Swim
  • 35m 40s
  • 1900 meters
  • 01m 53s / 100 meters
What would you do differently?:

Start on the outside of the pack
Transition 1
  • 04m 43s
Bike
  • 2h 57m 12s
  • 90 kms
  • 30.47 km/hr
What would you do differently?:

1) Make sure the computer magnets are at the right spot after the transportation to the transition zone... Now it moved and therefore had to stop to adjust it so the km/h was working...
2) Make sure the saddle etc is mounted strong enough. After one hour ride I noticed my saddle went in the tube for about 1cm... Not so smart and didn't happen to me in a very long time, so pretty shitty this happens during a race....
Transition 2
  • 03m 18s
What would you do differently?:

Put shoes underneath a bag or so, it rained heavily during the bike ride and therefore there was a layer of water standing in my shoes. Not nice to start the run with soaking wet feet....

What would you do differently?:

Nothing
Post race
What limited your ability to perform faster:

1) technical error with computer
2) technical error with saddle
3) transitions not good enough
4) swim was disaster, start on the outside next time

Event comments:

Super organized, great atmosphere, super friendly people, will definitely do it again!
