Gettign onto the bike was okay. But a fairly strong head wind prevented me really getting into my stride early.

Better training in Swimming will improve this transition area

Good Ride. Tough into the wind. Travelling northbopund in the mid 40, turn and then lucky to get above 28km/h.

Gatorade mix was too strong.
Need to dilute the mix.
Still short on fluids
