Comments:

Being only a 300 m swim, I thought I could go all out from the start but got out of breath quick quickly so I calmed down a bit and focused on my breathing and technique and it went really well

Start slower and increase

Comments:

I had reckonned I could do the 16k in 30 minutes so was disappointed when I didn’t but I miscalculated and at 30k/h, which is my top race speed, it would have taken 32minutes. So not too bad, considering it was quite a tough course.

What would you do differently?:

Bike focus training this winter

Slower than it should be

Comments:

Only 3k so I just gave it almost all on the first half and all and more on the way back, as I had a strong runner behind me (who ran it over 2min faster than me).
What would you do differently?:

Nothing
Post race
