Comments:

No power....after a good swim...lots of people overtaking. Gains made in swim quickly lost on the bike
What would you do differently?:

More fluids, electrolytes as cramping in last 10km and all run

  • 00m
What would you do differently?:

Quicker transition....drink fluids on the bike

Comments:

Cramp in every leg muscle group all through the run. :o(

Ran all the way with only walking through the water stations
What would you do differently?:

More electrolytes on the bike and run.....coke was good but should have had less at the start of the run. a 2 hour run was as predicted but could have gone faster if no cramps

Wear a running cap to absorb water over head as heat was difficult....train in the sun and heat to prepare.
Post race
What limited your ability to perform faster:

Bike legs.....more training and mileage on bike needed. Greater experience of running in the heat and strategies for heat.

3 week illness before the race

Event comments:

An extra drink station on the bike.
Water station on the runs were just right
