Once I found my space after the chaos at the start, nothing to report, went according to plan.
my watch said 330m so a pace of just under 2 min. I can't do better than that right now

45 seconds faster than last time.

Comments:

A good transition, 11 seconds slower than last time but I wore a westsuit this time

so Swim + T1 about half a minute faster - so far so good

lots of up and down. pushed hard downhill and on flat to make the ups easier. Worked most of the time. 26 seconds faster than last time. Still going great

Comments:

Good T2, 8 seconds faster than last time. Still going great
Run

  • 06m  min/km
Comments:

that's where the fun ends. Had heavy legs, couldn't get going and when I got passed by 2 girls, I gave up trying.

Really unhappy about my lack of willpower. Did a brick the day after (20k+3k) and ran the 3k in 16 minutes so it's not the legs or the lack of condition, it's my stupid head.

Post race
Warm down:

Sat down and cried, feeling really stupid.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

the thing between my ears

Event comments:

Small village race. Very friendly and well organized. Room for everyone, beginners and more routined athletes alike
