Mooloolaba Tri - TriathlonOlympic

felt good during the swim. tried to relax and never really pushed it.could see some different coloured caps from the 2 waves ahead as we overtook some. saw a couple of guys fro the wave behind overtake me. overall very comfortable.

still a fair bit of improvement to be had here. feeling quite strong in the water but need to be consistant with the good technique. can feel myself get sloppy often.

long run to bike from swim. good transition though. dont think i could have improved

tail wind on way out, felt fast, up around 40 + ks an hr. headwind on the way back, ouch! but weather hit also , some strong rain. this actually bunched everyone. ended up in group of 30 odd which grew so couldnt help drafting and actually was easier.

nothing. could have pushed harder to get out of group but with weather was a bit dangerous

everything soaked from rain so didnt put on socks. paid for this later

put on socka

despite my fastest ever time on the bike i felt quite rested starting the run. didnt put on socks and started to rub, was quite painful by 6 ks. didnt slow down tho. also desperately required to pee from about the 30 k mark on bike so this was annoying during run. otherwise felt good had gel about 10 min before end of bike and at 4-5 k mark so had plenty of energy and ran quite hard. pushed v hard last 3 k.

worn socks. lost some skin which made it painful but didnt slow the run. not sure how to solve the need for toilet. felt the carb drinks really helped the energy during race. maybe too much fluid

breathed a lot


need to improve swim technique and hold it consistantly. improve run. having been tri ing for 6 mths now this was my 2nd olympic distance. an improvement of 13 min from 1st one in november. all legs improved significantly. very happy with result. still a way to go to play with the big boys but its a possibilty:) really enjoying this sport!!


needed to have some portaloos at the swim start!
