Got a bit off course on the swim, tried to keep effort level low to avoid too high a heart rate.

Push a bit harder in the mid-section

Overall was a pretty good ride, I would have liked to have had my garmin working, felt a bit lost without any speed or cadence data.
Got stronger as the bike leg went and finished strongly.

Do some 20 min TT efforts in practice

Comments:

I felt quite fatigued as I started the run and thoughts went through my head that my lack of running in training was going to get me. Once I relaxed and got into a steady pace I felt good and managed a steady pace through the whole run with a bit of a kick at the end.
My ankle started aching a bit from 5k but never got worse.
Post race
Warm down:

We had cold showers to walk through then sports drink, water melon, bananas and oranges.
I couldn't stop coughing for the first few minutes.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Having a cold, still need to increase my cycling.

Event comments:

The Noosa tri is very special, a great race and famous triathletes everywhere. Macca was starting his run as I started my swim. Pete Jacobs, Caroline Steffen, Crowie all there.

I was in Noosa spectating and had a blast, what an atmosphere.  Had the pleasure of meeting Crowie and having breakfast with Macca and Jacobs - cool.

Glad you had a good race!
