Swim
Comments: Time includes transition. There are no split times, but I recorded my run time. What a nightmare. Caught amongst weeds, couldn't get a proper stroke because hands were getting caught up in the plants. Caused me to panic and lose my breathing pattern. Ended up swimming most (80~85%) breast stroke. 4 people got pulled out of the swim. Sighting was good, because of swimming breast stroke. What would you do differently?: Don't know. Transition 1
Comments: Wet socks from rain, wet feet from swim, no joy :s not too dizzy, kicked hard on the last bit of swim, but still had to sit down to put on shoes. What would you do differently?: ? Run
Comments: Edited. My split times and my 5 km times weren't adding up. Have adjusted my swim and run times for now until I can scrutinise the data tomorrow. Went off too fast out of transition for the 1 st 500 m, around 3:15/km pace. Soon died, and slowed down. Quads were feeling heavy from 10 km race Sunday and a further 50 km of running since then. Stuck with a group of 2 for 1 st lap but got left part way into the 2 nd. I was then left on my own with no one on my back. Still pushed myself to the point where I almost lost my lunch in the last 600 meters Disclaimer. Although my garmin has recorded this run as 4.87 km, I'm taking it as a 5 km as it was the same course as we did last month. I think it's because there is a little out and back bit attached to each loop and the garmin is not picking up the last part of the switch back. I was informed that the run had been measured out when I questioned the distance. New 5 km tri and PB. What would you do differently?: Nothing, I'm happy with it. Post race
Warm down: Cup of coffee and a biatch session about the swim What limited your ability to perform faster: Triffids. Panic attacks. Last updated: 2013-06-05 12:00 AM

Hung around in the pissing down rain, dreading getting in the lake.
Rubbed my hands together, twice.
