 Swim
Comments: Quite happy with my swim, managed to find my place quite easily, no panic at the start, found some feet. If I believe my watch though, I swam more than I should What would you do differently?: Work on sighting and follow the buoys rather than other swimmers  Transition 1
Comments: When I tell people I do triathlon, they often ask me what I am best at, they expect me to say swim, bike or run. No, THIS is what I am best at. 4th best time out of the 392 participants. What would you do differently?: Nothing.  Bike
Comments: Good bike, averaging over 30k/h as planned. Transition 2
Comments: I am better at T1 but a good T2 nonetheless  Run
Comments: After totally giving up on the run at my last race, I was determined not to let it happen this time. with insight, I think I did overcook the bike last time which was much tougher. today I came off the bike with fresh legs and I was able to keep a 5:15 pace all through. Large crowds everywhere cheering you on while drinking beer (we run through the town center and the restaurants/bars are packed) give you wings What would you do differently?: I should really be able to maintain a 5 min/k pace over 4k, push a little more? Post race
Warm down: collected medal and t shirt, ate a banana and had a drink then picked up my bike and stuff and drove home Event comments: A fun race by the Ironman people. what a party! coming through the same finish line as the Ironman athletes will tomorrow, with crowds cheering is a lot of fun. almost makes me consider doing an IM....

Expert 4958 Middle River, Maryland Silver member | Subject: RE: Kalmar mini tri Nice race, Nathalie and way to push through the pain cave during the run part. Your transitions are like the opposite of mine. Cool race kit, too. And way to NOT be distracted by the beer drinkers this time!! |

Arrived far too early but there was plenty to do and stands to check out.

It’s usually a big party with large crowds
A liitle jog, a little stretch, a little swim
