Swim
Comments: Lots of swell and chop made for a rough time. least enjoyable OWS of the season. Cramping in last 50m ruined any chance of sub 2:00/100m What would you do differently?: nothing Transition 1
Comments: Long transition, but temp was so low that I had to add a shirt over tri top AND wind beater and arm warmers. What would you do differently?: put on arm warmers and go, pull them up out on the bike. Bike
Comments: Good ride, good pace. Tempted to pick up on 3rd loop to take average over 20mph, but left energy for the run instead. What would you do differently?: Could have gone harder on 2nd loop and recovered on 3rd loop. Maybe shaved 3-4 mins. Transition 2
Comments: Temp was much warmer and being dry, all was quicker. What would you do differently?: last corner & 100m bike should have taken gel instead of on way out of T2 Run
Comments: still need to work on nutrition while running, not enough in on last stages of bike meant tough running trying to feed and keep 10min mile pace. What would you do differently?: HTFU on second half, wanted a sub 2hr and was way off. Post race
Event comments: A good race from the athlete's perspective, but a dangerous corner on the bike course that had an inexperienced marshal on it was the bigest negative. nothing for spectators, not even a burger van for lunch! I loved it, but it was the worst event yet for my young kids and my wife had a tough day keeping them busy and no food options added to the frustration. Last updated: 2010-09-16 12:00 AM
