Swim
  • 17m 40s
  • 750 meters
  • 02m 22s / 100 meters
Comments:

swim is normally strongest leg, tried to get out early and ahead, no rythym, no breathing, had to swim with head up, heart rate jump to immediate, to go out quick have heart rate and breathing up
What would you do differently?:

start slower and build, find rythym, no panic
Transition 1

Comments:

stopped to do up helmet, long long run uphill, even longer than before
What would you do differently?:

do helmet strap up right away

Comments:

great ride, close to 30km/hr, above midpoint of race overall, pleased as not normally higher ranked than swim, gatorade instead of water in bottle
What would you do differently?:

not much, a little push
Transition 2
  • 01m 59s
Comments:

average transition
Run
  • 26m 26s
  • 5 kms
  • 05m 17s  min/km
Comments:

no cramps this year, seems to be nutrition related, gatorade instead of water during bike may help, felt good at start, no rests at watering stations, not much left at the end
What would you do differently?:

need to keep working on foot speed as overall stamina is there, aim for sub 5 k's
Post race
Warm down:

adequate, had a quick dip

What limited your ability to perform faster:

bonked on swim for the first time

Event comments:

well organized third year in a row to start season, may need a change of scenery next year, depends on future swims,
