Disappointing
What would you do differently?:

More training prior - I rested up for about 2 weeks before the event due to IT band

  • 01m 10s
Comments:

Right shoe caught the ground and popped out of the cleat - wasted about 15-20 seconds
What would you do differently?:

Rubber band on the heal to hold the shoes. Don't bother with the socks till T2

All the guys who passed me were pushing a much heavier gear - do I need to change my ride style?

Didn't really do much pre race riding - IT band was tight

Forgot to pull the tongues up on my shoes - lost a couple of seconds there

Post race
Warm down:

What's that then

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Pre race tension in legs stopped me training in the 2 weeks prior. Got lazy about my swimming after the swimathon

Event comments:

Very well organised, friendly and buzzing. Will try again next year
