Bribie Triathlon Series - Race 4 - TriathlonSprint

Overall a good swim. Started out hard-ish then settled to my rhythm. Wasn't really anyone around swimming my pace to draft off. I drafted at the start and closer towards the end.

I was planning on a 14:00 swim, so the current helped a fair bit.

Try to find someone to draft off the whole time.

1 bottle gatorade.

Haven't done too much cornering on my new tri-bike so I probably slowed more than I had to to make sure I didn't stack it.
In hindsight still could have pushed a little bit harder, especially on the first lap.

Still not confident enough to jump of my bike too fast. Bike was still moving when I got off.

Practice dismount.

Had pace zone alarm on for first lap keeping me in my planned Olympic race pace (4:57-5:20, so still ended up being faster). Pushed hard in the second lap, RPE 10/10 for last 1km.
Weather not too hot so didn't need to drink much. 1 cup at first 2 aid stations, nil at 2nd two.

Training. The fact that this was a C race and not a target and did not taper.


Race late again.
Short course (300/10/3) was around 5-10mins late.
Long course (750/20/5) was nearly 30 minutes late. It appeared there was still organizing being done right up to the last second. Too much leniency is given to late comers arriving as/after transition closes delaying the start.
