Total Time = 1h 52m 56s
Overall Rank = /
Age Group = F25-29
Age Group Rank = 10/11
Pre-race routine:

Fed the baby, got dressed & had muesli for breakfast. Settled my 2 year old & off with friends for a lift to the race.
Event warmup:

Nothing. I poured while we were setting up. There were a lot of people talking of pulling out. I haven't done any training on the bike in the rain so I was very nervous about that. But just as we walked down to the beach the rain pretty much stopped.
Swim
  • 09m 20s
  • 500 meters
  • 01m 52s / 100 meters
Comments:

I had dreaded the swim becuase my last (and only other) tri the swim was terrible because I felt panicked & sighted WAY too often. This time was great. There were enough people that I was able to draft from time to time & I really enjoyed the whole swim.
What would you do differently?:

Not stress about it so much beforehand
Transition 1
  • 00m
Comments:

Transition time is combined with swim/bike times. Overall it went pretty well. I fumbled over my helmet strap for far too long.
What would you do differently?:

Nothing
Bike
  • 1h 06m 11s
  • 26 kms
  • 23.57 km/hr
Comments:

Considering the wet weather & my lack of ckill on the bike, I didn't push it too much. I still wear my joggers on the bike & they slipped around a lot. I really didn't want to crash so didn't push, especially on the downhills
What would you do differently?:

Push a bit harder
Transition 2
  • 00m
Comments:

Time combined with bike/run
What would you do differently?:

Nothing. The only advantage of wearing joggers on the bike is not to have to change shoes in T2!
Run
  • 37m 23s
  • 6 kms
  • 06m 14s  min/km
Comments:

A challenging run, even included steps! It was really interesting though because it went from road to offroad to beach. I dreaded the beach, knowing there was 1km of sand at the end. But when I got to it it was hard sand & probably the easiest part of the whole run! I even ran a few people down on the beach.
What would you do differently?:

Nothing
Post race
Warm down:

Fed the baby again!

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Being new. Not being confident on the bike. Not drinking on the bike.

Event comments:

Loved it & will definitely be back next year to smash this years time!
