  • Comments: My main goal heading into this race was under 3 hours, with a stretch goal of 2:50, so given the long swim and extra long T1 I'm happy. The swim could have gone better, but the bike was good, and the run was what I expected. I can now push on with HIM training for Busso, but will probably try and do one more of the sprint races in the next month or 2 to keep motivated. Compared to last year, I'm in the shape of my life, ready to target the HIM! Onwards!!!!!

  • Comments: Actually finishing might have helped. But seriously, lesson learned. Carry a spare tube, and co2 cartridges, even though I was told not to bother for a race this size. I will from now on. This was my goal race for the season, so it was extremely disappointing. I think I threw my bike, my shoes, and cried for about 20 minutes. And even told someone to "go fuck themselves". Which they totally deserved btw. There is another OD in Geelong on the 20th of Feb. If I am going to do Shepp this year, I need to finish an OD first. So I have a month and 9 days to get ready now. Hopefully I can smash that one!
