Swim
Comments: OK start to swim. Managed to get breathing under control early and felt ok for first lap. Put off by a little bumping but after first 300m things opened up. 2nd lap managed to find someone to draft off which made this easy, but lost them on the way back. Then started having major problems with googles misting, along with sun glare, and had about 100m with virtually no vision. Went off course. Stopped to adjust goggles before restarting. What would you do differently?: Stop to deal with googles earlier. Get better at swimming as mentioned previously. Transition 1
Comments: Was struggling with vision out of swim. Think contact lenses dried up on swim. Then couldn't get suit off over heels. First time with shoes already on bike. Long transition both towards T1, and then onto bike. Not easy to overtake and didn't want to step off mat as rough ground. What would you do differently?: More practise taking wetsuit off. Bike
Comments: Started to get windy on last lap. What would you do differently?: Not sure I could have done anything differently. Legs were tired from big week on bike as 70.3 only 4 wks away. Transition 2
Comments: T2 empty which meant no problems in terms of space. What would you do differently?: Nothing Run
Comments: First 2 km was very uncomfortable but tried to push through it. Was all uphill initially and this may have been part of the problem. After 3kms started to feel good though and started passing people. At start of 2nd loop started to rain, then pour so was pretty cold towards end. What would you do differently?: Would have liked to get below 45mins. Post race
Warm down: Very little warm down as pouring with rain. Put on jacket, changed as quickly as possible. Having some lower GI cramps but managed to eat ok and felt better after this. What limited your ability to perform faster: Swimming - I think for me even this leg had hills! Struggled on cycling after two big (100km +) days earlier in week. Last updated: 2011-07-01 12:00 AM
