason decided to tie my laces as well as lock lace system???
What would you do differently?:

Everything!!!!

Comments:

right from the run into T2 knew my legs had nothing in them - really felt like they were heavy adn took about 1.5km before I felt like they came back anyways but still not as usual.
What would you do differently?:

Not be sick the weeks before
Post race
What limited your ability to perform faster:

lack of training for the 2 weeks prior to the race and lack of speed work.
