The swim went well - I lapped 2 of the 6 in my lane and overtook all the others. My breathing wasn't great though and I ended up breathing on every stroke.

Put in a more realistic time so I don't have to pass people. Work on my breathing

Could have been slicker and could have run harder

Move a bit faster

Lost my chain at one point and slipped off the pedals all due to sloppy gear changes, despite this I managed to ride confidently and at a good speed and wasn't too knackered.

Not changed gear so cack handedly!!

Already in running shoes but the run off the bike was slow.

Practice running off the bike more and run a bit harder

Run was hard going, my breathing was shot at - that said it was quick for me (just very slow in relation to everyone else)

Maybe run a little harder at the end, just do more running really!

Warm shower and stretching followed by comfy clothes and a Bombay Saphire and slimline tonic! :)


My weight! My lack of running skills!


The arrangements for after the race left a lot to be desired - nightmares with roads, information, being told the wrong things, people not knowing and just general chaos. I can away with the idea that you were informed up until the point you finished then were left to fend for yourself - an shouted at for no knowing!
