Pre-race routine:

Stormed the night before, there was not much we could do.

Swim cancelled due to poor water quality, 500m beach sprint instead. Was disappointed, I am a sucky runner at the best of times.
Event warmup:

Just sand walking. I had cracked it by then.
Swim
  • 05m 31s
  • 200 meters
  • 02m 46s / 100 meters
Comments:

This is where I strained my ITB. Poor form.
What would you do differently?:

Need to practise sand running. It's sucky right now.
Transition 1
  • 01m 51s
Comments:

Was already dressed, so just took off cap and put socks and bike shoes on.
Need to learn to run barefoot with shoes attached.
What would you do differently?:

See above.
Bike
  • 18m 24s
  • 8 kms
  • 26.09 km/hr
Comments:

I had a lot of catching up to do from the beach run.
I overtook a lot of people on the bike.

What would you do differently?:

Go harder, and not think that just cos I am overtaking people that it's good.
I needed to make up more time than that!!
Transition 2
  • 01m 55s
Comments:

Still wearing socks.
What would you do differently?:

Need to learn to unvelcro shoes and run barefoot.
Run
  • 15m 32s
  • 2 kms
  • 07m 46s  min/km
Comments:

Dead last in the run. Even though I think I ran at least half of it...
What would you do differently?:

I need to learn to control my asthma (panic related) and just turn my legs over.
Even though I reckon I was pretty fast, running over winter need to be paramount.
Post race
Warm down:

Stretches and walking.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Lack of running ability! The beach sprint stuffed me for the rest of my day.

Event comments:

Didn't like the beach run, but that's not the events fault!! Lifesaving Victoria was not allowing us to swim.
