Tried to concentrate more on technique rather than worrying about speed and where everyone else was. It seemed to pay off. Perfect swimming conditions helped as well.

Felt alright on the run. Best run time for the 5km so far. Still get passed by too many people Big winter of running ahead

Walk around, drink lots, then drive home

Running off the bike is still my weak point. Could do with some improvement on the swim too.

Just need some portable toilets, the permanent ones are appalling by 8am.
