  • 750 meters
  • 02m 16s / 100 meters
Comments:

What a massive wave of 123 males all slogging it out to get to the buoy first. I kept swimming into people, got kicked in the face etc etc. It took me about 250m before I was out on my own and could get into a rhythm.
What would you do differently?:

Maybe stick to the side a little more at the start.
Transition 1
  • 02m
Comments:

Well today I thought I would get my HRM on and see how it went. So took a little time getting my watch on, really wasn't in a rush, I am not a front runner so no need to get a move on.
Bike
  • 39m 45s
  • 21.7 kms
  • 32.75 km/hr
Comments:

The wind had picked up a little in the last 2 laps, not a lot but enough to knock my average down by nearly a whole 1km/hr. I was averaging 33.5 km/hr for the first 2 laps. Oh and I HATED the green zone, it seemed every lap I got stuck behind some old woman doing 20 km/hr. I was patient and polite but boy was it annoying!
What would you do differently?:

Still working on my strength in the legs.
Transition 2
  • 00m 58s
Comments:

Some people are stupid and ignorant. I came back into transition to find another bike in my spot. Fortunately somebody else was there to help me move their bloody bike out of the way. Still a good transition time considering.
What would you do differently?:

Throw their bike in the river! Just kidding...........maybe.
Run
  • 23m 35s
  • 5 kms
  • 04m 43s  min/km
Comments:

I made sure I was maintaining a 4:45 avg pace or better, having the HRM on was certainly helping.
What would you do differently?:

Currently doing some speed work in my training so it will pick in time but my focus is on Busso.
Post race
What limited your ability to perform faster:

Slow and stupid people. Otherwise I am happy with my performance as this is only like a 'C' race, something to do at the end of a recovery week.

Event comments:

A good venue but planning on sticking to OD and long course next season so won't be back for a few years.
