Figure out how to ride faster on the bike.

Run

  • 5 kms
  • 04m 53s  min/km
Comments:

Running on grass is harder than expected. The first lap didn't feel well due to "full" stomach feeling. I need to figure this out. This time is too slow for me. I need to be under 24, preferably under 23:30.
What would you do differently?:

Figure out bloated stomach feeling.
Post race
What limited your ability to perform faster:

Full stomach feeling and need to burp at various times during the race. T1 was way too slow as well.

Event comments:

This is a good beginner race. Set Up needs to work on post-race food, as the "breakfast" was terrible.
