 Swim
Comments: Swim was replaced by a 2k run. It was really hot when we got underway, but i was very happy with my time, run was always going to be my strong point and the course was very flat What would you do differently?: Hopefully at some stage in the future - a swim!  Transition 1
Comments: No time recorded for this, but my transition was smooth as i was in my running gear and dont have bike shoes or clip in pedals, so pretty much just had to bang on my helmet  Bike
Comments: i actually went much faster than training, but still painfully slow compared to everyone else. my bike is a $300 road bike, no clip in pedals and i only have straight handlebars so struggle to get any power. but since i enjoyed my first tri im going to upgrade my bike this week! What would you do differently?: drink less - cos of the heat i drank all my gatorade and paid for it in the final run Transition 2
Comments: No time recorded, but all i had to do was throw off the helmet and rack my bike, it was pretty smooth  Run
Comments: Really not happy with the run. Because of all the gatorade i was getting stomach cramps for the whole run, i could barely break into a run - disaster. Lost a load of time here, but learned a very valuable lesson Post race
Warm down: just had some gatorade and fruit. no need to warm down because the light jog i did for the last 4k run was my warm down! What limited your ability to perform faster: Drank too much on the bike, and need to get a good tri bike. Event comments: Overall pretty happy with my first tri - entering bribie island sprint on march 14th so hopefully will get to swim there! Last updated: 2010-02-24 12:00 AM

This was my first tri, so didnt really know what to expect. I only learned to swim properly 1 month ago so was pretty nervous bout the swim. Woke up at 4.45, had a breakfast of cereal and fruit and hopped in the car. 1 hours drive to raby bay, got numbered and transition set up for 6.30.
My wave didnt go till 9.30, so i had three hours hanging around before the start. In that time because of a tsunami warning the swim was cancelled (wohoo!!) and replaced with a 2k run. 20 mins before my wave just did some light jogging and stretching.
