Gatorade Triathlon - Race 5 - TriathlonSprint

Basically, the uber calmness of Elwood was the total opposite to last time and this contributed to a super quick swim for me. Garmin in swim cap was excellent. I have found a way to secure it to my pony tail and keep it the right way up so I hit the correct buttons.

Absolutely nothing. It was perfect. Loved it.

Okay, so I put my shoes and helmet on at the same time after the wettie was off. I use the time when getting my wettie off as a breather. I am excited that it was under the 3 minutes considering how far I had to run to get to my bike - I was in the last possible row, LOL.

I don't know. Honestly, it went really smooth.

I felt like I flew along and seeing my average speed, I see that I really kinda did (for me). I enjoyed this ride. I felt like I took the U-turns very smoothly and accelerated out of them really well.Used my gears most effectively.

Again, not sure. I just wish I knew how to get my speed up even higher. I did ride hard though, gave my legs a bit of a schlacking. Maybe too much.

Quick. In & out. No real fuss.

Not much. Honestly, if I'm going to get quicker in these races, it won't be in the transitions!

First 2k's were quite quick (sub 5min/km). Km 3 & 4 I struggled. It was quite warm by then. Km 5 I just ran to the finish line like there was no tomorrow, hehe.

Not ride so hard?

Walking, walking.


Not a lot really. Maybe my own fitness. I still can improve on that.


Edited - organisers fixed the initial wrong swim time, so all is well. I had a great day and an excellent race. I want to get faster, just not entirely sure how, LOL!
