Legs still a little off from the 1/2 last week and the 47k bike ride on Saturday. Never felt that comfortable with the run, although did run with no breaks and no water breaks either.

Maybe not do the race the week before.

A little slow at transition. Fumbled a little with the helmet and then the shoes not done up properly. Also spent too much time getting the laced undone on the running shoes too. But was trying to prepare for the second transition a little.

Not use regular laces.

Touch ride, with major head and side winds. Also some rain on the course too.

Wear gloves and get some booties for the shoes and my feet were frozen when I got off the bike

Had issues with the running shoe laces and had to redo them once.

Not use laces.

Heavy legs (as expected), felt ok, but the hill back was pretty hard. Drank at the water stations.

Practice more bricks.

Wandered to the community centre and got post race food.


Head winds and cold weather. Also some issues at the transitions.


Good race and nice event. Last years weather was fantastic and that is what I expected this year, but unfortunately it didn't happen.

Glad I did it though.
