Felt like I was running harder than this.

First, my bike is too big to rack properly, so that costs some time.

I screwed up transition by forgetting to take of my shoes. The first time loss is in the bike, although my time hear is strangly slow too.

Get it right.

I left my running shoes on coming off run 1. I was running back into transition, stopped before I went over the timing mats and did not know what to do. Eventually, a race official told me to take of my shoes outside the T zone. All the hold-up ate into my bike time.

I took the first half of the bike hard, then eased up.

Get T1 right.

The shoes that I left outside the T zone had to be retrieved after I racked my bike. The bike rack was at the complete opposite end to I ran entirely through the T zone 3 time in T2.

I skipped drinking any fluid because of my screw up.

Get it rigt.

Rough run for want of fluids. Something is wrong in the timing too. Because I got caught, passed, then dropped by a runner who is listed onlhy 2 seconds faster than me.

Short amount of training after sicknesses. No taper.


Race rating is only a 3 due to timing and award mix-ups. The rest was good.
