Overall Rank = DFL/
Age Group = women
Age Group Rank = 8/8
Pre-race routine:

Office annual golf tournament on the Friday morning (which I won) and far too much food and beer (non alcoholic) in the evening.
, had breakfast even though I was still full from last night. Back on site at 9am

Did this in 2h50 something last year. I knew I would be nowhere near a result like that this year.
Goal was to beat 2021, my first oly (3:06:15)
Stretch goal: under 3 hours
But main goal was to finish and enjoy it.
Event warmup:

Proper warm up like last time, jog, stretch, swim
Swim
  • 35m
  • 1583 meters
  • 02m 13s / 100 meters
Comments:

A nice swim, took my time (because I still only have one speed anyway) and enjoyed looking at the nice blue sky everytime I took a breath. Found several feet to draft behind.

A little surprised at the time, I thought I was faster due to drafting but I zig-zagged for 85m so I guess that's why...


Transition 1
  • 01m 18s
Comments:

A nice and smooth T1 the way I like them, perfectly executed


Bike
  • 1h 26m 50s
  • 40.5 kms
  • 27.98 km/hr
Comments:

Tried to enjoy the ride too, which I did. I have more than one speed at this disciplin, contrary to the swim but I chose not to push, wanted to do “well” (relatively well) on the run.

Still, better than my goal time, can’t ask for more
Transition 2
  • 01m 15s
Comments:

Nothing to report, a good T2
Run
  • 1h 00m 48s
  • 10 kms
  • 06m 05s  min/km
Comments:

Been struggling with the run all season so goal was under one hour and enjoy.

I did enjoy it, but fell short on time. Not by much and an improvement over 2021 so I’ll take that as a win
Post race
Warm down:

A quick massage (calves) which felt great. Achilles is almost good now.

Was really really tired after, headache, nausea, like never before. Had a nap in the afternoon and to bed early. Felt great the next day .





What limited your ability to perform faster:

Same answer as all season, slightly overweight, injury issues. This season hasn’t gone well. Roll on 2025!

Event comments:

Great little race. Still struggling to get many participants but it looks like they’ve decided to keep going.
