Comments:

Big wave - lots of battling for space
Kept getting on a suitable hip then being closed down by someone from the side and having to find a new one/stay on their feet.

What would you do differently?:

Get off even quicker I think - there was battling until over 1/2 way round for water space

Transition 1

Comments:

Better at getting into shoes this time. Grabbing velcro to the side worked well. Just need to keep improving balance so I don't have to slow down for as long.

25 miles
16.03 mile/hr

Comments:

Worked hard all the way through so was pleased.
Had to stop for a procession of cows to be parted so I could pass. Must've taken a minute to sort out.

What would you do differently?:

Nothing - did my best

Transition 2

Comments:

Felt a bit pooped coming in from the bike thought I had a long stretch left but turned in and there was transition so didn't get chance to take shoes off before dismount.
Stopped put feet down clumsily clambered off then got my trainers on etc. Bit slow for me.

What would you do differently?:

Have taken shoes off and jumped off bike

Felt tired off the bike but soon got into my stride with the run. Felt like I was pushing along although was surprised at the time. Was pretty consistent pace all the way round.

What would you do differently?:

Worked hard

Post race

Warm down:

Drinking lots

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Worked hard all the way through - felt i did my best today
