First proper transition where I used rubber bands and ran onto the bike. Last tri I stopped in T1 and put shoes on before mounting the bike.

Buy better rubber bands, one snapped in transition!

First hit out on the TT bike and what a difference. Was super comfortable however my seat post dropped an inch on the 2nd last lap as i went over a bump. Didnt affect me too much as i beat my last years bike time by 4 mins.
Tailwind saw me doing 48km/h on the first straight.
Headwind brought that back down to 30 km/h on the back straight.
What would you do differently?:

Tighten seatpost more, and convince the missus that spending $$ on a decent wheelset is good.

Was happy with the T2 performance.

Training on Hills for a Flat Race

Most of the races are flat here, but I live in the area where I could do hilly rides with 1500-2000m of climbing. Is there much benefit with that if I am racing flat?

After I left the running store, I couldn't stop thinking about the sprint tri and how much of a challenge it would be for me. So instead of joining a gym, I started riding my bike and it felt great.

I struggled on the bike while climbing the hill portions of the course. I do fine on long straight rides but really have a tough time while hill climbing. Any advice or training tips?

Can't run outside in the snow? Think again. I flew up the first hill with surprising ease and power. The Yaktrax gripped into the ice like racing spikes on a rubber track. Sweeeeet.

The 112/4 Race Rehearsal Brick. If done correctly, the RR is usually no more stressful than a regular training ride, and that is probably the point.
