Comments: Caught the man ahead for 30s on the second length, speed dropped a little on the 3rd ![]() Transition 1
Comments: Put shoes on in transition, no probelms with this transition ![]() Bike
Comments: Felt good for the first 10km, caught a few people and felt strong. Had a bit of a lull at the 10km mark which I wasn't happy with, but picked it up for the inbound section. Unfortunately there was a headwind for the inbound bit which knocked my pace a bit. What would you do differently?: Remember to take a gel on the bike ![]() Transition 2
Comments: Yet again I lost a shoe getting off the bike - this NEVER happens to me in training, and ALWAYS happens to me in the raec. Kindmarshalls rescued it for me though. And AGAIN I got the insole of my trainers crunched up. Decided I couldn't wait to sort it out and ran with it. Didn't seem so slow me down, just annoyed me. What would you do differently?: Glue the insole of my trainers in and glue my bike shoes to the pedals (not that this slowed me down, it's just going to get expensive one day) ![]() Run
Comments: I'm sure the course is shourt - I didn't feel like I was going particularly fast, but a good pace, yet I've taken 2mins of my 5km PB. ![]() Post race
What limited your ability to perform faster: Running speed, even though it was a PB, still far too far down the pack given my performance on the bike (and to a lesser extent swim) Event comments: Entry and exit from transition was a bit complicated - you had to walk in on the bike course.
