• Comments: When I added up my expected times for this race, I thought it would take between 2:45 and 3:00...in the back of my mind I thought if I can hit 2:30 i would be very happy. I hit 2:30, and overall I am very happy with that. Disapointed with the run, but extatic that I swam a 1,500m, even more pleased that I did it in 27min, that for me is a great base to build on over the next few months for the HIM.

• Comments: For some reason I found today's race really really hard, my heart was pounding the whole way and although I really pushed myself as hard as possible, I still came second last out of 153 people. I really am a slow triathlete which is very demoralising, especially as I have been training hard with Wellbeings for the month. Its not for lack of trying, but I guess I just need to focus more on the positives which is the fact that I do triathlons in the first place and am much much healthier for it. I went to donate blood the other day and my blood pressure was 107/69 which is AMAZING. It always used to be 130/80. So all this exercise is really good for me, even if I'll probably never come first :)
