Very good race where everything just worked out the way it was supposed too! Got a good warm-up in by biking from home, taking it easy at first and once I got to the harbor I took the 1min efforts. Arrived at the race at 9:55pm and start was supposed to be a at 10:20pm but they were running late by 15 minutes. I biked a bit more, watched a bit , went to the car and changed clothes, went to the bathroom and then stood around for about 5 minutes before the start. We were only 4 girls in the TT Bike class (and 17 in the roadbike class) and I was up against the best female Triathlete in Iceland who usually only bikes a but slower than Torben (!) and against the best Biker in Iceland (road and MTB) and against the one and only female in Iceland who finished IM Kona. Great!! I knew I had a chance to get third by winning the Kona woman but I needed to bike like a manica so I pushed right from the start. I had covered the PM computer but during the first lap I uncovered the seconds so I could keep an eye on the Kona woman who started 1 minute behind me. 6 lap course with very tight 180 degree turns. I can turn so I think I made good time during those. After the first lap the Kona woman and me were still equal but after that I slowly increased my lead. We had tailwind out and headwind back which was OK as the distance were so short it did not really matter. I pushed hard during the tailwind and took it a tad easier during headwind or at least it felt that way. My breating was hard right from the beginning. Never changed but I knew right away that this would be the competition to push!

So I got third with a time of 55:44 for the 32km and I was 3,5 minutes behind the best Biker and 6,5 minute behind the best Triathlete...BUT also 1 min and 17 secs in front of the Kona woman :)

Really good race and I am sure I would have not biked so fast and the Power that I did if I would have seen the numbers during the race so covering it up was a good call! :)
