Swim
  • 18m 41s
  • 750 meters
  • 02m 29s / 100 meters
Comments:

No 'panic' which was great. I'm very slow at swimming. I think my pace for the 750m was about the same pace I swam the 1.9km in the HIM. No wetsuit in this race.

The last leg was swimming straight into the rising sun. Made navigation really tough. Almost missed the chute - oyster beds on that side so that would have been very nasty.
What would you do differently?:

Swim faster :)

Transition 1
  • 03m 53s
Comments:

T1 not officially measured: The 'legs' are official times, transition times off my Garmin, therefore all the times will not add up. Also, my Garmin time was from when I got out of the water.
What would you do differently?:

Apart from not recognising my bike for a short while, not much. T1 was ok.

Comments:

The ride was ok. Marshalls were out strictly enforcing drafting. Person behind me got done. Nearly got wiped out at the dismount line when a woman must have remembered she had to go to the penalty box and cut across right in front of me when I was dismounting.
What would you do differently?:

Pretty happy with it.

Ok run, as I have done very little short runs, not sure how hard I can push.

Post race
Warm down:

walking, cooling, talking

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Not sure how hard to push. Could have pushed a bit harder.
