Pre-race routine:

Stayed at my parents, who live a suburb away and scootered to Elwood so I didn't have to worry about the disaster that is parking. My team mate had kindly pumped up my tires so I had little to do in transition other than attached my shoes. I opted to go barefoot for the sand run.
Event warmup:

Eh? Some hip swings and then a lot of standing on tippy toes in team transition to make sure I saw Ian run in.

Opted for no shoes beach run. It was better than last week as there was opportunity to run by the waters edge where it was relatively solid ground.

The aim was to go hard. I think I was passed by two females and a dozen of blokes, but for the most part I was doing the passing. My computer had a total bike time of 23.38 with an average of 27.5 km/hr which included the run in and out of transition.
Transition 2

I wasted a minute or two looking for the bike rack. Terrible oversight. I swear I ran down the correct row. Apparently not.
Run

Comments:

My main goal this week was to run better than last. And to focus on midfoot striking in my runners. I used the first km to warm up and get my heel striking out of the way then I tried to pick up the pace for the last two km where we had a tail wind.

Warm down:

Got to cheer on several members of the business I was racing for and talk triathlon. I haven't done that in ages ;).

Awesome event, pretty stoked to get the call up and make amends for last week.
