 Swim
What would you do differently?: Start closer to the front to try adn avoid the kaos out the back.  Transition 1
Comments: got shoes on prior to mounting bike due to cycle shoes not triathlon shoes but was easy to run in and quick to get going also.  Bike
What would you do differently?: Take course a bit easier to get a good start to the run. Transition 2
What would you do differently?: make sure i don't have to go to toilet as that cost a lot of time, although i was in the first wave so no queues but showed i had too much to drink.  Run
Comments: Had a real bad time on the run and reflected in athe abismal time produced. Felt okay at the start and had a good pace for first 20' then guts started to play up, not enough real food too much carbs so tried just drinking water and was better but ran out of gas a bit and had to slow, tried having more carb shots and drinking water but straight away guts would react and had real urge to go to the toilet so had to drink heaps of water and it wasn't fun, the last 40' dug deep and got home under 5hrs but was a struggle and really disapointed in final run should of been about 1 35' to 1 40' which is 4.5'/km to 5'/km which is what i should be doing. learn from this for IM in March. What would you do differently?: Eat real food and ensure have some water on bike not just powerade, need to flush that guts and get the food to work, protein drink on bike would be a good idea, may get an earo drink bottle to have water with protein and powerade in additional bottles and then can pick up more water from aid stations and take carb shots for gluclose. Post race
Warm down: straight to toilet and then to aid station for water, drinks food etc and stretch. What limited your ability to perform faster: Food and training, can't all be nutrition, training wasn't specific enough and went too hard on cycle to make run harder. Last updated: 2006-08-29 12:00 AM

Got up early and had a big muesli breakfast with powerade and 2 eggs without bread. Got gear packed into bax that had ready night before, put on sunscreen and ensured had all my goodies packed into the box including powerade and leppins from fridge so at least cold to start the day with.
No warm up, walked to transisiton area and got gear ready, walked to beach walked over to start line in the water and got ready for the start.
