Just as I left the transition area my speedometer fell and i have to stop, set my bike beside the road to find it. But the marshall was warning me for blocking other bikers. I have to leave the search. Good thing i have my garmin with me.
The weather was completely merciful. It poured at the 10th km all the way to the 45th. drizzle all throughout the bike course.
Got a chat with a fellow biker for a while thanking God and the heavens for the weather.

Event comments:

My logs at Beginner Triathlete and the inputs from its members at the forums helped me a lot. Without the logs I would not have had the motivation and discipline to train properly. Without the forums, I would not have had the tips to learn and absorb. I did not have a coach or a formal program but 5:56 WAS MORE THAN I EXPECT. THANK YOU VERY MUCH BEGINNER TRIATHLETE. YOU GUYS ROCK!!!
