swim is normally strongest leg, tried to get out early and ahead, no rythym, no breathing, had to swim with head up, heart rate jump to immediate, to go out quick have heart rate and breathing up

start slower and build, find rythym, no panic

stopped to do up helmet, long long run uphill, even longer than before

do helmet strap up right away

great ride, close to 30km/hr, above midpoint of race overall, pleased as not normally higher ranked than swim, gatorade instead of water in bottle

not much, a little push

average transition

no cramps this year, seems to be nutrition related, gatorade instead of water during bike may help, felt good at start, no rests at watering stations, not much left at the end

need to keep working on foot speed as overall stamina is there, aim for sub 5 k's

adequate, had a quick dip


bonked on swim for the first time


well organized third year in a row to start season, may need a change of scenery next year, depends on future swims,
