Swim
Comments: I seem to always struggle on the swim.. this time I stayed well away from the pack and ending up drifting off course. What would you do differently?: Drafted!! Transition 1
Comments: struggled to get my feet into my shoes whilst on the bike. What would you do differently?: I really need to improve in getting my shoes on whilst riding Bike
Comments: felt great on the bike. Passed quite a few - never got passed by anyone. Felt like I wad a lot quicker than the time suggest but I think it included my T1 time. What would you do differently?: Nothing - Bike was great - maybe I should have put Gatorade in my handlebar fluid mount - lacked energy on the run. Transition 2
Comments: Lost where my bike had to go so double backed. Put my shoes and hat on and was off. What would you do differently?: not a lot - it was very cramped in transition so it was hard to find where you bike had to go. Run
Comments: This time is wrong - i was a lot slower than it says. I had no energy at all! I struggled keeping a 5m/km pace. Just didnt have the legs - did I over train??? Did I pay the price for the long run and cycle last week. Back to the drawing board :) What would you do differently?: Nothing - I gave it my all - just didnt have the legs in me. Post race
Warm down: None What limited your ability to perform faster: I dont know??? I was really tired after the swim but felt great on the bike but struggled with my normal pace on the run. During training I am running 5km pace at 4.08 yet today I couldnt run 4.48/km ! Swim has improved but not good enough. Transition should have been quicker after the swim and the stuff up with my shoes didnt help. I think I am going to take a couple of weeks off training and let my body recover and start again in the new year. Event comments: Next year I will be back and better prepared .... I will smash 1.10 :) Last updated: 2009-12-12 12:00 AM
