Busselton 1/2 Ironman - Triathlon1/2 Ironman

More or less on target for swim, I went a little wide at the first buoy, it was a little hard to navigate properly on the way out,I found myself swimming an extra 100m or so.

GOAL TIME = 40 MINS - 2.11 MINS/100M

I am happy with this performance, spot on my target time!

I couldn't get the damn suit off! This is only the 2nd time I have raced with it. I forgot you need to slip your thumb in to get it off and over your wrist.

Practice getting my suit off.

I went out way too hard, 1st lap took me just over 48 mins and 51 mins for the 2nd, I suffered hard on the last lap. I still managed to beat my goal time though.

GOAL TIME = 2.45.00 - 32.76 KM/HR

Steady pace and try to negative split the 2nd half if I still have it in the tank.

I was busting for a piss for roughly the last 40km, and then I had to wait in line!

When you gotta go, you gotta go!

I suffered badly, I couldn't run fast at all.
I did however manage to find my legs on the last lap, but not much.

GOAL TIME = 1.55.00 - 5.45 MIN/KM

I am certainly going to work on my run training over the winter.

Walk 1200m back to the cabin, have a shower and go to sleep.


I need to work on endurance, longer rides and longer runs.


The atmosphere is addictive, people lining the streets in support cheering you on. I loved the event, yes I could have gone faster, but I finished it and you never know, maybe I might even give the Ironman a go!
