I started well and did so for the first 1100m, coming back was hard. There was a bit of a current and it wasn't in our favour coming back.

I just need to swim more, which I have been doing lately, keep it up and hopefully some results will pay off soon.

I don't know what I looked like but I know my face was covered in crap!
That river is really bad to swim in!

I beat half the field, I wish I could race as well as my transitions.

At least it was a consistent ride, which was my goal. The distance does not bother me and I held a reasonable speed. I am happy, I sat on 35/40 heading out and was still being passed by PACKS of riders. I thought drafting was illegal? Only if you get caught I guess. I did see quite a few of them in the penalty box, so that's good.

I am doing ok, I am where I want to be 7 weeks out from Busselton.

I did stuff around too! I was trying to put my goggles and cap closer to my bike, why? I really don't know, wasted a few seconds here, not that it matters.

Not worry about silly stuff like my goggles, its not like I need them to run!

I got blisters and I got them BAD! On the ends of my toes and on the arches of my feet! I either need to replace my shoes or maybe wear socks.

I haven't done a lot of run training but it is something that I am focusing on. I normally run 9km at 4.3 min/km off the bike in training (with a 1km hill) so I know its not the distance, just the feet.

I was on target for my 2:35.00 until the run and even had I run a 45.00 for 10km I would have only made up 6 places.


I think I can race this distance fine, I felt good, I maybe need to train more, but doesn't everyone?
I didn't do well this year but the last Olympic Distance event I did was Bunbury 07 in 3:08.31 with no training.
So to take 23 mins off that is good for me!
