En Piscine. I thougt I could have done better. I went too fast at start and did not find a good rythm. I was not concentrating. I felt like doing 90% all the time without being that efficient. Yet my time is a bit better than what I usuallay do. And all in all, I was 287/341, whicn is not bad.

I have to discuss this with my coach. I think I have to have a better feeling of how to manage 750 meters. Swimming with contestant of about my caliber was kind of a challenge too. In this specific case, just keeping up with the one before me would have been good enough. I think I would have save a 10 second!

I don't really know the time since it was not timed! So this is an approximation.

I think that I will try doing it without the velo short next time. Specially for a sprint.

26 km/h is about what I expected to achieve this year. I did not know I did achieve this yet... and I was not pushing it too much. I miss the opportunity to push further. The third lap was good but I start relaxing on laps 4 and 5 instead of keeping the pace or even pushing harder. Lack of concentration again.

Fix my odometer. I think knowing my speed would have helped a lot. Increase the pace steadily instead of slowing down at the end.

I would love to have a better bike. Seems that would help me improve my time a lot, like 10 min! Well, loosing 15 pound would help very much too.

Much better than first time. I was not worry to be last and the feeling was good. I was part of the crowd. So concentration was there.

Even if I was trying to be fast, I should have lace my shoes properly.

It was terrific! I loved my run. I was concentrating and keeping my pace for the first half of the run. I did stop at one point to understand direction (a good 10 sec lost there) and I had to lace one of my shoe (another 5 seconds). Yet, I kept the pace. For the second half, I went significantly faster (increasing my HB to 165) and for the last 500m I could push it (up to HB 172) passing two people.

I guess I would like to push it a bit more to see how fast I can handle this... but overall, I will keep the same strategy may be in third this time. First third confortable enough to bring my running muscles to life, second third increase pace to 165HB at least and last third, go up to 170HB. A real good sprint at the end would be great too.

I did'nt do any and I feel sore in the shoulder. I have to watch for these shoulder.


Knowledge of how far I can push my body. I am a slow learner, I need to experiment a lot before I really improve. From last race, I learn I could improve run and I did. From this race, I think I have learned some things about cycling.
I was tired too. A big week. 5 hours sleep the night before. I have to learn to relax and remind myself that this is fun.


The man on the mic was not great but beside that everything was A+.
