  • Plenty of drink stations?Yes

  • Overall course based on my ability: Just right

  • Comments: Despite the crazy weather and waves, I had a good race. Once I was out of the water, I just felt right again. I had fun 'competing' on the bike leg with the other Athenas and loved overtaking them on the run. Need to find a way to go faster though. 3min between first place and me.

  • Comments: The overall race organisation was excellent. SuperSprint were on the ball in terms of contingency plans and what not, so I was pretty impressed. I had a really good race and was suitably stuffed afterward. I still want to improve my speed on the bike though. The aerobars helped heaps and maybe a new set of wheels in the distant future are on the cards, but we're talking distant right now. Changing workplaces in 2012 is going to help because there are a couple of colleagues who want to train together, and there are better facilities there (running track!) so I think I can do some interval work to help out the running. Anyway, I had a good day and I'm looking forward to a swim at Brighton in Jan!

  • Comments: Awesome organisation, and the vollies on the drink stations were great! Will definitely do more of these sprint races again, if they fit in with the Busso training!

  • Comments: As usual the race was well organised. I could certainly go without the women on the back of the motorbike yelling at competitors and there should have been more drink stations out on the run.
