brutal sighting was all over the place again. Need to sight better and stay in a pack of people. Start was a little rough

sight better, pick up pace for last 200m

put on bike shoes and ran in them. was a little dicy but overall okay. long run to transition and from bike rack to mounting line

get more sand off my feet

course was out and back around a 90 degree corners 4x. the corner was a big problem because of the speed differences between the cyclists. some screamed through some slowed to a crawl. Had to jam on brakes in two of the corners due too erratic bikers.Hammered out of corners to get back up to speed but that took a lot of energy

hard to say, I think the bike course sucked. legs were pretty tired due to biking 160km on Friday (dont do that before big A race!) Bike faster

slow on the transition for some reason. lost focus. should have had a water bottle for a quick boost at transition

bring throw away water bottle to leave transition with

cant drink out of the cups without walking. ended up spitting it out and coughing at the first water station. Walked at the second and drank a bit but didnt want walk so poured it down my back. legs felt fine after bike. broken toe was sore which slowed me down a bit. should have been a bit faster

either learn to drink from a cup or bring a water bottle

quick dip in lake to cool down. drank water bottle + red bull. slow bike home 7km


I am not athletic, no taper, swimming all over the frigging lake


good race nice set up but the bike course has a lot to be desired. Because it is so short (5km) there is a lot of congestion in the 2 90 degree corners. Jockeying for position before the corner, getting through then back up to speed took a lot of time. The potential for an accident is high in these areas.
