![]() Swim
Comments: Incredibly cold and hard to breath for most of the time. Felt really awful and really struggled. What would you do differently?: Nothing - persevere and try and get into my rhythm faster. ![]() Transition 1
Comments: Felt very dizzy halfway through transition and had to stop and try and regain control - couldn't have carried on feeling like that. Put socks, spd shoes on in transition and walked bike out. What would you do differently?: No socks and wear a tri suit to avoid need for changing at all. ![]() Bike
Comments: got very cold and wet - felt rough. Hard to drink on the bike as I just couldn't get any liquid into me. What would you do differently?: Increase the pace on flat & downhills. Get more aerodynamic position and focus on keeping the pace up. Get some clear/yellow lens shades for poor visibility. ![]() Transition 2
Comments: Good transition - frozen fingers made lacing shoes difficult. Words of encouragement from member of UK Duathlon team on rack next to me were a bonus. What would you do differently?: elastic laces for shoes ![]() Run
Comments: Felt good on the run throughout - probably could have increased the pace. Felt a challenge at 1km but gone after a couple of 100m. Strong fast finish with a sprint around the final lap of the sports ground and crossed the line flat-out. What would you do differently?: Increase the pace. ![]() Post race
Warm down: get gear in the car and out of ther rain asap! What limited your ability to perform faster: Unexpected and severe cold of swim - been a little slack in training for the last 4 weeks. More speed cycle and run training needed. Event comments: Good marshalling on the course - lots of organisers to ask/help etc. Not so good on organisation eg when I arrived I was told slow swimmers start first and then they changed it to fasted first! Bike racks not numbered so a bit of a scramble. Last updated: 2003-12-24 12:00 AM

lots of standing around in cold drizzle trying to keep warm.
some stretching and gentle runs - mostly because I kept forgetting kit and had to go back and get it!
