  • Comments: OK, so I know this race report might sound like I'm just having a whinge, but I have tried to honestly document how I was feeling at each stage of the race. I've done a lot of thinking since this race. I felt really awful on the swim and not much better on the bike, but then the run went better than expected and I finished strong. After I'd finished Sef found me and asked how I went, he said he thought I was injured because it took me so long, this comment made me burst into tears! I am not normally so emotional but I was at that point, because I was thinking I raced to the best of my ability and yet I still came last out of the whole field, whats the point??? However since this princess moment I have done more thinking. I am fit enough because I finished strong. Who cares if I'm not fast?

  • Comments: Ok now these are the official times posted. I didn't have the greatest race it was all just kind of average but it was just a training brick session really so I'm happy with it. In saying that Its still faster then the city of Perth tri I did, so I'm actually quite impressed. the cars on the road and the lack of water I got on the course were a bit disappointing. I can tell you halfway through the race I really was regretting this HIM idea. Overall for my first full OD I'm happy with it. Off to the physio to get my leg checked out. If my run time is right I'm really happy with that time considering my legs were really hurting at the start.
