Swim
Comments: I got stung three times during the swim. the Ocean was perfect temp and perfect conditions really. But I stressed out because of the stings, one was a blue bottle jelly which was pretty nasty. So that put me off the swim. I still managed to catch up and pass a few people from the wave in front of me though. What would you do differently?: Avoid the jelly's (hmm that might take some doing though) Transition 1
Comments: I struggled getting my shoes on. and coudln't decide if I needed my sunglasses or not. What would you do differently?: Not think about whether to wear sunnies just put them on regardless. I can always take them off and put them in my shirt pocket Bike
Comments: I didn't enjoy the bike leg. it was quite hard. with some tight turns. The road was really wet from the earlier rain. I have no experience with wet roads so I was pretty cautious which meant I went pretty slowly. Transition times were part of the Bike time What would you do differently?: go faster (more training) Transition 2
Comments: My legs and feet didn't want to work when I got off the bike. but the transition was pretty good apart from that What would you do differently?: Nothing Run
Comments: I've got problems with my feet and shins which are being sorted at them oment with my phsyio. So I knew the run was going to hurt my legs. I really wasn't very fast at all. But I did feel ok the second half of the run. What would you do differently?: More running training and get my feet sorted out. Post race
Warm down: Lots of water and I jumped back in the ocean for a quick cool down swim. What limited your ability to perform faster: My feet and legs meant I couldn't run fast at all. As this was my second tri I know I just need to keep training and keep going and I'll get faster! Event comments: I'm pretty happy with my second race! Last updated: 2005-03-24 12:00 AM

It was pouring with rain all night so I didn't sleep very well. It was still raining at 5am when I woke up and I thought seriuosly about rolling back over and going back to sleep :)
It stopped raining when I was about to get out of my car at the beach.
I did a little run and a stretch
