Swim

Comments:

Didn't enjoy swim, felt wetsuit was too tight and found difficult to breath and reduce heart rate. Close to raising hand for assistance.

What would you do differently?:

Keep working on swimming, more open water swims to get used to wetsuit

Transition 1

Comments:

Easy transition, as there was no space left on the racks, set the bike up against the fence which meant easy to find and no fighting for space.

Nothing
