The swim was really crowded. Took a very long time to get clear from the pack. I was happy that I was able to keep up with the others.

Try some defogger on my goggles.

Comments:

I should not have bike the day before as my legs left REALLY heavy today during this segment. I didn't think I need to take the day off as this was such a small race for me and that I was just counting it as a training day. But trying to go all out was really hard.

What would you do differently?:

Take the day before off from training.

Comments:

I forgot to put my music out so I had to spend some extra time digging into my back pack. Thank god I had that bandanna on - my face stayed nice and dry and the sweat out of my eyes!
What would you do differently?:

Put socks on faster. Not bother taking a gel with me as I had one diluted with water anyway.

I love the colour of my new bike as it was SOOO easy to find on the rack. A big thanks goes out to A-bikes for doing some repairs to by bike making it a very confident ride.
