Stood on the starting line with my goggles on my head and put them on in a panic when the starting gun went. lost some time there and couldn’t get behind one of the fast ones to draft so I was on my own the whole time (except when someone who had drifted to the left cut me off to get back on track)

Still, a good time, 42 seconds faster than last year

Be ready when the starting gun goes. Well, at least I remembered to start my watch and switch to T1 when exiting the water.

Transition area about 150 from swim exit

What can I say, that’s what I do. Don’t know if I got my usual T1 podium as the official result add swim +T1
34 seconds faster than last year even though the wind had blown my helmet and sunglasses off my bike.

Practiced the U turns this week so did well, but the loss of momentum was tough.
More wind this year and some tough hills I had forgotten about
46 seconds slower

A very small transition aera
14 seconds faster

A nice steady run, slow uphill and tried to gain back some time downhill without falling flat on my face.
Nice finish after the last hill, was able to increase speed for the last km

49 seconds faster than last year


Nothing. Happy that I was able to finish strong, even knowing that my 2nd place was safe (and first place long gone).

Chatted to that beginner I spoke to before (she’ hooked), collected my prize (a cycling shirt) and drove home


Friendly village race.will be back
