Kept a good pace for me, not too fast. Easy to keep cool with the temperature at only about 8C and 30-40 km/h winds.

Run went smoothly, did fine for my level of training.

Bike course went well. Managed the first few hills quite well. The heavy, gusty winds became more of a problem as I got closer to the turn around.
Ride back was fantastic, well worth the hard slog to get to the turn around. Cruised at between 30-45 km/h and up to 60km/h on the downhill pitches. Toes where quite numb by the end.

Keep in my tuck more. Need to get properly fitted to the bike and the areo bars.

Had a bit of trouble locating my spot on the racks

Get a better idea of where I am in the transition area so that I can find it quicker.

Legs were much more tired, did a lot of walking. Tried to keep a bit for the kick at the end. Right achilies tendon started to act up.

Train more before the race.

Walking around the indoor complex. Got my food, and tried some of the free sample juices.


Not enough training.


Fairly well organized, all in all an enjoyable day. The weather wasn't great but it just makes it feel like more of an acomplishment.
I had a goal of completing in under 2 hours and I did that with lots of time to spare.
