Swim
Comments: Struggled on the swim today. Couldn't relax my breathing or get into a smooth rhythm and I tired easily. What would you do differently?: Did not do a lot of pool time leading up to this event. The distance isn't a problem it is the intensity, so I need to train more intervals at higher intensity. Transition 1
Comments: Transition was okay, though I lost where I put my bike which cost me valuable seconds. Socks on, bike shoes on, sunglasses on, helmet on, unracked and ran to mounting line. What would you do differently?: Pay more attention as to which row I racked my bike in! Bike
Comments: On the first couple of laps I tried to take in water but vomitted it back up again. By lap 3 my stomach had settled and I took a limited amount of water on. Rode the hills better than last race, stayed seated in a bigger gear for longer to keep the momentum going. Tried to make up time on the downhills. What would you do differently?: I think I swallowed some pool water on the swim which made me a bit sick, so obviously will avoid doing that next time. Considering I haven't been able to do much bike work this month because of a painful cyst I am actually not too disappointed at the ride. Even so I need to do a lot more hill work before next season. Transition 2
Comments: Good transition. Bike racked, helmet off, shoes off, runners on, cap on whilst running. What would you do differently?: Pretty happy with this transition. Run
Comments: Good run. Took me the first couple of laps to find my legs and get into a good rhythm. Gave the last lap everything I had, happy with the run. What would you do differently?: Do more bricks to get used to running faster off the bike. Post race
Warm down: Light stretch. What limited your ability to perform faster: Fitness. I managed to PR today over last year's time but not by much. I didn't have the best lead up to this race, dealing with achilles issues and a painful cyst. Thankfully both are now healed and I'm looking forward to getting stuck into more training over winter. Event comments: This is my fourth triathlon and was at my club. All of the members and officials are friendly and supportive. I couldn't ask for a better experience when I race with them as they always encourage me. Last updated: 2013-02-10 12:00 AM
