Started off ok, but I don't think I was completely over my cold and my breathing rate quickly shot up and I had difficulty slowing it back down hence the fact my time was only 1min faster than my 1900m time!
What would you do differently?:

Not be ill!

Somehow I managed to accidentally pull the strap of my left shoe out of the plastic loop and couldn't feed it back through whilst cycling which meant I ended up doing the whole ride with one shoe unstrapped
What would you do differently?:

Check everything before the race starts!
