Good swim, got stuck in slower traffic from earlier waves after rounding the first buouy which slowed me down for that leg. Found more open water after the second buoy and got back on pace.
Drifted of course a bit on the first leg.

Good swim with a good effort, not too hard, still good time.

Keep a closer eye on the top guys. If I draft I know I can easily stay with them all the way.

Pretty good trans, no major probs with the wetsuit.
As I do not have laps on my HRM i knew I had to take a couple of secs to set it to bike.

Climbing old stage was the hardest thing I have ever done. Going down after that, in the cool shade with the great views was awsome.
Good steady effort for the rest of the race. Really tried to save legs for the run. And tried to learn pacing myself.

All of the 48 finishers ahead of me had a faster bike leg. Push a bit harder next time, I was probably a bit conservative.

Was a bit disoriented. Had a great spot went right past it..

Better focus on transition spot and something bright to grab my attention

Started out good up that little hill, I did save some legs on the bike! So that worked. HOT HOT...decided to walk through the aid stations to make sure i got enough to drink. Tried to speed up after the turn around but could not keep it up consistently.

Build more base endurance.

Warm down was really a cool down. Sat in the shade with two cold wet towels on top of me.


Need more base endurance and fitness. Paced well.


This was my first Olympic. I wanted to break 3 hours and achieved that.
Good mental approach, patient on the bike before the climb and in the final stage as well. Run was tough.
Based on HR good very near LT physical effort.
Still learning and improving. On to the next race.
