Bournemouth International Triathlon - TriathlonOlympic

Didn't feel like a good swim, but hit my target out of the water.

Includes the run across the beach, and quite a convoluted run into transition. DIdn't think it was a praticularly bad transition, but I've certainly done faster

Start was up a hill, so I didn't bother trying to clip in quickly, just took it steady.

Didn't feel like I was pushing very hard for most of it, pace slightly under what I'm capable of, but a good bike section

Slippery downhill dismount, so I didn't try to go flying in. GOt off the bike quickly enough, missed my rack in transition and nearly knocked out another races backing up - it only cost me 1-2s though.

Felt pretty good heading out, didn't have the normal hip flexor pain, but the wrongly placed markers just completely screw your race. I don't expect them to be accurate to the nearest metre, but they were literally miles out.

Given the price, there are 800 competitors and no loos, the bike course involves fighting with the tourtist traffic coming into the town, and there are very few marshals, and the run course is wrong, very dissapointed with the race, but then again, it's Concept Sport, so I shouldn't really be surprised.

Definitely will not do this race again.
