Pre-race routine:

We accidentally slept in so we were lucky we made it to be honest. Just had a bit of a quick dip and then got ready to go.
Event warmup:

Little swim to check the water temp. It was fine.
Swim

  • 200 meters

Comments:

Decent swim. I need to learn to line up at the front though because I wait and then overtake everyone once we get going.
I guess the fat girl doesn't look fast lol.
Transition 1
  • 00m
Comments:

The transition run was very long. I was 6th or so out of the water, and I had tape on the bottom of my feet so the sand didn't hurt. It worked but I had to rip it off in transition. I need to find a better way to do that.
I mount so much faster than all the other girls, it drives me insane that i just can't run.

I felt good on the bike. Comfortable, overtaking people. It's slowly getting easier and faster to ride after a swim. This is a good sign.
Transition 2
  • 02m 41s
Comments:

I still can't run here. I get off the bike faster than most people, but the transition runs are so long it fucks me up. I didn't wear socks so had shoes on fast, but yeh. Suck at running,
Run
  • 17m 45s
  • 2 kms
  • 08m 53s  min/km
Comments:

I apparently ran faster than normal. I felt ok, not fast but a little more comfortable. Things are getting better which is good. Another 2 km on the bike definitely wouldn't have taken me 15 minutes so I did better than race 1!!
What would you do differently?:

Just keeping up the training I have been doing will help me on the run. So keep it up I shall.
Post race
Warm down:

I found a spot and took photos. Got yelled at by that stupid motorbike wanker. Went out to breakfast and had a nap when I got home.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Being fat

Keep at it! The running is my downfall too.

A small improvement each race is my tactic. Enjoy the season!

I have always been an athlete, growing up playing team sports like basketball and soccer. I also ran in a couple of 10K races every year, so I had no reason to worry about running a 5K...right?

After I left the running store, I couldn't stop thinking about the sprint tri and how much of a challenge it would be for me. So instead of joining a gym, I started riding my bike and it felt great.
