Comments:

The Mrs said there were a few ppl in my category behind me on the swim but website said I was second last?

Got a bit crowded at start but found my own ground and just took my time. Didn't worry about my position but pleased to see I wasn't last.

What would you do differently?:

Train more if anything

Started to feel the heat as soon as I stopped the bike with no breeze to cool me down.

Nothing

Comments:

The heat was taking it's toll now. It was just draining and I wasn't the only one taking a couple of walking breaks. Drank and poured at the drinks stations.

What would you do differently?:

Not much I could do differently really as the problem wasn't really me.

Post race

Warm down:

Stood around and talked with friends. Ate some fruit and drank some Gatorade.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

The heat was a big limiter today but taking the month of August off training didn't help.

Event comments:

I like this race as it's only about a mile from my front door and always well organised. the post race fruit wasn't as good as it usually is.
