Comments: Water was quite busy. Racers were set off in three waves of about 200. There was some close contact but not too bad. Did do quite a bit of drafting. What would you do differently?: Perhaps use my legs a little more. I hardly kicked with me legs. Transition 1
Comments: It was quite a long run before you could mount and it was over dirt so you had to get your shoes on in T1. Bike
Comments: It was a very busy bike race which forced you to do a lot of overtaking and fighting for position. Also I got screamed at by the bike for not looking back before overtaking. Was worried I may have got a DQ! What would you do differently?: Push the bike a little harder. Transition 2
Comments: Last year I did T2 in 59 secs so a little longer this time. What would you do differently?: Get helmet off quicker. Run
Comments: Tried my best and did the run 1 second slower than last year! I really need to work on my run times as the run is now my slowest discipline. Post race
Warm down: A few stretches What limited your ability to perform faster: Running ability. Event comments: I did this race last year. I think there were probably 400 then. This year 700 was too many, the bike course was far too busy. Last updated: 2009-07-12 12:00 AM
