Latrobe Valley Tri Club Winter Triathlon - Triathlon

as always I coulda gone harder! Second lap way quicker than first once i felt more comfortable. Need to get the confidence to start with the pack. Not to hang back for clear water. The swim is my strength need to use it.

start with the pack and draft

Well I thought about arm warmers but was so wet and cold couldn't get them on.
Wetsuit well stuck on my heels.
Stopped to talk to the race director my buddy Noel Fenn - who gave me a hug and said Jo you got this off you go up the hill.

chat less like that will happen!

Flat tire! Rear! Bugger - happend on lap two - but I dealt with it calmly. CO2 canister administered and prayed I could get the wheel back on - no drama. maybe 8-10mins.
Magpie attack - hit my helmet twice, just went faster next leap to avoid it and yelled like a banshee.

Nothing, without the flat my pace was nearer 27kmh. The cross winds were scary - I just held on.

easy, i was last.

not be last.

that hill was a biatch. I went back to my 2mins run, 1min walk. My friend came and ran the second lap with me - it was so windy by this point that our feet were getting blown from under us. We had fun!

nothing

not much - just packed up the car really.


Flat tire, lack of road experience on the bike. Nerves.


If you get the chance to do a country town local triathlon of about 100 people do it. Awesome.
