Put socks and shoes on outside pool before run to transition, so this doesn't include socks, but does include shoe change.

Found the bike really hard. Just felt horrible for all but the last couple of miles. Broke spoke on back wheel 3miles in, so spent most of the bike worrying I was going to buckle the wheel.
What would you do differently?:

Get my cadence better. I think it was too low.

Comments:

All the bikes had been re-racked in the wrong places, so had to squeeze it in. Made it a bit of a challenge.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Bike. Just wasn't feeling it. Need to figure out how to warm my legs up faster at the start.

Good, well organised race. No drink stations. Nice courses.

Nice race, Rach... relieved nothing bad happened with the spoke.  Yikes.  I've never heard of that before, but I'm sure it happens. 

Really balanced performance on the different legs.  You are clearly a triathlete!  You'll get Kevin next time :-)

Congrats!

Stu
