Long run from beach to T1 and then onto road, got on to bike and into shoes once I got away from the other cyclists.

Good transition. Very happy

I punished this ride and didn't get passed by many at all.
32 km/hr on this course is actually pretty good.

Nothing. My cycling is coming along quite well.

Two words. Smooth. Gone.

Real quick transition. No problems at all.
Run

Comments:

It took me 2km to get my legs properly and I got stronger as I went on but I held a consistent pace and felt happy with my performance. I could not have run any harder, I was right on the limit. I still managed to break that 5 min/km pace so a good start to the season.
What would you do differently?:

Keep up my running training.
Post race
Warm down:

No warm down today.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Its the first hit out for the season and I am happy with my performance. I pushed myself hard for the whole race.

Event comments:

A busy and technical bike leg but this isn't a bad venue.
I will always keep it in mind for a pre season race.

I only took a minute off from last race but hey with the heart problems I had during the winter and only training for 8 weeks, I'm stoked!

A PB is a PB.

Next up, Rockingham.
