Gatorade Triathlon Series: Race 3 - Brighton - TriathlonSprint

The run into transition was hard. It was in sand for about 150m, then up hill. Pretty tough. The chop wasn't too bad, but it was hard work heading out to the first turn. After that the swim was pretty cruisy.

I need to settle into my rhythm quicker. I find it takes a while to get into that rhythm, but once im in it I swim really well.

Had a chat with Mel who was next to me in Transition while i was there. Was a bit of fun. Need to learn to get on my bike with the shoes in the pedals cause I think this would make the run to the mount line a bit quicker.

Not much.

The legs burned going up the litlte hills, but overall i felt really good. I had a gel just after the turnaround to get me through the tough part of the run. Felt fast on teh bike.

push harder.

Got stuck behind this dude who was a bit slow, and for once that annoyed me. At least i usually keep left.

Need to build confidence to get off bike more smoothly. I was smooth today but not getting off like a pro.

Did the first km in 5:10. Not sure what the rest was couldn't think that quick to be honest. For once i was passing people which made me feel awesome about myself. Don't usually pass anyone on the run.

Keep pushing harder. Love knowing I'm getting more confidence with the run part of the triathlon.

Walk around race area. Sucked in a lot of water and 2 cups of gatorade.


My mind. I am very unaware of my ability to go hard. At the end i still feel like I can do more. I want to cross the line and be aware that there is nothing else i can give.


Loved every moment of it. It was nice starting with my friends, but will be interesting to compare my time with others in my age group to see how far I have come. I took 11mins off my PB for a race sprint distance. I also did my fastest 5km run in a time of 27 mins. This is about 4:30 off my previous fastest time.
