Comments:

Kept a good pace for me, not too fast. Easy to keep cool with the temperature at only about 8C and 30-40 km/h winds.
What would you do differently?:

Run went smoothly, did fine for my level of training.

Comments:

Bike course went well. Managed the first few hills quite well. The heavy, gusty winds became more of a problem as I got closer to the turn around.
Ride back was fantastic, well worth the hard slog to get to the turn around. Cruised at between 30-45 km/h and up to 60km/h on the downhill pitches. Toes where quite numb by the end.
What would you do differently?:

Keep in my tuck more. Need to get properly fitted to the bike and the areo bars.
Transition 2
  • 02m 12s
Comments:

Had a bit of trouble locating my spot on the racks
What would you do differently?:

Get a better idea of where I am in the transition area so that I can find it quicker.

Comments:

Legs were much more tired, did a lot of walking. Tried to keep a bit for the kick at the end. Right achilies tendon started to act up.
What would you do differently?:

Train more before the race.
Post race
Warm down:

Walking around the indoor complex. Got my food, and tried some of the free sample juices.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Not enough training.

Event comments:

Fairly well organized, all in all an enjoyable day. The weather wasn't great but it just makes it feel like more of an acomplishment.
I had a goal of completing in under 2 hours and I did that with lots of time to spare.
