Swim
Comments: This SHOULD be my strongest discpline, but a complete lack of training and bad positioning off the start didn't help. I really should and esaily have the capabilities to swim this much faster, all I need is to do some training and develop some more strength in my shoulder. I was happy with the swim in terms of positioning, I rounded the buoys perfectly, (unlike previous experiences), my exzit from the water was very good also. Transition 1
Comments: Ranked 27th out of 369 for the transition and it was the fastest transition in my age group, only thing is that I lost a few seconds trying to do up shoes on bike, I sort of rode with one very lose strap on shoe, still extremely happy!! Bike
Comments: Thought I did better to be honest, solid effort, I have trained a lot for this discpline. Might need to do some more speedwork. Transition 2
Comments: Overal 127, AG 16th, a lathagic speed, I spent an extra few second making sure everything was fine. Wasn't feeling too good so was just trying gulp some breaths down. What would you do differently?: Perhaps pushed a bit harder Run
Comments: My weakest discpline, I felt I was going much slower, this pace wasnt much slower than what I ran in a cross country event for school. I am confident I can really work on getting this time lower. MY sprint at the end said perhaps I could have gone 20 30 seconds faster but I think everyone says that. Post race
Warm down: Never felt to tired before, it was pretty tough. I had a walk, drank heaps and then went down to the water and stood in it for a bit. Event comments: Really well done race, but I havent done many (NONE) so I can't compare it to anything else. Last updated: 2009-11-08 12:00 AM

Walked around a lot, am not very good at standing still. Should have done some more stretching. Ate a protein/ energy bar and a gel before the race and did about 100 meters of swimming.
