![]() Swim
Comments: Better navigation than rest of group but this resulted in swimming alone much of the time, so harder work. No draft to catch. What would you do differently?: Try to sprint at start and stick with leading group. ![]() Transition 1
Comments: A very long run into transition and through the transition area. What would you do differently?: Not fling wetsuit away quite so violently (necessitating need to recover it before running on to bike course). ![]() Bike
Comments: Very pleased with drinking schedule: managed to drink small amount every lap and so drank entire contents of water bottle. What would you do differently?: Possibly try to go out slightly harder on the first few laps and then try to retain that pace over latter laps. ![]() Transition 2
Comments: Slowed down a bit by need to put on t shirt and more sunscreen to prevent further sunburn. What would you do differently?: Make sure that have on waterproof suncream before the start of the race! And make sure that have good supply of Ironman waterproof suncream well before race - don't rely on Expo exhibiter having stock. ![]() Run
Comments: Comfortable - too comfortable. What would you do differently?: Should have pushed harder on first lap and tried to retain pace rather than seeing if could pick up pace on last lap. ![]() Post race
Warm down: Floated in sea with Georgia - divine! What limited your ability to perform faster: Having insufficient faith in my ability to run a little harder, combined with the extreme heat and mild sunburn. Event comments: Friendly small key event in pretty location but poor bike and run course. Last updated: 2004-10-08 12:00 AM

Cycled to Victoria with Georgia to catch train to Seaford, then cycled to event.
Georgia's mechanicals, my attempt to find sunscreen, and struggling into wetsuit.
