Hazelwood Triathlon - TriathlonSprint

Good swim - longest I've done yet in a race. Wasn't the last in which was good. Arms started to get sore about 300m in but I think it's still wettie fit.

Need to get better at breathing on RHS - turned a little with each breath. Didn't turn much on LHS. Also need to get in water earlier to fix wettie up.

Removed cap and goggles and left in RH arm of wettie - no need to carry! Had to take Garmin off to get wettie off - wasn't going to try then get stuck. Put shoes on before leaving as the start is uphill a bit and didn't think I'd have time to get my feet in and put the power down.

Put garmin on before wettie so I can get wettie off.

Good ride. Caught Anna up first hill. Rest of ride was alright - still hurt. Got into a good rythem just near the end of the 2nd lap.

Carbon seatpost...rough roads hurt with aluminium wheels, aluminium bike and aluminium seatpost!

Fast transition (I thought). A little sketchy trying to come around the gravel corner and get my feet out, but didn't come off. Jumped off bike, ran in, racked, got my shit sorted then ran out - felt pretty quick!

Learn to get my feet out faster. Had velcro undone on the road (a bit early too) but left feet in because of the speed bump.

Started off a little slow - trying to get into a rythem. Managed to run all the way up the hill. Smashed it on the way down and into the finish.

Push a little harder at the start - felt I could have gone a little quicker. Did a 5:50 for the first k then 6:02 or something for the second.

Walked around lots.


Fitness! Also wetsuit fit a little in the water. Rough road.


Great, friendly race. Very relaxed but also well run.
