Subject: RE: Cairns 70.3Aw Jess just read it - so sorry about that, could easily have been me! I actually was okay in the swim - I wanted to draft badly but people were ALL over the place - so I decided swimming straight was a better option than following this lot! I touched every buoy so definitely straight! I got swum over by teams and by Macca nice! Glad you thought the swim was long, me too. The water was FOUL. I'm so glad i didn't really drink any. run to transition long and painful on the feet I agree. I did get a volunteer strip my wettie so I was clearly lucky. Bike - mmm I stopped to get on but a long way from the line and i wouldn't have held you up you were in front.... Oh my GOD those hills were brutal in that heat - by the time I hit the turnaround and tackled those hills on the return trip I was smashed, had nothing left to give on the bike. some of the IM age groupers were a bit rude to say the least - I was keeping left all the way but they screamed a lot! The pros don't do that. One age grouper came through and wiped out some chick - straight into her, no warning - she flew over the handle bars onto the grass thankfully, had to take off her rear brakes as he'd bent the wheel all out of shape. He didn't fare so well as he landed on the gravel.... The run - well it was hot, hot and then hotter. I cramped pretty badly at 10km and walked it home. Finished in 7.39 - officially after the cut off but they didn't cut off....so I'm happy. I had a good day and i'm sorry you didn't. See you out there next year... oh my journey home - delayed by Jet star for 11 hours, got home at 3am today and up at 6am for work. Not happy. |
