Flat water to start but a slight lap at bouy. Felt good on way out. Got to bouy quicker than I thought. On return, arms were beginning to fatigue and I was nervous of elite juniors catching up - which they did about 150 from home. Didn't get swum into but was anxious nonetheless!

But it was a great boost in confidence since I haven't swum beyond 300m in a race before. Now thinking about how 750m would feel!

Train more before hand!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Wasn't focussed on change and out of practice.

Be more organised about what to do.

Rode easily, could have pushed more but held back to perform better on the run (which seems to have worked).

Push harder on the bike and back my running training to get me though that discipline.

Tried to put bike in wrong place! Mis-identified my spot. No socks was ok.

I'd bike spot better before start.

Felt a lot better than I had expected. Run training must be really having an effect. Thought I was plodding but run time was 37/80 so doing really well. No pain.

Push a bit more later in the run.

Experience, lack of swim training


Very good and very organised.
