go harder

managed to ping shoe out of pedal when my foot came out of the shoe, so I ended up riding along with a shoe in one hand and got a cramp in my calf trying to keep my foot near the pedal without the shoe to keep it in place

not ping my shoe out of the pedal - just need more practice

Fantastic race, you must be pleased. Well done.
I can't believe you didn't have a full wetsuit on though - it was freezing in that water!

amazing bike time too considering you had your shoe in your hand!!! Overcoming adveristy - isn't that what its all about??

Thanks - only just noticed the reply to the report (not online that much these days). 

I was really pleased with my time for about an hour, but then I was already on to the next target and analysing where I could improve (stroke not good enough in the water, why wasn't I pushing 40 on the bike instead of cruising at 37, cadence in the run wasn't high enough...)

That water was astonishingly cold - I didn't get a chance to train in open water before the race, so my first open water was 5 minutes before the start thinking "Oh my god, I can't even breathe in this, let alone swim"  There is a positive though - everyone else said their feet hurt - my legs were numb from the knees down so no problems with my feet!!

Just saw your race report - well done (and you remembered your chip at Windsor!!)  Good luck for London
