Quite happy with my swim, managed to find my place quite easily, no panic at the start, found some feet. If I believe my watch though, I swam more than I should

Work on sighting and follow the buoys rather than other swimmers

When I tell people I do triathlon, they often ask me what I am best at, they expect me to say swim, bike or run. No, THIS is what I am best at.
4th best time out of the 392 participants.


Nothing.

Good bike, averaging over 30k/h as planned.

I am better at T1 but a good T2 nonetheless

After totally giving up on the run at my last race, I was determined not to let it happen this time.
with insight, I think I did overcook the bike last time which was much tougher.

today I came off the bike with fresh legs and I was able to keep a 5:15 pace all through.

Large crowds everywhere cheering you on while drinking beer (we run through the town center and the restaurants/bars are packed) give you wings

I should really be able to maintain a 5 min/k pace over 4k, push a little more?

collected medal and t shirt, ate a banana and had a drink then picked up my bike and stuff and drove home


A fun race by the Ironman people.

what a party! coming through the same finish line as the Ironman athletes will tomorrow, with crowds cheering is a lot of fun.

almost makes me consider doing an IM....

(only kidding)
