Comments:

Quite a lot of bumping.
What would you do differently?:

Sighting could have been a little better. Probably lost 20 secs but it was difficult to see for other heads.

Comments:

Put shoes in clips. Seemed to work really well.

Comments:

Yes, I could have pushed the bike section more and could perhaps have taken 1 to 2 mins off it but I was wary after Ripon and wanted to make sure I left enough in the tank for the run. One thing I was conscious of doing was keeping my heart rate below 150. It tended to be at 143 to 148.
Transition 2
  • 01m 9s
Comments:

I had used up all my drink but had a spare bottle in my bag so I stopped to take a drink of this. Time used was probably 10 secs.
What would you do differently?:

Possibly have a second bottle on the bike.
Run
  • 50m 6s
  • 10 kms
  • 05m 01s  min/km
Comments:

I purposely ran the first half on heart rate monitor. I was constantly trying to keep the heart rate below 150 and preferably around 145 for the first 5k. I took time to get two cups of water and made sure I drank as much as I could whilst I ran. On the second half I gradually increased the speed but made sure that I didn't run out of juice.
What would you do differently?:

Nothing
Post race
Warm down:

Nothing

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Fitness!!!
